Often, the intersections of artist, audience, and expectation can get confusing and difficult. We are humbled in knowing we have shared stages and spaces with titans of our art form, but ultimately we know the only shoes we can fill are our own. To those amazing people who've tread before us, thank you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 -the Angels

It was such a wonderful weekend! We had great crowds, great sets and we got to see some of our favorite folks who made the drive up to West Virginia. Thank you so much, Michael and Cindy Aident for your encouragement and support (and BB1’s favorite doll), Frank and Terri Arch for the enthusiasm and Aviana’s first tail 😄, Britta Miller for hanging out with us and being so fun, Vreanie Calhoun for her second trip to WV from our home Faire CRF who always brings the smiles and brightens up the day, Brandon Coalter for sharing our anniversary with us and the joys of new parenthood...and last - but certainly not least - deepest gratitude to George King, Taylor Ross, Sean Bryan, Vira Shill, and Wvasco Eciese for spending the whole weekend up here before Peter’s deployment this week - it means more to us than we have the words to express. Fun as it is, performance is a tricky way to make a living and we couldn’t do it without the encouragement and love from you all! Sláinte! 💚☘️💚
