LIVE TV!!!

So now that I've been playing with The Woeful Ones for a year, and we've been trying (okay, Steve has been trying) to really get ourselves out there and promote ourselves, we've managed to take a few steps in the right direction. Promotion-wise, the biggies have been radio appearances. We were on the WMNF 88.5's Tuesday Sonic Detour as a full band with host Amy Snider and also Steve & I went on WMNF's morning show. I also booked us (Steve, Jay & myself) on USF Bull's Radio's Grassroots Groove with hosts James & Trey (I also made an appearance on the Groove solo). All three were great fun and great promotion. Today we took another step. This morning Steve, Jaybone & yours truly made an appearance on the local Tampa Bay television network's show Studio 10. We had a lot of fun, even though we did have a bit of a technical issue. We played my song "Caterpillars" and while the end credits of the show ran we played a bit of one of Steve's new songs, "Bury Me With My Boots On", which apparently got stuck in Mark, the sound guy's head, because he kept singing it with an imitation drawl ala Steve. If you weren't able to check it out live and you forgot to set the DVR, you can check out the archives. Big thanks to hosts Holley Sinn & Jerome Ritchey and sound man Mark.

  1. And you guys were truly awesome. Never noticed any "technical" issues at all. Hey, Steve, is it time for a new guitar? Just kidding. You all rock even though it's woeful.

  2. Once again, JOB WELL DONE!!! You guys were awesome! I also did not notice any technical issues, so hopefully not to many other people noticed either. Brandon, I so look forward to coming out and seeing you, whether it is with the Woeful Ones, Sofa Kings, or Solo, I get so excited to come and see my cousin play and sing!! You were absolutely great today, can't wait to see you and the Woeful Ones on Saturday!!!

    Love Ya,

  3. I notice the technical issue, that's how I knew you weren't lip-sync-ing. Cool tune that Caterpillars! You guys should get your own show on cable once a week. Do they still do that?

  4. That's a great idea Rick. I don't know if they still do that but they should. And we should.
