I had the pleasure of hosting the Brownchicken Browncow Stringband as they passed through Golden, Colorado on their national concert tour last month. The newest member of the band, Miss Kat Fountain, is a dear friend of mine from back home in Connecticut. The crew needed some new shots that included Kat so we took these outside of my house. To my great joy, they suggested a moustache pic (above). That's when I knew we would be great friends. Matt, the bassist has already crossed over to the dark side so there was no reason to put an instrument over his face.

These fabulous people and musicians were a joy to have around and our home was full of great food and great music in between their shows. I could tell you who plays what, but they all play about 15 instruments, thus the wall of sound next to the van. (By the way, they are raising money to replace the van, "The Predator," on Kickstarter. Check it out and throw down a few bucks if you have it to spare! It'll help them get their kick-ass music to a town near you.
You can listen to their music here:
The moral of the story is... if Kat, Xander, Orion, Matt & Justin ask if they can crash on your floor for a few days - do it. You will be repaid grandly with a full belly and a full heart. Come back soon, guys!
Orion cooks up a mean dinner. (Mean in a good way).
