Midwest Motorcycle Event - LIVE! at the Silverdome!!
by Amanda Overmyer on 07/25/10
So, the Fulton Co. fair was a lot of fun, other than the fact that we got half way through the show and then mother nature promptly threw a MONSOON at us and we had to quit playing. Do you want to know what the worst part of it all was? Our stage was set up on a dirt track..what does dirt turn to when it gets wet? MUD! I, no joke, had just that day swept and mopped the bus and it was spotless. With the rain, all the boys tracked massive amounts of mud into my perfectly clean bus! Guess what I get to do tomorrow!?!? But, other than the mess, it was still a blast! Rochester has got some super cool people! And the food there was awesome! Not to mention, we unveiled the new T-Shirts! Everyone loved them, so make sure you get one, they are so cool! So this weekend we have two shows, one Friday, one Saturday in Pontiac, MI at the Silverdome for the Midwest Motorcycle Fest. We will be playing with Jackyl and the one an only David Allan Coe! This will be so much fun I can't even think about it. PLUS - the ENTIRE Overmyer clan will be there. Where there is one Overmyer, there is 20. Come hang out with us, I know we will be having fun! See you there!

Kokomo, IN Tomorrow!
by Amanda Overmyer on 07/02/10
So last night went great at the amphitheater off 43. What a great venue! We should totally do more concerts there....maybe we will (hint hint!) I big thanks to Didiayer Snyder from ABCs Extreme Makeover Home Edition for having us out. Our fellow entertainers Krimzen, Friends of Downtown and all those who came out to support Habitat for Humanity. It was alot of fun!
Moving on to tomorrows show in Kokomo, IN: It is the Haynes Apperson Festival in downtown Kokomo on Main street (between Walnut and Sycamore). We go on stage at 8:30 with two local bands opening first band to start at 5. I am looking forward to this show, I used to work in Kokomo and haven't been back so it will be nice to see the area I used to spend the majority of my time in! So, if you don't have anything to do, or if you do, change your plans and come out to Kokomo to see an awesome Rock concert on your 4th of July weekend!

Summertime....Finally!
by Amanda Overmyer on 05/24/10So I finally got a chance to be out on a motorcycle all day yesterday. It has been absolutely murky dismal outside! I feel like I have been waiting forever for summer to get here. We just played in Texas and of course, the A/C compressor went out so in the dead heat of Texas, there was no air conditioning for awhile. Luckily, we were able to get it in somewhere quickly and get it fixed! Next up, we are headed to Maryland and I am looking forward to that one. I have never been to Maryland! The schedule is filling up for this year, so I am looking forward to seeing everyone. You all will have to help me out if I am at a town near you...bring your friends!! On a personal note, my cat had kittens today. 6 of them. They don't have tails! So cute! Everyone take care, don't forget to keep in touch with me on my Facebook page, I am on there everyday answering emails and what not. Summertime......Finally!
Upcoming Tour Season
by Amanda Overmyer on 04/07/10
Hello all you crazy kids! How awesome is it that we are now looking at spring - Motorcycle season! As I write this, I am looking out at a brilliant thunderstorm cloud and the faint green tint on all the trees! God has blessed us with an amazing landscape, wouldn't you say? Anyway, I am looking
forward to seeing a lot of you again, and meeting some of you for the first time at the shows we have coming up. We will be adding more as the season goes on! I currently have a single we are working on and hopefully will be releasing a new album this fall/winter. We had a whirlwind of a year last year, some good, some bad, with the economy looking the way it does, I am really *ahem* anxious to see how this year goes, but hey, we will do it together! But all in all I can say that the Lord has blessed me with more than I could ask for - I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park! Keep Rockin', Keep Ridin' and I will see you guys at the next city! Here we go! Round 2!
