Big Spike News
Mar. 23: We've posted pictures from our March 5 appearance at the Palmer Street Coffeehouse, including Mike's birthday cake!
Mar. 15: We're pleased to say that we've been invited to appear at this year's Champlain Valley Folk Festival, July 31 - August 1. This is one of the East coast's best known festivals, drawing fans from all over the eastern part of the U.S. and Canada.
Mar. 8: We didn't think the Palmer Street Coffeehouse could get much more crowded after our last appearance there, but we were wrong. They were shoehorning them in! Great to play out again after a couple of months off, and the audience was enthusiastic. We surprised Mike on his birthday with a cake and a chorus of "Happy Birthday". Hope to have some pictures for you soon.
Feb. 26: We're a little late onto the train, but check out our Facebook fan page. Two days old, and already over 100 fans! Why don't you become a fan, too?
Feb. 19: We've come out of hibernation and are ready for our first gig of the new year at the Palmer Street Coffeehouse, 4 Palmer Street, Plattsburgh, NY on Friday, March 5. Our last time here we played to a full house and we were mightily impressed with the acoustics of this former church and with the enthusiasm of the audience. We advise getting there early. We hope you'll join us then.
Dec. 17: Those of you who have attended any of our shows over the past few months know that we've been sold out of our first CD "Cheatin', Lying, Leavin', Crying" for some months. We've had enough people ask us about it that we ordered another pressing run, and we now have plenty more in stock, or you can order them here. We'll have them available at our upcoming shows.
Best holiday wishes to everyone from Big Spike. Please drive carefully and watch out for the black ice! See you all soon.
