About Me


SHOWS.
The shows that we have booked are the only ones we're doing at the moment. So come out and see us!
If you want to check out my other band you can do so here -- AMERICANA ROMANTIC . If you like the acoustic type stuff the Thugs did, then you might like A.R. too. (i've been known to play thugs songs live from time to time too :)
Last but not least,we decided that if you have a pinkerton thugs thugs tattoo you can get into any of our shows for free ;)
seriously, just message us before the show so we can put you on the list and flash your tattoo at the door!
