Fam,
We did it! Having hit our goal 20 days in, we are blown away by your outpouring of support. We can not begin to express how deeply touched and humbled we are by your belief in us to make this album.
If you have any friends who you think might like to support the cause, please share the link below with them. Facebook & Twitter work too for all you social media savvy cats out there:

For the next couple months we will continue to work on demos at our space in Chi, finalizing arrangements...
That's right folks, we are gearing up to record our sophomore album! We are using Kickstarter to help raise the necessary funds to get this baby off the ground, and we'd like to invite you to help us make this a reality. There are all kinds of levels of participation, from simply pre ordering the album, to free shows for a year, and more! If you have any friends or family that you think will dig and want to help, please send along!
Donate here!
We are pleased to announce we will be playing our third year in a row at the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival at Congress Theatre January 28th. A look back: In 2010 with the help of our amazing fans, we won the Last Banjo Standing Contest and earned a slot on the main stage at Congress Theatre. Last year, in 2011, we opened up for Corey Chisel & the Wandering Sons at the Double Door.
It with great sorrow that we announce Joey’s departure from Great Divide. We are extremely excited and proud for Joe as he will be moving to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, studying the law of this here union. (what a hipster)
Not to be confused with Houston product, famed Louisiana State University star fooballer Joseph Addai, Joey was with the band since day one, kicked a lot of ass, and will be missed. Best of luck to you brother, we will follow you into the mists of Avalon.
Some of our favorite Joey moments:
