Tripped across this relic from the very first version a Sycamores band bio on the internet, which somehow has survived multiple take-downs. Too much information, or a pleasant midnight ramble from Liquor Lyle’s to the C.C. Club with some old friends? You be the judge. As for that record we started in 2000, well, we spent a few years recording that one. Still needs a few finishing touches. Anyway, we'd love to hear your version of events if you were along for any part of this ride. And we'll catch up on the 2000's one of these years. I move to the Twin Cities in Spring, at the suggestion...

It’s that time of year. The tranquil lakes of summer and brief dazzle of the fall colors are distant memories. The shovel now catches, heavily, in the sidewalk seams. It’s time to give “Wintertime” a spin. During the recording sessions at Tom Herbers’ Third Ear studio in Minneapolis for the fourth Sycamores album (still unreleased), we managed to put together a little collection of original holiday tunes which was released as Three French Hens. A lovely little hand-made package from the folks at Rag and Bone Shop, I believe they only ended up in the hands of people I bumped into...

The Sycamores were fortunate enough to take part in the Lyn-Lake Street Fair for several years beginning in 1996. Here is a highlight from the Hagen Auto stage on Lyndale Avenue South, our old stomping grounds. Frank and Dave are joined by Christine Sanguinet on bass, along with pedal steel maestro Jim Johnson. Anyone out there recall this show? This song? "My Blue Collar" is kicked off the debut album, closed this particular show, and remains a staple in the Sycamore playlist.

This schedule gives you a pretty good idea of just how great the local talent was in the Twin Cities back in 1992 – and what a great job Maggie at the Uptown Bar did of appealing to every taste. Luckily she was able to squeeze in the Sycamores in during a week which already featured Freedy, Kevin Salem, Ray & Glover, and the Leatherwoods. The Freedy/Kevin show was a songwriter’s dream. And in case you weren’t there, the Leatherwood shows during this stretch were truly awe inspiring: Brilliant pop originals with great guitar hooks and vocal harmonies. Then Tim O’Reagan would belt out Roy Head’s...
