Live from the Shoals
Recently, we recorded four songs for a local video series called "Live from the Shoals." Thanks to Corey Hannah and his crew, as well as the other bands, Lauderdale and Gum Creek Killers, for making it such a good time. Look for the videos later this year, and we might even work up a live EP from the material. Stay tuned...

Split 7" Single and Upcoming Shows
We'll be heading into Fame Studios this Saturday to record a single for a split release we're putting out with another local Shoals band, The Bear. Hopefully, we'll have it ready to release in late summer/early fall. We're only going to print 300 copies and bundle some extra goodies with it. Should be a fun experiment.
Also, we've got a few shows coming up in July and August. Take a look at our Shows page. If you're in the Shoals area or Birmingham area, come out and see us.

Secret Stages Preview
We got a real nice review from the Black and White for our upcoming appearance at Secret Stages in Birmingham:
♦ Belle Adair
(Muscle Shoals, AL) 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Matthew's Bar and Grill
Stunningly good vocals complement superbly crafted, at times ethereal, folk-pop music that recalls Will Oldham, Lisa Germano (especially the positively brilliant song "STN"), Badly Drawn Boy, maybe a touch of the Beatles at their folksiest, and Bob Dylan in his rare pop-oriented moments. This is Spartan-but-sophisticated pop music grounding itself with acoustic strings, harmonium, pedal steel guitar, and precise harmonies, yet never indulging the clichés of Americana, country rock, or freak folk. Most of the music suits a lazy Sunday morning, but if called upon this group can rock in the manner of The Band and Tom Petty—something involving swirling organ riffs and, again, envy-inducing harmonies. Also, if this were 1968, Glen Campbell might be charting a grand, sweeping cover of the Dylanesque "No Reply." It's hard to believe that these guys, coming out of Muscle Shoals and showing off at Fame Studios, haven't moved onto a much bigger scene in a much bigger town. Perhaps Belle Adair could be useful somewhere in middle Tennessee.
