That's right!  I'm saddling up with Sara McAllister and our good friend RUCA to play for the Boys and Girls Club Telethon in Bisbee later this month.  I'll be doing my solo thing as well as rockin' the upright in the Sara McDuo.  While we're at it, we're playing the historic (and I'm fairly certain haunted) Bisbee Grand Saloon Saturday night. 

The next morning we're setting up camp at the Screaming Banshee to underscore their Sunday brunch.  I hear they've got some sort of eggs benedict pizza....mmmmmmmmmm.  The Banshee is by far my favorite dining spot in town.  We'll probably pop over to the Bisbee Brewing Company for a pint afterward.

So if you're already in Cochise county, come and party with us!  If not, then make some road trip plans.  Need recommendations on where to stay??  Email me and I'll give you the low-down (anamieke@mac.com).

To celebrate the Centennial, I wanted to give you a free track from my EP. It is called &quot;Bisbee&quot; and is very close to my heart. Bisbee is a magical city in Southeastern Arizona, on the border of Mexico in Cochise county. It's a couple hours beyond Tombstone on the historic Highway 80, and used to be the biggest city between St. Louis and San Francisco back in the Gold Rush days. Built for copper mining, known for turquoise and now a haven for artists, Bisbee holds a special place in my Arizona heart. Here's a song about me, where I'm from, where I'd like to be, and the state of Arizona. Enjoy! (The picture is of Monument Valley, another iconic spot, but it's on the NE corner of our sweetheart state) <a href="./discography.cfm">&quot;Bisbee&quot;

Hope you're all enjoying the Autumn as much as I am. We have lots of sweet outdoor shows coming up to make the most of this beautiful AZ weather.

As you know, I am a solo artist who also plays in a full band (Treasurefruit) and moonlights on the upright bass in the Sara McAllister Duo. This newsletter serves all three acts, and we appreciate your support, no matter which band you originally signed up for.

Thanks again for reading and spreading the word.

See you out at the next show
