Last fall we played a track for track cover of this album as reimagined by Andrew Bird and Madison Cunningham on Open Air. Get ready for the original. This is the first time this album has been reprinted since it came out. See comments for a Bird/Cunningham version of "Crying in the Night"

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks recorded an album as a duo before joining Fleetwood Mac. It wasn't a hit in 1973. But after much anticipation, it's due to get its first reissue in September.

Note the change of venue

**Please note a venue change due to rain in the forecast**

See you at the Rogue Valley Unitarian Church! 87 4th Street, Ashland, OR. There will be no food or drink options at this venue.

Rain, rain, go away!!

But in all seriousness, we plan to build a stage out at Fry Family Farm by next summer that will be rain proof, so this is the last year we will ever have to move shows because of rain.

Thanks again to our amazing sponsors!
Pacific Oasis and Conscious Construction!
