The Boys in the Band in TEXAS
As mentioned previously, Andy and family are in Texas for a few weeks as his daughter gets ever-closer to having her first baby.
Bobby will be visiting his bandmate in Texas this week.
Recording sessions, photo shoots and maybe some video work are on the agenda. It should be a remarkably productive week upcoming.
Your Input – Your Blues Name
This week, the sky is the limit. The thread is open, the subject matter is boundless, the restraints are eviscerated. We turn it over to you, Treasonites!
Got something you just need to say? Need an outlet? Have an opinion on anything? Feel the need to vent? Just want to say hi? Want to share a big event? Want to share an overwhelmingly positive comment about the band? (Wait… did we just think that or TYPE that?) … whatever, the floor is all yours.
We’d love to hear from you, whatever you have to say.
Hit that comments section hard!

Come Join our PRIVATE Facebook Group!
As mentioned last week, we have launched the official Elm Treason Facebook Group “The Uptown Q!” It’s a private group. By invitation only.
And yes… we are inviting you.
To be clear, we will still be running our “regular” Facebook page.
But this group will be MORE interactive, more personal. It will have far less people as members compared to our “regular” page… and you WON’T miss a post from us if you don’t want to.
Once you’re in, check out the WELCOME VIDEO, grab yourself a WELCOME PACK (if you like) and say HI in the welcome thread.
Hit this link and click the “JOIN GROUP” button. We will respond within a day – often within minutes.
