Punta Gorda's very own Hibiscus Festival, May 20, 2012
In Other News:
We really are working on a recording project! Promise!
We hope to have an EP ready later this Spring, with the help of our new sound guy, Sam Luterotti. We're hoping it will have a fresh feel to it, sort of as if you were sitting in the circle with us. That's when we're happiest with the music. Hope it all comes through on the recording!
Here are some shots of our first session, at The Meeting Place (in Steve's music room that we're so honored to play in, every time.)

Willfest, March 2012:
WillFest 2012, held at Sertoma Youth Ranch was a lot of fun! Dan Leach sat in with us on our Saturday set, filling in as beautifully as always.
And the season is almost done. The weather is changing, and we remember why we love living where we do, so much. Festival season has been busy, and satisying!
We kicked off a series of shows at Artsensation 2011, at the Charlotte Harbour Events Center (Nov. 2011). It was a nice, short set, with an excellent sound man (thanks Nick!) , some new material, new instrumentation...things are staying fresh with Still Friends.
The SteveFest Concert Series has kicked off, November 19 at the History Park on Shreve Street. Screamin' and Cryin' opened up for us. It was some good, down home music that night. Check out our calendar page for the other shows! And mark that calendar!
The SteveFest organizers have managed to create a festival animal that can be walked on a leash, versus the single big event which can, overwhelmingly, walk the owner. It's been great to play with Jack Williams, Roy Schneider, and Slaid Cleaves last season. This season, we've shared the stage with Screamin' and Cryin', Still on the Hill, Ben Prestage, and coming soon: Copper Box!
The Will McLean Festival is one of our favorites, and the new configuration of Still Friends: Carrie, Japhy, Tiffiny and Reed, was joined by Dan Leach on the Magnolia Stage for our Saturday evening set. What fun, to have a five piece playing together again! On Sunday, at the Azalea stage, the four piece Still Friends played a set full of good energy, and just as much fun. Until next year, WillFest!
We are gearing up for an April 20 show in Punta Gorda, planning some recording for an EP release soon! And, the Florida Folk Festival is on the horizon, Memorial Day Weekend up in White Springs.
