may 9, 2009
howdy folks. sorry it has been so long since our last update. spring is a busy time of year for the trespassers. with the nice weather, wildflowers, swimmin' holes, gardening, work and endless other projects it's hard for us to find the time to sit down at the computer. but alas, here we are.
we played a great show at the tap last night in mammoth lakes. what a fun evening! thanks so much to our friends, family, and fans for the great support and energy.
i have finally updated our calender somewhat. check it out. there are still more summer shows to be added, but the ones in may, june and some of july have been added.
now for the big news! we have finally finished recording our new cd. yeee hawww! it's been a year in the works and we have been working super hard on it the last few months. it is now in the mastering process and we are looking for art for the cover. if anyone has an artwork the would like us to check out feel free to email us. we're hoping to release it at the mobil station show on july 9.
well allrighty for now. hope to see you soon. peace!

greetings. we would like to extend a big thanks out to our hometown community of mariposa and surounding area for the enormous support shown to us at our show earlier this month at the bug hostel. it was incredible. the diversity and energy of the crowd made for such a magical convergance of music and community. thank you mariposa, el portal, yosemite, bass lake and all the folks who came from even further. the next night at the starry plough in berkeley was awesome too. thanks to all the bay area folks who turned out to that show.
finally! an entire high quality live trespassers show available for free download at archive.org from one of our highlight shows. last springs' strawberry music festival performance.
We had a truly enjoyable weekend in Yosemite Valley! Of course we all love to be in the Valley, but the two consecutive shows at the Mountain Room bar were off the hook.
Thanks to all of you who were there, the energy in the room was incredible. Saturday night our sets were upbeat and joyful. But folks were there to hear good music, so the quality was high, too. The dancing started with the first song, thanks to Dave Bainbridge. It usually takes an hour or so for people to loosen up and get a few drinks in there, so a long night of dancing was fun for all. Sunday night was a little less crazy, so we played some new music, some old, some songs we rarely play.... The dancing still started early, and it was fun to entertain a lot of tourists who's never heard us, as well as locals who always enjoy our music.
It was fun to be around a lot of our friends and co-workers, to be a part of a wet, fall weekend with great clouds and colors, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of El Capitan. We shared the trails and meadows with Allen Steck, George Whitmore, Wayne Merry, and Royal Robbins.
So, Yosemite Valley, we'll be back (well, here I am today). Thanks for appreciating our music and giving us your great energy. See you all soon.
