The RETURN of the Farmer’s Markets June 12th!

YES! We love the Farmer’s Markets. I don’t know if you know this. But now you do. We will be there most weekends this summer, into the fall. And we’ll certainly be there THIS Saturday, June 12th! And we will be playing playing playing all day. So, if you happen by our get-up/set-up, feel free to give us a smile and a wave, and if you’re bored, stop for a moment and listen to four folks doing what they love to do. We’ll have CDs for you to take home!

As always, taking place at Pioneer Park (300-400 West, 300-400 South) 8 am-1 pm

With love,

Bramble

Back from Tour, and playing in the Pride Parade this week!

Wow! Our tour was a great success. We met hundreds of rad folks, who, if you’re reading this, you know who you are, and thank you for introducing yourselves and talking with us. It makes us all feel really good to know that we’ve just made a good impression. We’ll be back out again I’m sure, later this year! Check out the pics at the bottom!

ALSO! Now that we’re back, we’re jumping right into it with playing this Sunday morning at Salt Lake City’s fantastic celebration of being Queer, The Annual Pride Parade! We get to play on the float for the Downtown Alliance, or so it would seem. So if you’re feelin loose and fabulous, come down to the parade and see us toy with our amplification setup and dance as we roll along! Should be ridiculous if nothing else. And hell, Bramble was founded on ridiculousness. Love you, bye!

Resting nowadays

Thank you all very much for making our tour so much fun, and to the folks that showed up to James’ house, The Temple of Doom, on March 4th to welcome us back. You all are fantastic. We are pausing for a few weeks before we take off to go play at our friend Shane’s house in LA, called the Pool House (I wonder why?). As always, feel free to hit us up and say hello, and if you want our album, it will be forever available through the link above!
Love,
Bramble
