'Happy New Year, Edheads On-line

We hope that you had a marvelous Kwannuhmas and NYE wherever you spent it!

We're keeping this short and sweet, but the shows kick off right away for us, starting in Cleveland this Friday, and finishing by month's end in Pasadena, California. Check out the shows listed below.

ROBBIE SOLO

Robbie had a couple successful shows in Virginia to wrap up 2003 and managed to the record his Jammin Java sellout shows, and you can look for a release in early 2004. Robbie will be turning in some solo engagements as well over the course of the year, so watch the website for details and updates for All Things Robbie.

LOTS IN STORE FOR 2004

The calendar's filling up with lots of shows all over the US (and even Canada in February). For the DC Area hometown crowd, you can mark your calendars for August 28 when we return to the prestigious Filene Center at Wolf Trap! .... and yes -- there are still recording aspirations during the Winter, too.

OH MY WAMMIE!

We're happy to announce that we've garnered four (really three) nominations for the Annual Washington Area Music Association Awards. These include Best Contemporary Folk Group, Best Contemporary Folk Album (Three Rooms), and Artist of the Year. We're excited for our clutch graphic designer, Dan Schuman of Lawrence Marie, who pulled in a nomination for Best CD Cover Design (Three Rooms). You duh man, Dan! The awards ceremony is February 15 at The State Theater in Falls Church, VA. We'll be sure to keep you posted.

SATELLITE RADIO PLAYS EFO

Hopefully, Santa Claus delivered XM Radio tuners to your stockings. If you are presently part of the XM Nation, please know that they've been quite generous in spinning your humble folk foursome, particularly The Village (Ch 15). They seem to be receptive to requests and feedback, and if you find yourself in request mode, you can request good ole EFO at the following shows on XM:
thevillage@xmradio.com
xmcafe@xmradio.com
theloft@xmradio.com
Hopefully, NY-based, Sirius Radio will follow suit. It's certainly great to hear music on the radio again!

Hope to see you at a show soon.

Here's to a great 2004
