THANK YOU!!!

Thank You's and Final Thought on the Calahoney "Enjoy Your Day Job" Summer Tour...


What a great summer! We feel sooooo lucky to have had the opportunity to play for so many people in so many different places this summer. We KNOW how lucky we are! The business of music can get so convoluted and confusing that it seems easy to forget what the hell the real purpose is. We believe that it's all about sharing good music with people. Sharing a bit of oneself with friends, strangers, family...whoever. If we never get to play another show again (which we hope is not the case), no one can take away from us what we accomplished this summer on our own! Wait, did we say on our own??? Uh...we had help...and it's time to thank a whole lot of people. Take a second to read on at our request to respect and thank the people who made this summer tour possible. No matter if they promoted shows, or just gave us a bite to eat on the way. Everyone of them touched our lives and helped Calahoney complete a successful summer tour! So...


A HUGE THANKS goes to: Amber, our Calahoney UK manager & whip-cracker, and Timme for putting us up at Ealing Broadway through heat-waves, rain, sunshine in the face, and crappy District Line service on the Tube! Nicole, the NY goddess, and Rick for making NY one of our best shows. Calum Pasqua for the amazing violin work and social wake-up calls!!! Dawn, Bill, & Sedona Hutchinson for the awesome support in the Atl. and a unforgettable stay at Chez Hutchinson (can't wait to go back!). Kelly Harden for the e-mail blasts. The Tampa family, Titi Ernita and the weird blow-up mattress. Lou Lozada for the awesome pics. Virginia and Tom in Jax (both ways!) The Askins Fam in Atl. Pops in NC, you're nuts and I love you!! Scott & Karen, Slow Stride mastermind, for opening their new home; let's get to work on the new album! Uncle Donny at the Tratan Club. Julio, Alison, and baby Mateo! Charlie the awesome chef! THE ENTIRE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA for the warm reception (sic)!! The Cefalu family for our Long Island retreat at the compound; your warmth and love was a great send off to Europe. Def Ro, just for caring! The VAGALONGERS (Kevin & Idalis) for inspiration. To everyone who came out to support us and read the blogs and left messages and sent e-mails and just cared about us, it was because of you that we succeeded this summer! Thank you, thank you, thank you and we'll see you real soon!


Love

Calahoney
