Some Quick announcements for the end of summer and fall.

Sometime in October we plan to hit the studio to record our newest project, simply titles "Electric Cowboy Lullabies" with the wonderful Ellis Clark. Stay tuned for updates and enjoy the rest of your summer people!

It gives me great pleasure to extend a very personal invitation to you for an evening I have been looking forward to for many months. Maybe I have mentioned to you before or via FB about recording/touring and all that... maybe you have missed concerts I have invited you to before, but hey! now is your chance to really redeem yourself! And of course I would love to see you.

So the rumors are true! We are releasing our new record "The Troubles" this March 27th, and putting on one hell of a concert at Chicago's infamous "Cubby Bear" in Wrigley. Joining us our some amazing friends/acts. The Line-up is as follows.

Goodbyehome
How Far to Austin
Makeshift Prodigy
Jackpot Donnie

Also due to the popularity of this show with the hometown crowd, we will be role-calling tickets. Included below is my personal contact info if you would like to reserve general admission or you can opt for great wrist band drink package at $40 for 3 Hours of all you can drink Call (top shelf) spirits and good beer included
+ ticket to the show is included
+ gratuity is included


also, when buying this package people get to come in the side (Addison) entrance to the venue and they get their drinks from that side bar (which if you've been in, is huge) then they can come and go as they please - they walk right out to the floor to see the show but don't have to wait in a pack to get drinks with everyone else.

Hello Friends of GBH!

Greetings and Happy summer to everyone!
We have been toiling endlessly to record our new record "The Troubles" and are shooting to release it sometime this fall, there will be both a Vinyl, Compact Disc & Digital Version! We are also super excited to be working with Producer Ellis Clark, who has worked for Atlantic Records, Bands like Le Conchorde, Phil Angotti, Epicycle and the Handcuffs and even Chicago's own Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.

We also have quite a bit of Live Shows coming up shortly with some awesome local bands joining on the bill's. Saturday September 19th will be the Inaugural show for a Chicago based organization "Chicago Roots Collective" in which we are members. It's basically a local Music Mafia in which the mission statement is something along the lines of "Together we achieve more". All ten bands will perform at Chicago's historic venue adjacent from Wrigley Field, the Cubby Bear. This will be a night you can not miss!

On that note we are proud to announce GBH will be supporting five time Grammy winner Bella Fleck and the Flecktones on 12-12-09. We are extremely excited to be a part of such an amazing night! We hope to share this experience with you, so do not miss this show!

We will also be shortly announcing the date of our CD release show, and information regarding the sale of our upcoming release "The Troubles". We would also like to extend our thanks out to everyone who has contributed in the continued success of this band, and helped us to accomplish so much in such a short time period. We are forever in your gratitude!
