By Marcella Simien
Our East Coast Tour kicked off this week! This is an extra special trip for us. Our debut performance in NYC will be at Joe's Pub this Sunday 7/14 and we wanna see YOU there. We are honored to be opening up for the legendary reggae band Third World on the Atlantic City boardwalk next Wednesday 7/17! Just had an amazing first show in Exton, PA. We are super excited to join our dear friends in the Boston area today at The Fallout Shelter. We have an all-star Memphis lineup: David Cousar on guitar, David Mason on drums & James Godwin on bass! It's one helluva lineup! Our band manager Matt Anderson has been helping us with the driving. Mom (Cynthia Simien) and our new agent Eric Hanson have been working tirelessly to make sure everything goes well. It's truly a team effort! And I am so grateful for this incredible team I've been lucky enough to join me this 12 day journey.
