Keeping busy this summer...
What a summer this is going to be! Boss Tweed has decided to stay on this side of the Atlantic to play o' so many shows with o' so many projects! First and foremost, Carolyn, Gerard and Eric just finished recording the first three songs of Carolyn's new solo project, which are available for listen and download via her website. In addition to playing with this project, Carolyn and Gerard have also been traveling around as a duo, playing original jazz and blues tunes and classic covers. There's also Carolyn's Patsy Cline show, Carolyn Sills & The Poor Man's Roses, and Gerard is now playing bass with the fantastic Brazilian guitarist Joao Erbetta... and if this wasn't enough, you won't be able to resist the already infamous insane-o bearded spaghetti western surf rock trio, Los Beardos Raviolis...

New Year, New Projects
2009 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the members of Boss Tweed. Everyone is currently in the studio working on Carolyn's solo project, and we hope to post new tunes from that soon. Carolyn and Gerard are now playing duo shows in the New York area and beyond, featuring new original music plus classic jazz and americana covers, with Carolyn on vocals and Gerard on the Gretsch guitar. You can read all about that project, and Carolyn's solo stuff, at Carolyn's website. New Boss Tweed tunes are in the works as well, so keep checking back for more updates and tour dates.

Boss Tweed back from Canada, eh?
Canada was amazing... the people, the drives, the mountains, the elk and the poutine. oh my goodness, the poutine. We are currently planning on heading back there in 2009.

Boss Tweed to head west... and then north and back east again...
We had a fantastic tour of Europe in July and early August... played a ton of outdoor festivals and clubs, venues made out of castle walls for crowds of rowdy bikers and excitable children... we highly recommend checking out that part of the world - Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia... beautiful countries with great history and kind people... plus they love to rock. We will post some photos soon, and in the meantime we are putting the finishing touches on our September tour of our neighbors to the North! Boss Tweed will be touring Canada for most of September, plus a few dates in the Pacific Northwest... we're slowly posting the schedule on our shows page, so keep checking back for more dates.

Carolyn does Weed
Carolyn entered Showtime's Homegrown Humor Contest this month... the contest was to rewrite the theme song to the show 'Weeds' (Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds) and film a music video to go along with it. With the help of filmaker extrodinaire Keith Putnam and Gerard's guitar stylings, they created the following on a Sunday afternoon at the Boss Tweed headquarters.

Boss Tweed is headed overseas for the first European tour. With 27 shows booked over 28 days, the band is going to cover as much ground as possible, playing Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Poland and points in between.
