Feb. 12th, 2009 we took off on our first ever Northeastern tour!!! We had an absolute blast. We thought we'd take some time out to make a blog showing some of our SUPER MYSPACE FRIENDS we met along the way! Linda We met our dear myspace friend Linda, our angel! She drove down over 2hrs to meet us and see our show at Cornerstone Coffeehouse (Millennium Music Conference 13 Showcase in Pennsylvania). Linda & her sister, Mary also stayed at the hotel room next to ours. Linda played a prank on us and we laughed so hard. We had so much fun with Linda! She kept us laughing! She's the best! We call her our angel because she is always leaving us the nicest comments and messages of encouragement. She even held a fund raiser supporting The Redheads!
Linda & us after we played at Cornerstone. The picture below is the three of us hanging out in our hotel room!
Mike
Our Myspace friend Mike had tickets to go see Willie Nelson the same night we played Cornerstone, so he went the extra mile and got us a gig at Cuppy's Coffeehouse so he could meet us! Mike and his precious wife, Kay greeted us with a large bag of the orginal chocolate kiss which are called Wilbur Buds! Those chocolates were so good - we'd have a handful every hour on the road! They also treated us to an incredible lunch. We can't thank them enough for their love, support and helping out us starving artists!
Mike & Kay with us! The picture below is us standing on stools trying to be taller than Mike!
John
John is a new myspace friend. He had just added us a few days earlier and came to see us at Cornerstone. Then he also journeyed out to see us again at Cuppy's! During the soundcheck we sang the song "It's a Heartache" just for fun and found out it was John's favorite song so we were honored to include it in our set and dedicate to him, our wonderful new friend! How sweet is that to come to two shows and John was so complimentary to us. He made our day!

Matt
Then we traveled up to Connecticut and met our longtime myspace friend and street team leader, Matt. It was awesome! We met many wonderful people at the Walmart store Matt works at. Connecticut was full of love and laughter and very special memories. Since we are big huggers we hugged everybody! Then we went off to Matt's house and met his wonderful family and played a house concert. It was blast and a memory we will treasure forever!
Below are pictures with Matt and the other people we met at the Walmart store & also pics of Matt and his Family.
We finished up the tour at the prestigious Maxwell's NJ Songwriters Night in Hoboken, New Jersey. We performed with three other talented and famous songwriters. The event had a superb sound engineer and great acoustics in a venue full of serious listeners. When we performed it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop while we sang our songs. There were two rounds where each songwriter played two songs each and we were fortunate enough to get to close the evening with such an incredible audience. Maxwell's is so cool and we are honored to have joined such an impressive line up.

We brought back memories we will always cherish and hold dear to our hearts! Thank you all for making this the most memorable road trip of all time for The Redheads!

Ladies, this is a wonderful blog and it looks like you had quite an adventure. For Kay and me, it was an absolute honor to get you the gig at Cuppy's and to treat you to lunch. After seeing Willie and Asleep at the Wheel and The Redheads all in one weekend, it was one of our most memorable weekends as well. Please be sure to let me know when you're planning another trip through the area, I know a coffeehouse that I'm pretty sure we can get you into ;) As for the rest of your trip, I'm not sure who is more blessed you or your My Space fans. Peace, hugs and safe travels, ..Mike and Kay
