1994

sometime in the summer of 1994 brian and matt started playing an acoustic gig every friday night at the Village Inn Tavern in Lenox, Massachusetts, thanks to Shelia

1995

continued every friday at the village, sometime during the summer we started hosting a wednesday night open mike that ran till the end of our time at the village. we also did a one night stand at a restraunt down the street from the village on a saturday night during the summer. we had the whole place dancing, everyone had a lot of fun, but being a restaraunt and not a bar, we weren't asked back...

1996

we added nelson and matt b to the line-up. it got a little messey here... nelson told sheila she had no honor, she moved to california (not as a result) kevin took over as bartender of the village, the village got new owners and they told us we were too loud to play there, so we had to go get another gig. so we played a bunch of open mikes at various places, and:
