Dear friends,

We just made it home from our spring tour today, and we’ve already got a lot of great things coming up to keep us busy until the summer comes. Here’s just a few of them:

420 Pool Party


This April 20th, we’re really excited to bring to you the first ever joint production between our own Chinquapin Records, Community Records & Ampersand Events – our first 420 Pool Party!

We’ll be opening up the doors at Club Ampersand at 8PM for your pool party pleasure, then we’ll move then show inside for a set of sweet SOUL COVERS and originals.

This is also going to be the kickoff for Community Records’ Block Party the next day!

[RSVP]

Hey y’all,

Just thought we would share with you all another awesome video of some of the new material we are working on. Remember how we told you we stayed with T, Jono, Ryan & Tamir during SXSW? Well, we shot a video in their living room which also doubled as our sleeping quarters.

Our good friend Colin from Philadelphia has recently been working on a documentary project featuring some awesome artists like Heartless Bastards, Sun Airway, Mates of State, Ava Luna and tons more playing takeaway style versions of their songs. Fortunately for us, our schedules at SXSW lined up just right and we were able to do one ourselves. Check it out. Also, take a look at some of the stills from the video as well below. So honored to be involved with such beautiful work.
