I'll send along more info. as dates come closer but that's a quick over view! 

On other musical project notes: It's been exciting helping George get his own record label "Bus Biscuit Records"started...The GATO 6 C.D. really is beautiful...I can't wait for everyone to hear it...and I'm almost finished with my own all original C.D. which will hopefully be released in December.
Thanks for checking out what's coming up for us and have a wonderful summer!
