Just back from a really fun weekend in Nicholasville, KY where we performed at the inaugural ‘Downtown Days’ festival. Here’s a little peek behind the scenes. 😊

The Joy Machine keeps rolling on! This weekend we head to Nicholasville, KY for 3 days of shows and then we will be in Sandy Springs, GA at the end of the month. In October we will perform in Largo, FL and then on to Shreveport, LA. We have another potential gig at the end of October but we’re not ready to announce that one just yet. Stay tuned.

On Friday we took 'Joy Machine' to Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, PA. We were excited to do our show in the center of campus but Mother Nature had other plans. About 20 minutes into unloading the truck, it started to pour rain. Luckily we were able to load everything into the Olin Fine Arts Center and do the show on the stage! Many thanks to Margie and all of the friendly folks at W&J for helping us turn this potential disaster into a success!

A few behind the scenes pics from our weekend in Cary, NC for the LazyDaze festival. We performed there last year and were so honored to be asked back this year to help them celebrate the 50th anniversary of the festival. Fun times.

A behind the scenes look at our show in Oakland on August 9. Such a nice event. We wanted to thank the local crew who helped us set up and tear down the show and special thanks to our new pal Magda who was an intern on this gig. Loved having your help!
