FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES TO RELEASE LIVE ALBUM

"Thirteen years ago, I went to Looney Tunes and found a selection of local independent music that I had been unfamiliar with until I saw it on their shelves. This opened up a new world to me. I was just getting into some of the nationally recognized hardcore bands of the time but I didn't realize there was such a scene in my own backyard. People would leave stacks of flyers by the front door and it became a way for me to find out about local shows. I think a good local music scene is made possible not only by the bands and a decent all-ages venue, but also by a solid indie music store. I'm happy to have done something to give back to a place that helped mold me into the person I am today."

CHUCK RAGAN, TIM BARRY & BEN NICHOLS PLAN TOUR

"The three of us have been in bands that each have their own sound, but I think we're all coming from the same place musically concerning this tour. When it comes down to it, we all appreciate good songs and good songwriters and that's what this tour is all about-stripping everything down to its basic form and playing some good songs with some of your friends. The idea of Woody Guthrie, just a man and a guitar, is very appealing to all of us, and the chance to be a part of something like that with Chuck and Tim is something I couldn't pass up. We all have our own types of songs, but I think it'll be a blast basically sitting around a campfire every night playing music with some friends."

"I don't know what it's going to end up sounding like from night-to-night and that's the coolest thing about it. I don't think anyone is going to know what it's going to sound like until we get up there, but I can honestly say that I'm more excited about music now than I've been in a long time. There's only a few bands that I feel that kinship with as far as personalities beyond music; there's some people where you're like, 'this is my family on the road no matter what.' Hot Water Music and Lucero are two of the few bands I feel that way about. It's going to be a thrill to do this."
