The Good Graces EP Release Party

I will be performing with The Good Graces in support of our new EP 'Bring On the Tambourines' at Kavarna in Decatur, this Saturday, September 26, at 8pm. The EP is getting great reviews out in the blogosphere and we enjoy performing the songs. We'll also have a drummer sitting in with us for the show (thanks Donna!).

This is also the CD release party for our friends Chickens & Pigs, and our friend Lindsay Appel will also be performing. As well as other surprise guests.

So a great night of music all the way around. No cover. Come as you are.


The Good Graces are Kim Ware, John McNicholas, and Jim Combs. Read more!

My alt folk band, The Good Graces, is giving away our new EP, Bring On The Tambourines, for FREE - one song at a time.

The EP's third song to be made available, "Pretty New Song" is here:

This is my personal favorite off the EP, and features Kim on vocals, acoustic gtr, and drums, John on electric guitars and leads, and me on organ. Jerry Kee did a phenomenal job with other sonic flourishes and mixing, and Carl Saff provided the mastering polish.
