We have a lot of fun shows coming up this summer, head on over to the Shows Page to see what’s going on. Next up… Casa!

We had an absolute blast playing at Charlie’s Red Star Barn this weekend… thank you Jared so much for having us out and for the amazing hospitality!

Thanks to William McFadden for the wonderful photos!

Our set at Casa on Saturday was a total blast and it was fun to debut some new songs for old friends who made our day by coming and celebrating with us, thanks to Christy and Pat, Tad, Joe, Ginger and Westy, Johnathan, Terry and Mel, Tom, David, Bill, Jared, Chris and Zack, Pete and Meredith, Zeke, Dave, and anyone we left out.

The Come On Come On’s enjoyed performing for the hundreds of shoppers and vendors at the 2015 annual Wellwork’s Winter Gathering! Special thanks to “the Boys of the Hock” for the fine Appalachian music, and of course the Athens Children’s Chorus for the beautiful Christmas songs.

Winter Gathering is the event of the season and you’re invited! Come sample cuisine from Athens’ finest restaurants and food entrepreneurs while kicking up your heels to some hip tunes from local bands. While you’re here, offer your best wishes to our beloved director, Kim Valentour, who is retiring at the end of December after 26 years of dedication to WellWorks.
