We attended the Austin Music awards, by invitation from the Austin Chronicle, to learn that we won "Best None of the Above" band category!!
We also placed in some individual awards. Cella placed #3 for Female Vocalist, Westen Placed #4 for Miscellaneous Instrument, and Doyle placed #9 for Horns.
We auditioned for America's Got Talent a couple of weeks ago, and while we cannot say what happened, as Sharon Osborne has sworn to hunt us down if we do, all we can say is that you'll have to tune in and watch...we're quite interested to see what happens, ourselves...
We've got a lot of shows happening throughout the Spring and Summer, and we'll be visiting Houston, Kansas, and The Ozarks later this year for Harvest Fest. Check the calendar for details!!
