TSTS hit the Maine coast on Wednesday August 19th, in picturesque Belfast at a music and arts venue called Roots and Tendrils:

Local band Tree by Leaf began the night by rocking the house with a rousing set of previously released songs and new compositions from their upcoming album. Absolutely check out this Christian-based band led by singer-songwriter and lyricist extraordinaire Garrett Soucy. The band features beautiful and haunting vocals by Garrett's wife Siiri, and powerful and eclectic accompaniment by Cliff Young on keyboards and Eric Sanders on drums.

Mike and I then presented a 50-minute TSTS set to an enthusiastic response, followed by excellent and engaging conversation.

Thanks again to Garrett for inviting us to perform, Meg and Bub of Roots and Tendrils for hosting the show, Read Schuchardt for setting the wheels in motion, and the good people of Belfast for coming out on a sweltering night for some R&R societal critique. We're hoping to hook up with Tree by Leaf, Meg, and Bub again on our next trip to Maine, possibly next June in conjunction with the 11th annual Media Ecology Association convention in Orono, if not sooner.
