A Show, A Podcast and some Videos walk into a bar...

We have a free all ages show at Bear Mountain Ski Resort this Saturday. We play from 3-7pm. Also we made an original jingle and "Right Right" was featured on an awesome Phish related podcast "The Philler". It has become one of my new favorite podcasts, and we should be featured with an interview sometime in the future. You can listen here: http://www.mixcloud.com/robertchampion/the-philler-episode-seven-msg-2011/ Also we threw up a video of "Me and My Uncle" a Grateful Dead cover we did for the Dead Covers Project. Its from a show in San Diego a couple years ago. Do us a favor and give us some Thumbs up's. It's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zluq-Uak874 We have a video up for "Catch a Day" another song on the album here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOiT6t16RVk&feature=youtu.be Thanks for your support and good vibes, Soul of the River
