July will be a busy month for the band as they kickoff the month of travel to mostly new venues/event with an always highly anticipated appearance at the famed Red, White & Bluegrass Festival in band member Aaron Ramsey's hometown of Morganton, NC on July 2nd.

Then they appear for the first time at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC for a show on July 3rd.

July 4th is a travel day for the band as they head north to Prince Edward Island, Canada for two big nights on July 5-6 as the band debuts at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival. They will appear alongside such superstars as Kenny Chesney and the Dixie Chicks in what is a hugely attended annual festival.

July 7th has the guys catching a 6 am flight out of Price Edward Island, Canada bound for their debut the same day at the Crested Butte Music Festival all the way across the US in Mount Crested Butte, CO. Their show on the 7th is at 5:30 pm so that will be a long day of travel, but well worth it.

July 9th will bring the MH boys to Thermopolis, WY for the first time to appear at the Hot Springs State Park Pavilion for a 7 pm show. The promoter is treating the guys to a well deserved day off of fly fishing on the Big Horn River on July 10th.

The the next day, on July 11th they will debut at the Ridgway Concert Series in Ridgway, CO. The show will also be simulcast over KVNF Radio.

And they wrap the Western leg of the tour on July 12th at the Albuquerque Zoo in Albuquerque, NM as part of their Zoo Music 2013 series. This is another debut appearance for the band there.

They take a few days off and are right back at it with a triumphant return to one of their favs, the Master Musician Festival in Somerset, KY on July 20th. This year they play directly in front of a musical icon, Willie Nelson. This is a show that cannot be missed!

And wrapping up the month they will return to Asheville, NC, a place they have played and sold out rooms in many many times, to play for the first time at the wonderful Bele Chere Festival on July 26th.

We hope everyone near this route will come out and spend time and hear the new music. Its been a while and its high time to catch up!
