COVID-19 has been truly heartbreaking and rough. We hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe. As bars start to open in Texas, we plan on trying to make decisions regarding gigs that make sense for the safety of our band, the bar staff, and our audience. In addition, some bars are not able to afford live music at this time. With this being said, the shows on our schedule will be tentative. Please make sure to check back here or on our FB page for confirmation. </p>

<p>In other news, we are finishing up recording for our brand new EP this week and are VERY excited to share these tunes with everyone.

We continue to add dates in hopes that will be able to perform for y'all, but as of now, all dates are tentative.</p>
<p>The recording of our new EP is also put on hold. However, thanks to technology some home recording can be done to speed up the process of completion. If you would like to donate to this recording, you can do so thru Venmo: @themerles or Paypal: themerles@gmail.com. </p>
<p>We sincerely hope that you and your family are safe and healthy. More updates soon. We love you!</p>
