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:

Beside Ourselves about Savannah Stopover

Only two weeks until the Savannah Stopover Festival! Check out the calendar of all the sparkly touring and local bands and buy your passes now.

If you pass one of the hard-working festival staff members on the street, shake their hands and give them a hug for bringing so many great indie bands to our weird and wonderful city.

And don’t forget to come out and see Dare Dukes + the Blackstock Collection share a bill with Jon Lindsay, Saturday, March 12 at Civvies. All-ages! (RSVP on Facebook.)

Jim White, Aficionado of the Found

Below you’ll see Jim White, producer and aficionado of the found, recording improvisations on his homemade bell-box contraption for “Simon Says.”

Thanks to Jim, who’s producing it, the song has finally taken on a life of its own. A few months back I was toying with the idea of leaving this song off the new record, because an arrangement was eluding me. What we did this weekend was lovely, thanks to Jim, Suny, Andrew, JoJo, and Liz.

My Middleschool Dream

If not for braces, I would’ve played the French horn in middle school. Instead, I had to play baritone. Liz Hartin made a dream deferred finally come true today. Here she is tracking French horn on “Simon Says.”
