We thank you for the continued support and warm wishes for Julie in her bout with breast cancer. The third round of chemo is coming up after our next South East tour. The one performance we had last month at the Somerville Theatre was one for the books. Thanks so much to all who attended. We hope you can join us at one of the four shows we have scheduled in December. See below for details. EF-O SAY CAN YOU SEE This coming Sunday, we will have the great honor to perform our National Anthem at the Carolina Panthers home game in Charlotte (vs. Atlanta - Julie's stoked to see VA Tech alum Michael Vick). After this, we're proud to say that we will have performed the Star Spangled Banner at just about every major U.S. Men's team sporting event (MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, and even NCAA Football), so it's going to feel a little like a career Grand Slam.
