Booking

Dare likes to play any place where people want to hear him—living rooms, stadiums, art galleries, derelict strip malls, glitzy music venues filled with trend-setting starlets, fire-gutted churches with free enchiladas. Write STS Booking, and together we will find a way:

Hey, check out the New Noise Dirty Covers Mixtape, a collection of covers rendered by many Savannah bands.  I covered one of my favorite Brian Eno songs, “Some of Them Are Old.”  And I did it all in my attic, with mixing help from the very smart and talented Ryan Peoples of Atlanta’s Oryx and Crake.


Yes Way, Jose

Jose Ray designed this lovely and trip-a-licious poster for my Savannah show on October 20 with Jon Lindsay and Britt Scott.

You Kicked Me!

 

Holy smokes!  You guys are the best.

Not only did we meet our $5,000 goal in our Kickstarter campaign, but we went way over, raising more than $6,200!

Thanks so much, you angels, you.  We promise to make sure our record is worthy of your ears.
