Album art and design

We sold almost all of our physical CDs at the E.P. release show the other night (which was an absolute BLAST btw). If you didn’t buy one or haven’t seen it, we were lucky enough to have the wonderful and talented Allie Runnion design our CD. Check out her blog for an IN-DEPTH view into her work.

Also our dearest friend Bonnie Fitch did the beautiful album art. She posted the other possible cover art options that she had made for us and MAN they were all so great I still can’t believe we were able to choose one.

More CDs are on their way! Thanks again for a memorable night – pictures and vids to come soon!

New E.P. coming January 6th!

NEW E.P, JANUARY 6TH, THAT’S TOMORROW YOU GUYS. Maaan we are SO excited! Here’s a vid from the mastering session with our talented friend Ian Doerr. It’s been a wild and exciting journey getting this album done and we feel blessed to have so many friends helping to support its release.

Our release show is this coming Saturday, January 11th, at Opus 99. Details in the Facebook event!

PorchFest tomorrow! (with our new band member!)

We are pumped for tomorrow!

The suuun will be shining, we’ll be playing some new songs, and the BEST part is that we’ll be introducing our new band member. It’s a surprise, so don’t even bother asking AW WHAT THE HECK I GOT A NEW GUITAR. Sorry – spoilers. But yes, it’s true, I got a Martin 1939 0-18 and it sounds absolutely wonderful. If anything, just come to check this thing out, it’s a beaut.

As a refresher, we’re playing from 2-4, the first hour as Opal Puckett playing our doo-woppy oldies and indie-folk, and then the second hour as Hello Ghost with our friends and family Steve and Amy Pardo. It should be low-key, fun, and an overall beautiful day.

Hope to see you there!

We are extremely excited for this! If you haven’t heard of Porchfest, it’s basically people playing music on porches all across Somerville for a whole day. I KNOW it sounds amazing. Opal Puckett will be playing at a friends house near Davis Square (19 Spencer Ave, Somerville) and we’re ALSO gonna be performing with our other band, Hello Ghost, as well! Check out the music tab above for a listen. Hello Ghost includes Steve and Amy Pardo (Jonathan’s bro and sister-in law) and we haven’t played a show in oh I don’t know about a year. We have some great new songs to showcase for the first time, so YES this is big. May 18th. Come to this.

Also, TONIGHT we are playing at our favorite restaurant, B Street. If you haven’t come yet this place is worth the trip. We’ve fallen in love with the people and LET’S JUST BE HONEST the food is amazing. We have a few new songs that we’re excited to play for the first time, so come hang!

…it’s really more like this…

…BUT NEVERTHELESS. We’re VERY excited to be playing at the gallery opening for Alyssa Waters (artbyalyssa). It’s gonna be awesome. The main focus of her paintings are on birds and, as you can see from her website, she can draw some pretty beautiful ones. We didn’t see any Bowerbirds, but we can help out in that area. 😉

The reception is TONIGHT, Thursday, March 7th at The Gallery at Porter Mill. Starts at 6, we play from 7-9.

Here’s the Facebook event. Hope to see you there!
