You can find the interview here.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel‘s Tap entertainment section has just posted our two videos that Rebecca and the Grey Notes made at the J/S studio. Thanks to music critic Piet Levy for the invite. Both songs are off our new CD, “Volume Two.” Let us know what you think. Here is “Lovin’ You Every Single Minute (of the Day).”  And here’s  “Picture of You.”

Our summer road show continues Friday, July 28, with a performance at Tally’s Tap & Eatery, N31-W24661 W. Sunset Drive, Waukesha. First chord will be struck at 8:30 p.m. Tally’s has a superb and bountiful fish fry, so dig in to a great meal and then dig some music.

Thanks to an invitation from music critic Piet Levy, we’ll be recording a couple of videos on Monday, July 24, for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tap Milwaukee section. Both videos will be of songs off our new album, “Volume Two.” If everything goes according to plan, the videos and a band interview will be released prior to our two-day stint in mid-August on the Major Goolsby’s Stage at the Wisconsin State Fair.

We certainly enjoyed the weather and the large turnout at our fourth Bastille Days show July 14 in downtown Milwaukee. We took photos of many of our fans who were there, and you can see those photos on Facebook. Thanks to John Ertl for booking us, and thanks to everyone who supported us.

If you have been following us for a while, you’ll know that we are blessed with having a great photographer. Jeff Zmania has been taking photos of our band since our first gig in April 2013. He captured our first gig at Summerfest on July 2, and you can review the results here. Check out Jeff’s homepage at www.jmzphoto.com, where you can purchase his excellent photos.

Once again, we had a great time at Pam’s Fine Wines in Mukwonago. Thanks to Pam and Mike for inviting us back. Next up: One of our favorite gigs, Bastille Days. We will be playing two 50-minute sets on July 14 beginning at 4:30 p.m. and ending at 6:30 p.m. This is one of Milwaukee’s most popular street festivals, and we are thrilled to be playing there again. Hope to see you there.

Fresh off of our Summerfest performance, we’ll be playing July 7 in the cozy confines of Pam’s Fine Wines, 100 Main St., in downtown Mukwonago. First chord will be struck around 7 p.m.
