"There Comes A Time, When You Heed A Certain Call..."

We're back and recovering from an awesome interstate road trip, and getting ready for a big event coming up this month on Sunday, July 27th. We'll be part of the Battle Acts for Jack benefit, to help Jack Rubin, an 11 month-old diagnosed with Histiocytosis (LCH). Little Jack has been an inspiration to hundreds of people to donate to worthy LCH causes, blood drives and platelet donations. Battle Acts for Jack brings together singers, musicians, friends and family of Jack’s, along with other members of the community who just want to help cure this rare disease.

It's a great event for a great cause. Jack's a fighter who needs our help. Come on out and show your support, and have a great afternoon of music to go with it. There will be full sets by Dirty Little Secret, Cobrasnake Necktie, Stronger than Dirt, and us, as well as acoustic sets by Susan Lowe and Eryn Shewell.

We had a great debut last week at the Surf City Hotel, so a double-shot of thank-you's is in order. First, big thanks to the Sand Paper of Ocean County, who gave Amethyst a nice writeup in the their recent issue. (Check it out on our Press page.) We had a warm welcome not only from the Surf City regulars, but we saw some familiar faces from Clark's awesome Irish Pub, Molly Maguire's. So thanks to Tom, Tara and crew for spending some of their "down the shore" time with us.

Our "Cruel Summer Tour" continues this week. Come see us do it again for our second and third Fridays at the Surf City Hotel tonight 6/20, and again next week on 6/27. Hope to see you there!

UPDATE 6/24/2008: Okay, make that two articles this week! Thanks to the Asbury Park Press for including Amethyst in their "Leading Ladies rock Long Beach Island" piece. Rock on, Kristy.
