Boy how time flies….

Can’t believe it was already five years ago that we did our first show as Caravan of Thieves in Fairfield, CT at FTC StageOne on March 22, 2008, opening for our good friends, the Ryan Montbleau Band. Originally booked as a “Fuzz and Carrie” duo show, we showed up unannounced and to everyone’s surprise with Brian and Ben, a whole new set of material, new sound, new clothes and new name, “Caravan of Thieves.” The rest is history…

So in lieu of all this nostalgia, we figured we would celebrate our five year anniversary with a few shows in Florida as well as a few other exciting new shows just added to our tour schedule and with the airing of our NPR Mountain Stage performance starting on the actual day of our anniversary, March 22! Funny how these things happen. Our performance on Mountain Stage was recorded this past December along with amazing artists Robert Cray, Shemekia Copeland and Kelly Hogan. Be sure to give it a listen… we all sang, strummed, banged on a few pots and pans and raised the dead and everyone had a good old time. For a list of stations that will be airing the Mountain Stage performance, click here.

The show is now available to stream from NPR’s online archive here. Let’s celebrate!

Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian

We are packing up our instruments, a new bag of kitchen appliances and junk to bang on, and one small furry animal… and we are hitting the road! We began working on our next album this winter so we will be trying out a bunch of new songs and additions for the show as well as some of the previous “hits.” And this spring we will be celebrating our five-year anniversary on March 22nd, which coincidentally is the date our Mountain Stage performance will air, so tune in or just come out to celebrate with us.

On our way down the Eastern Seaboard, westward to Colorado and back through the Midwest, we’ll be snapping pics of the best dressed freaks at our shows (not including us) and posting the best of the best on our Facebook. Cast your vote for whoever’s dressed the most elegant, inspired, and, well, freaky to be our “Freak of the Week!” Stir up some fashion ideas by perusing our past Freaks of the Week on Facebook.

Check the schedule to find out if we are in your neck of the woods… because as we like to say, run away from home and join the Caravan!!!

Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian
