Murphy's Pub on March 15. Early show from 8-11. It's our one show until this summer. Come on out, grab dinner with family, and watch Matt and the rest of the gang play all the nostalgia country covers from the 80-90-00-10' and the originals that they are known for. Come early, space fills up fast in the last few shows.

A little project we have been working on. Finally got around to mixing the audio from this show 10 years ago. Hopefully more to come this summer

This is the live recording of all the original members at their reunion show after not playing together for years. This was the beginning of the new chapter...

For our southern friends that still follow us. Yes it gets this cold here. 32B was a fitting name and not just made up. 😂
