Summer continues to be totally awesome for us. We had a great time playing in New Brunswick and Baltimore, and thanks again to everyone who came out to both shows.

Also, it's not official yet, but it looks like John and the Chorus of the Saws have set the new world record for largest saw ensemble!

On top of all that, we're headed out for tour in August! Here are the details:

July in the Glad Heartland

It's been an exciting start to summer for us, and we are looking forward to the rest of it! Here's what's new with us:

-----------------------------
News
-----------------------------

June tour was amazing! Thank you very much to everyone who helped us out along the way. We had a great time, got to play with a ton of cool bands, and met a lot of people along the way. I kept a tour journal and took photos, and I'll post those to our blog later this summer.

------------------------------
Upcoming Shows
------------------------------

For July, we only have two shows for the whole month, and they're both this coming weekend! We'll be doing one in New Brunswick, as part of coLab's Breakthrough Arts Fest, then driving down to Baltimore for a relaxed Sunday afternoon show at The Waterfront Hotel, a lounge, restaurant, and bar (though not an actual hotel).

In a very special one-of-a-kind event, John will also be playing singing saw in the International Musical Saw Festival in New York City on Saturday, 18 July. He'll be playing in a chorus of singing saws in an attempt to set the Guinness Book World Record for most singing saws ever played together at the same time. We're pretty sure he'll be able to parlay this into at least one free Guinness in every bar he ever goes into for the rest of his life, so please come out to support him and enjoy some really awesome saw playing.

Here's more information on our shows:

Saturday, 11 July
coLab Breakthrough Arts Fest
The George Street Playhouse
9 Livingston Ave
New Brunswick, NJ
Get advance tickets here
$6; 7pm; all ages

Best wishes and thanks for listening!

Cheers,
Ryan
