Norwalk Oyster Festival this weekend!


Please note that Ask Your Mom will be playing at the Norwalk Oyster Festival on Saturday at 6:00 PM (not 6:30). Please take this into account when making travel plans.

We are playing naturally in the Heineken tent which should make for some refreshing tunes! The weather is expected to be as spectacular as this past weekend so wear your shades and your sunblock.

For more information about the whole festival, visit the Norwalk Seaport Association website.


Norwalk Oyster Festival

After a blistering set at the 2007 event, the organizers have asked AYM to return to the stage in the style of triumphant, conquering heroes. Or something like that – the contract had beer spilled on it.

Ask Your Mom will be playing in the Regional tent (as opposed to the Puppet Show tent) at 6:30 PM on Saturday September 11. More information to come as they fax it to us.


NorthStar 4/29

Ask Your Mom will be appearing live once again at NorthStar on Thursday April 29 from 9:00 PM to ’round midnight. Rub elbows with local celebrities and the guys in Ask Your Mom too.

The Ask Your Mom store is also open for business.

PS April Fool (the Bonnaroo part – the rest is legit – just ask Matt)


Snow? What snow?

Snow? What snow?

We think the weather hysteria is just that: hysteria. If it snows – it snows. You people live in the New York area…you can handle anything. Pack an extra pair of gloves and if you wear boots make sure you bring your dancing shoes to Route 22.

It is going to be crowded so get there as early as you can. We start at around 9 PM but if you want any hope of getting something to eat, make a reservation (914.765.0022) for 7:00 or 8:00 or you’re gonna wait…

Ask Your Mom


Ask Your Mom is back at Vintage November 1!

Ask Your Mom is back at Vintage November 1!

Space Cabbage is once again allowing us to share the stage with them for their annual Halloween gig. This is the third annual show we have played with these guys – not quite sure why they keep asking us back. The first year we played with them at Lucy’s in Pleasantville and last year we were with them at Vintage.

If you have not been to Vintage Bar – it is a great place on Main Street in White Plains. A word of warning: last year it got very crowded very quickly. Ask Your Mom goes on at 8:30 so we suggest getting there by 8:00 and getting your groove on. This year is an 80s theme so get out your spandex and skinny ties and do the white girl dance.


Weather Update

Weather Update

According to the Seaport folks who organize the Norwalk Oyster Festival, the show must go on until someone says otherwise.
Long story short: at this point (almost 1 PM EST on Friday) we are still scheduled to go on at 6 PM tomorrow. We are playing in a huge tent with sides that has been up for at least a day or two so the ground won’t be terribly wet. If the organizers cancel our time slot or reschedule us (not likely) we will send a note to everyone via Constant Contact.
If you have any information or suggestions for alternative venues, please feel free to contact us.

Norwalk Oyster Festival

Hey Everybody!!

Ask Your Mom is playing Saturday at Norwalk Oyster Festival again! The event takes place under a big tent (we are in the Harp Tent) so bring your dancing galoshes because it looks like rain. We are playing rain or shine and only lightning or thunder will stop the show.
Come check out Derek’s sweet new guitar and meet Matt Brotmann who is kind enough to grace the stage with us on Saturday.

Norwalk Oyster Festival September 6

Ask Your Mom’s (mostly) triumphant return to Norwalk Oyster Festival September 6!

Thanks to our good friend and drummer John Trumpbour, we are playing the NOF again this year. A better time slot and hopefully cooler weather. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts a cool and wet September so it is a good thing we are playing in a tent.

Our time slot is 6 PM on Saturday – a couple hours before headliners the Oak Ridge Boys take the main stage. No, we will (probably) not be playing “Elvira” despite Azzy’s efforts to the contrary. So bring your family and your dancing shoes/boots to Norwalk, CT. We’ll be in the Harp tent.

We are trying to grow our mailing list so if you know folks that might be interested in Ask Your Mom, send them to the site.


North Star 4/29

Greetings Ask Your Mom fans! The band will be appearing at North Star in Pound Ridge, NY on Thursday May 15 at 9 PM. We have played this venue several times and it is starting to feel like home – which is nice. North Star is pretty small so we suggest getting there early for dinner and staying for the show. The food is great and they serve Captain Lawrence beer among other drafts.
