Happy New Year from Ask Your Mom!

Happy New Year from Ask Your Mom!

As a wrap up of 2008, we’d like to highlight a few events:

January 31: we played at NorthStar in Pound Ridge, NY and got a ton of people out despite the rain

May 15: NorthStar again! What is it with these people? Do you think they keep asking us back because they like us or because our fans drink like fish?

September 6: despite our best efforts to the contrary, the Saturday portion of the 2008 Norwalk Oyster Festival is rained out by Hurricane Hanna. We soldier on an play a private show for our wives and kids in our rehearsal studio. Matt Brotmann also joined the band at this point and we are glad to have him on board.

November 1: we weren’t concerned with it being All Saints Day and neither were the people that came to see us at Vintage in White Plains with Space Cabbage – what is turning out to be a yearly ritual.

December 4: final show of the year at – you guessed it – NorthStar! Ladies night is certainly good to us.

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.
