Take a look at our schedule of dates down below, and you can rest assured that EFO is back in business, and sporting our best Back To School fashions. BIG HOMETOWN SHOW AT WOLF TRAP'S FILENE CENTER ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 28 The forecast calls for gorgeous weather, so there's no excuse not to pack up the blanket, wine & cheese in the wicker basket and head for the greatest open air venue on the planet - WOLF TRAP in Vienna, Virginia Pavilion seats have been moving fast, and the lawn is not far behind. Opening the show will be Canadian fiddling sensation Natalie MacMaster. Don't miss out! For tickets call 703-218-6500 or visit http://www.wolf-trap.org **Though the new CD will not be out, we WILL have a special 3 song EP that will only be available at the Wolf Trap show (you can read more below). EFO'S 9TH CD IS SCHEDULED FOR AN OCTOBER 19 RELEASE "This is Me" is the title of the new CD. Fifteen songs in all, we're quite pleased with this, our first studio album in over three years. For the first time, we worked with Grammy-winning producer, Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, James McMurtry), and crafted a sound that will leave you wondering, "What kind of performance-enhancing substances were these guys on?" Yet, no such artificial augmentation was necessary - just artistic inspiration, industrial strength java, and the occasional Pad Thai takeout from next door. Ballads and rockers aplenty, it's the usual spectrum-spanning audio adventure you expect from EFO. You won't know whether to reach for your dancing shoes or the facial tissues, but you will know that you'll need to buy many, many copies for all your family and friends. EFO is back, and this time.... it's personal! (The title says it all). ** Again, though the official release date is slated for Oct 19, we will have a special 3-song EP available only at our big Wolf Trap show (as added incentive to join us for our biggest show of the year). Two songs are from the new CD. One song is not. Some may call said song a bonus cut - others may call it cutting-room floor rubbish. We record. You decide. EFO AT THE FOUR CORNERS FOLK FESTIVAL - LABOR DAY WEEKEND Nothing can quite describe the "love-fest" we have with this beautiful little Southern Colorado mountain town, its people and its incredible festival. You just have to be there. This will be our fifth appearance, and they have us closing the main stage on Saturday night. In years past, we've jammed with Nickel Creek, Lloyd Maines, John Cowan, Drew Emmitt, Alison Brown, Tony Furtado, Laura Love, and each time seems to get better and better. At this pace, we're bound for some sensory overload. The lineup is fat - and the setting is heavenly. Details are down below.

Swimming pools... Movie Stars. That's right, Robbie is California-bound to open up for some Richard Shindell shows. Details are down below.
