So much fun at the Bertolin Barn last night!

Hello!

As you may have heard, we did arrive safely on the Front Range. We played last night at the Bertolin Barn in Longmont Colorado, with our good friends, Lonesome Traveler.

If that weren't fun enough, we were also joined by, Aaron McCloskey, from such bands as, Steve Smith & Hard Road, Bonnie & the Cydes, and probably many more.

We saw so many old friends and made tons of new friends. The highlight of my night had to have been when we had, what I like to call, a double-bass-solo-extravaganza... where Even and I split a bass solo... accompanied by half of Lonesome Traveler and half of Narrow Gauge.


Every time we play a show (now I am aware that we've only played three shows thus far) I find myself saying "this is the best show of the tour!" Everywhere we've played, stayed, eaten, and/or visited, we've been met with such enthusiasm and hospitality. I, for one, feel very thankful for that.


I don't have too much time now before we take off for our next show somewhere around Palmer Lake. Be sure to visit our facebook to see some more fun photos, and check our website for where we'll be next!

Landing on the Front Range

We have officially landed on the Front Range of Colorado!!! We have all once called this home so we are super excited to be playing some shows in our old stomping grounds.

We had a great time in Wray, CO and we made a lot of new friends and connections. We want to thank E.J. and his family for putting us up and being so hospitable. The turnout was great, and we had an awesome time.

Our next show is at the Bertolin Barn in Longmont, CO with the local favorite Lonesome Traveler. We are gearing up for a great show, and can not wait to get to the rest of Colorado!

Road trips, Dogs and Vineyards... oh my?

Well, we made it across most of the United States in about 20 hours and arrived last night in Eagle, Nebraska.

In travelling news, we were lucky enough to have the technological mind of Mr. Weatherly set up streaming radio so we could tune into KRFC in Fort Collins. The signal didn't last for long, but we were able to listen to our good friends, Lonesome Traveler on Live at Lunch while driving across Missouri.

Travelling across the country with 4 people, 3 dogs, 5 instruments and enough gear for 3 months can get a little tight in a van... so our arrival at the home and Vineyard of Bart & Nancy Holmquist was a welcome break from the tight quarters!

The band members have been sleeping, eating Nancy's fabulous cooking, (fresh mango salsa, anyone?) enjoying the great house wine, and catching up on sleep. The dogs, who got plenty of rest in the car for 2 days, have been running and playing with the other two family members in the house, Mazy and Hydro. I know that we have all made friends for life!

While we have enjoyed our relaxing morning, we are really looking forward to the first show of the tour in a couple of hours!

Check back again for updates tomorrow when we will be crossing the border into Colorado for shows in Wray, Longmont, Fort Collins, Denver, Loveland and beyond!

Don't forget to check out the pictures!

Colorado Bound!

...well...via Nebraska!

That's right, Ashleigh Caudill & Narrow Gauge is about to set off on a colossal tour taking us through Nebraska and Colorado for the next two and a half months!

James and I spent the day in Asheville packing, interspersed with picking and playing with the dogs while Ashleigh and Matt tried to rest up in South Carolina for the night driving shift. Now, here we are at 10:55pm eastern standard time and about to take off!

Check back for updates!!
