Now you know there is gonna have to be a party, a really BIG one to celebrate three lustrum of the harmonically inclined duo and their new record. Keep an eye out....

 

JUDE has landed a band gig harmonizing and shaking that famous tambourine with The Silvertones.

The Midwest's newest purveyors of hippie country and rootsy folk rock are known for their sweet harmonies, chiming 12 string guitars, lapsteels and clean electrics. Get out your dancing shoes cause the Silvertones are rockin' in the free world.

 

Welcoming Jude to the band are Minneapolis transplant Barry Wightman (vocals, guitars, mandolin), Milwaukee veterans Rick Walters (lead vocals, guitars), Mark Peterson (vocals, drums), guitarist Giles Colahan and bassist David Partrick.

March 2007 

I'll be your server. The website was down over the past weekend due to some server issues (it needed cheesecake or something). But now everything is back. If you were caused any inconvenience by this event...have some cheesecake.

 

February 2007

Jude is back from performing at the Wise Women Conference. The annual event was held at a beautiful resort and spa in the sunny desert of Palm Springs California. 

 

After the conference Jude stayed at the resort and treated herself to a few extra days of being a rock star. The itinerary; sight-seeing, shopping, a manicure, massage, In and Out Burger, more shopping, swimming in the warm mineral water pool, sipping white zinfandel poolside, basking in the sun on gloriously balmy 80 degree days, filet mignon .... Ah, yes a woman could get mighty use to that kind of life.

 

Meanwhile back in that booming metropolis known as Milwaukee, Tom was enduring 30 below zero temperatures - was that with or without the wind chill? Awww.... Now you know why they called it a Wise Women Conference! 

 

Here's a little tour of Jude's paradise:
