The End Is Nigh...

Well, for those of you who keep track of things on Facebook.... (or those that know us personally)... this may be old news. But for those of you not in the know, (or who would like a little more info), our little band is going on an extended hiatus after our upcoming (and final) show on Friday, September 2nd at McMenamin's White Eagle.

First of all, I would like to clear the air on this a bit. 

This wasn't one of those super-dramatic "we've been doing this for X amount of years and we haven't made it yet, so let's just call it"-type situations. On the contrary, we were actually seeing a good upswing - more specifically, an offer from the fantastic booking folks at the White Eagle to curate first Thursday nights, starting in October of this year.

Also, it was really never about trying to "make it" for us. We just wanted to play nice venues for folks who might dig the songs we wrote. 

But as life has a habit of doing, when one door closes another one opens... (or insert whatever lame anecdotal phrase you might prefer here________________________________)... 

And in our case, several doors opened all around the same time. Along with the White Eagle offer, there came several fantastic "real world" job offers for at least two of members, and an impending move for myself out to Walla Walla in order to complete my doctorate. Thus, a 3.5 hour drive weekly for band practices became a pretty unlikely possibility.

So, we all had to make the grown-up decision to put Hutson on an indefinite hiatus after one last show.

It's as simple as that.

Second of all, as this final show is coming up pretty quick now, I, (and the rest of the band, of course), would like to thank everyone who has ever come to our shows, bought our albums, or simply just listened to our songs. You've all been an integral part of why we continued to make music and play shows, and your support and good vibes have been greatly appreciated by all of us in Hutson.

So once again... Thank you! 

So, let's make a night of it at the world-famous McMenamin's White Eagle Saloon next Friday night, September 2nd! We'll have our friends Benson Jones opening the night for us, and then we're going to play all the "hits" and some new ones for you guys - and it's going to be a fantastic way to say goodnight and good-bye.

The only thing we're not going to miss is our sweaty-stanky practice space at Audio Cinema in the dead heat of the summer... Cheers!
