🚂 BIG NEWS 🚂

Our new full-length album, Fiddle & A Rose, will be released into the world on November 22nd! And of course we know no finer way of celebrating than by throwing another Debutants Ball at The Clyde Theatre with some of our best buds…

As is tradition, we’ll feature special guest performances, local and regional vendors, surprise antics galore, and two red-hot sets on the formidable Clyde stage. All ages are welcome to mosey in, bring your in-laws, your outlaws, and your inner outlaw – come one, come all to the FUNSLINGER’S BALL!

Tickets go on sale Friday, but to get The Ball rolling we’re releasing the first song off the album today. Go check out Buffalo Bill anywhere you stream music now!
