'Little Mary and the Tom Cats' take their first road trip together! Thank you to the management and staff of the 'ScootnBlues' in Durango, Colorado for a great weekend (June 14^th, 15^th, and 16^th). The weekend's line-up featured Joe Day on Drums, Tim Mahoney on Guitar, Ron Wright on Piano and Organ, and Lynn Tucker on Bass (filling-in for Scott Wigen).
Special thanks to Durango-area radio station, KIQX. Simone and Candi interviewed Little Mary and Tim Mahoney on Friday, June 15^th, and also played a cut from Little Mary and the Tom Cats' new promotional CD. What a great town! Thank you to the ScootnBlues and KIQX, and especially to all of the Durango music fans who filled the house three nights in a row!

Thank you to the Colorado Blues Society (CBS) for the opportunity to perform at these recent events:

• Denver Blues and Bones - Back Porch Stage; May 26^th and May 27^th.
  On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, Little Mary performed "unplugged" on this CBS stage. Bret Billings (of the HIBEAMS) joined Little Mary, playing dobro-guitar and harmonica. It was also an honor to share the same stage with Ben Stevens, Al Chesis and Rich Reno, A.J. Salas, Bobby Avstreih, Dave Booker, Randall Dubis and Mojo Red (with Jimmy Seville).
• Also, Excelsior Youth Center, May 23^rd . This private event featured Little Mary and the Tom Cats, and a special acoustic performance by Little Mary and Tim Mahoney. This was truly a room full of classy ladies, who love their live music! Little Mary would like to thank everyone for sharing their heartfelt stories and visions.
  To the ladies of Excelsior, "Follow your dreams! And remember to be gentle with those who may not understand you . . .".
