Mama Sweet

First up, "The Lost Ogle" a famous local blog has been showing some love to Mama Sweet. This week, they did it again. They named Mama Sweet the #2 best band in Oklahoma (that hasn't made it yet). The list included some pretty big names and we were second only to Hosty and how could we argue with that. Check it out yourself at:

Also, we are now on Pandora! For those of you who haven't played around with it, Pandora Radio (pandora.com) is one of the cooler free music discovery services out there. You enter in artists or songs you like, and it uses something called the Music Genome Project (a HUGE database of songs, analyzed by Pandora employees and tagged with various attributes) to play similar music for you. Lots of people use it to find new artists. Anyway, thanks to Whitney getting it submitted back in January, Welcome to the Well has gone through the Music Genome Project analysis process and is now in the database (They only accept about a third of the albums submitted to them for inclusion, so this is really cool for us!)! This means people who punch in artists or songs that have similar musical characteristics will get Mama Sweet coming up in their streams, and will be able to buy the record through iTunes or Amazon. You can also start a station based on us, or one of our songs in particular - just click "Create a New Station" and type in "Mama Sweet" or the name of one of the tracks from Welcome to the Well.

As for this weekend, Thursday we are going to be in Eufaula, OK for Chaos at the Cove along with Roger Clyne, Kevin Fowler, and Dierks Bentely. Gates open at 3pm and we go on at 4pm. Check out www.wormydog.com.

On Friday, we along with good friends John Fullbright and Gabe Marshall great acts like Ryan Dorman and Jeff Hobbs will be celebrating the 4th of July at the Muscle Car Ranch in Chickasha, OK. We will be blowing up the ranch. Check out: http://musclecarranch.com/100_3427/poster.jpg for more information.

Have a great and safe (return with all your fingers and limb) weekend!
