Oh My Goodness! Summer Tour!
Thank you so much to all of you who made so many swell suggestions for a new Smittens moniker for our newest member, Emily! Some of them were hotly debated at Smittens HQ and some made us double up with laughter, we even got a number of good one`s from Emily`s mom! In the end it came down to Spunky or Sweet and we let Em make the final decision so now we are very happy to introduce you to Emily Hilliard; the Sweet Smitten!
As you know, we have been working extra hard on our next album and doing a few extra things on the side as well – we recently had our song It`s a Saturday! come out on a fantastic comp from Durham, NC`s 307 Knox label and will have a new song called C`mon! (when the grass grows tall and green) on a bees and honey, themed comp from Italy`s My Honey label in the late summer/early fall!
Look for us on the road starting on August 2nd! We`re excited to be playing so many new places this time around and we promise to do our best to come back and visit those of you we won`t be seeing this time out as soon as we can.
Here`s the tour schedule:
