The Starlings: News

Our current personal ad: A few shows here and there, finishing the album, delayed European-radio launch, new radiator, our producer's wedding, fresh beets from the garden, corn on the cob, walks on the beach.

Hey folks, thanks so much for making our Spring tour such a good time. We enjoyed every stop, met some beautiful, funny people, and with each passing mile enjoyed the privilege of playing music on the road. See you next time! Check out myspace.com/thestarlings for blogs and more.

Pulling anchor this morning for spring tour '07!

After 5 months of planning, booking, confirming, coordinating, and fudging, it's time to hit the road for real. Jack Quick (bassist from our debut "Songbook") will be joining us for the trip, which makes us super happy. We hope to see you at the shows, check out the tour itinerary. We'll give updates from the road on myspace.com/thestarlings. Cheers!

We're in the process of changing websites/hosts, so keep checking back as details are updated.

We appreciate it all.

It's been a nice little break since the August tour. We've got a few shows left for the year and quite a few new songs. We'll be hunkering down and preparing for the next album, stay tuned!

Time to hit the road...starlings take flight on August 18th and return on the 26th. We'll be hitting San Francisco, Nevada City, Davis, Portland and other fine towns. Check out the gigs and if you know folks in those areas, please send them out to see us! Thanks for your continued support.

We return to a couple great shows at the end of the month. The first is Monday, August 28th - a benefit at The Tractor Tavern to raise money for Darcy Burner's congressional campaign.

After that, join us at the Nectar Lounge with our pals Pelusa on the 29th.
