We hope everyone enjoyed their summer and avoided work as much as we did. And now that the season is behind us we are making big plans for the fall. Big ones. Starting with a tour that takes us across North America a few times. That’s right west coast lovers, we’re coming back for you… and everyone else in between of course, starting with a show this Wednesday, September 18 in NYC at Sullivan Hall. We are still adding shows but for now, see our tour schedule.
Next fun fact: Caravan of Thieves (that’s us) will perform the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s album in its entirety later this fall, caravanized of course. We will debut on Oct 30th for our Mischief Night Masquerade at World Café Live in Philly, PA and Oct 31 in New Hope, PA at the New Hope Winery. Sure, we’ll throw in a few CoT faves afterwards too, no problem. And if all goes well, we hope to keep performing it after that, maybe bring it to a city near you…?
Last but not least: We just wrote, recorded and shot a video for a brand new song, think we’re calling it “Dead Wrong.” We don’t want to say too much more about it right now but you can start to imagine what that might look and sound like. More info (and the song) coming soon…
And so far it’s been nothing but love (with a few all-nighter shindigs) this summer. Frankly, it’s kind of a blur. But in the end, seems we’ll have lots of new ideas, fond memories and a few black lists we’ll need to be removed from… all in a day’s work.
One thing we do remember from this summer was our fun session at Daytrotter in Rock Island, IL. It was on our way to Summer Camp Music Festival so we stopped in, recorded some new songs, some classics, then we jumped in the Mississippi River. They just posted our set so check it out!
And glancing forward, the rest of the summer and fall tour do look exciting with the journey taking us coast to coast and as many in between stops as possible. Lots of new songs, some we’ll play in the shows, some we hope to release this fall, maybe make a video or two? Time will tell. And we are considering covering another artist/full album on this run, hmmm, perhaps at our Philly World Cafe Live Halloween Freakfest? Ideas are welcome so if you’d like to reply, post to our Facebook, Twitter, etc, we’ll be looking out. In the meantime, we’ll see you at one of these shows we’ve arranged for us to all be at, so browse the schedule on our tour page…
Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian

Over brunch and cocktails this morning, we’ve decided this is shaping up to be quite a summer. Not only are we excited about all this new music we are getting ready to hurl your way, but we have several new shows to announce as well. Take a look at our tour page and come join us for some freakin’ summer fun, starting with these fine shows this weekend: Friday, June 14 in Stafford Springs, CT at The Palace Theater, Saturday, June 15 in Bennington, VT at the Bennington Center for the Arts and Sunday, June 16 in Burlington, Vermont at Signal Kitchen… bring your dad!
Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian

After being back in New England from our dashing and fully stimulating spring tour, we have learned that we only need the simplicities in life: something to sing, something to eat, and something to throw rocks at. Once we get in a groove though, several days can go by and ten new songs, twenty sandwiches and two dented walls later, we begin to feel good about ourselves here. And with an exciting summer tour schedule ahead to unleash some of this recently acquired creative energy, and plans to get into the studio to make a new album, things are feeling mostly sunny…with a slight chance of delirium. But on an entirely serious note, we do think you’ll like what we did with the place (and the new songs) so browse the dates on our tour page for upcoming shows in some of our most beloved northeast venues and the awesome outdoor concerts and fests we’ll be performing at around the country. That way we can all meet up for a shindig or two, eh?
