This past week, we've been working hard with the band rehearsing for the show, and we've also been working out harmonies for the upcoming record with producer Vic Branco at Iguana Recording. So things are shaping up for a great spring/summer.  Hope to see you Friday.  Get your tickets on our 'concert tickets' page of this site. Love, Stephan & Eric The Clearing

Savannah was an awesome bartender and thanks to everyone who came out to support, we played from 9:30 until 12:30 and stayed 'til the bitter end, pretty darn good for Monday. Now back to preproduction for our new record! &nbsp;We're going to be recording at Iguana Studios with producer Vic Branco and adding some super-exciting surprise guests in July and August. &nbsp;Keep posted for updates and multi-media docu-radness!

October is looking like it's going to equally as rad. &nbsp;We're headed back down to play for our friends in Sarnia at Paddy Flaherty's on the 14th and then we're going to play our first show in Windsor at The Whiskey on the 15th. &nbsp;If you're in southern Ontario or the Detroit area, you should come and party with us. &nbsp;Both shows we'll be playing a good deal of originals and tons of our favourite cover songs. &nbsp;Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all, and have a safe Halloween! &nbsp;See you soon.
