Two of the band’s planned fall appearances will NOT be rescheduled, however – September 26 in Santa Barbara and October 4 at The Austin City Limits Festival. Refunds for the Santa Barbara show will be available at the point of purchase.

Lee fractured his wrist while playing tennis, no minor injury for a guitarist, writer, and visual artist. Or a tennis player. Please join us in wishing him a quick and thorough recovery.
