It's August!

Hey RVA (and world)!!

Hope everyone has survived July without melting, and that y'all's A/C units work a bit better than mine! It's time to get everyone updated on the goings on of your favorite brass band. To start off, I want to take another opportunity to make sure y'all know we've got a new record coming out on October 1! The tunes are recorded, and we're working on finalizing a track listing and sending it off to mastering and press. Don't forget to buy it on vinyl!

We just got back from a quick trip to Asheville, NC for a wedding hit, plus a gig at the super-cool Pisgah Brewing Company. If you go down there, get the Pale Ale! We had a great time sampling all the beer, playing an awesome show, and eating some fish tacos. We spent the night before hanging out with Grant Green Jr, Ike Stubblefield, and Yonrico Scott at a downtown Asheville spot, Mo Daddy's. Our last day was amazing for two reasons. First, we had a No BS Brass mini-golf tourney. Lance, David, and I were the first 3 finishers respectively. The second, is we might have set the record for spending at Taco Bell. Lance successfully navigated the Meat Wagon through the drive-thru at 2 AM, then we ordered 3 Bell Grande meals, plus an assortment of other stuff to the tune of $45. AMAZING!

Anyway, here's a rundown of the month to come:

We play at The Camel on August 13. Aaron Williams's band, High Noon opens up. Be there!

We are heading to Camp Barefoot for a couple shows both on our own, as well as playing with Murphy's Kids on the 19th and 20th.

We return to RVA for BEST FRIENDS DAY 9!!! Our favorite day of the year!!!!!!

August 26th is Balliceaux for a classy evening.

That's all for now folks.

We love you,

Dillard and No BS Brass
