We are very thankful for the fine folks over at the Onion Twin Cities A.V. Club, for naming our album, "The Lonesome Road Society" to their "Honorable Mention" list in 2008's "Top 10 Local Albums" report. The company who shares that list with us is historic at the least. It's the honor of our lives, thank you.



Bob Serrano emerged 1150 years ago from the depths of Lake Michigan. Not seeing any land, he meditated to elevate himself above the water until discovered 500 years ago by French voyagers paddling across the lake.



Johan "Sheriff" Stow-well (a.k.a. Payroll, Dooba, Shareef), esteemed alumnus of the Wabash Dudes Young Man's Finishing School, returned North after the heart of a young handmaiden who, herself, headed South seeking adventures where mysteries abound. Upon arriving in St. Paul, Dooba reunited with his old pals in the Marshall-Dayton Gang and returned focus to his better well-being.



Hatpan Sixscrews, banjo, appeared one day in a field of onions. He began humming the familiar tune, "Black-eyed Suzy". The vibrations led him to a circle of like-minded individuals where he was handed a banjo and the funniest looking cigarette he had ever seen.



Tubby Ray plays the same washtub he was birthed into. The broom handle was carved out of the tree that was struck by lightning and fell on his father when Tubbs was 16. Both he and his girlfriend are jealous people.



Go! Fight! Win!!



Neighbors picking on the front porch for friends, friends calling other friends, and a scene is born. We want to play in your kitchen, we want to sing you to sleep. We will play for food, or play for drink. We will move about the set as we see what we want to see: That is what my eyes lay upon. We are arriving at the destination; there is a fire and a fog, there is a time and a place, there is a backyard where everyone is singing along, LOUDRAY will meet you there.
