Band on the Diaper Run

Touring-no toys necessary

 

Cellos cases=lots of fun for short people 

 

 

 

After Loretta Lynn's kitchen, above, Menphis club-Mags loved the wall.

 

Mexican Restaraunts have sombreros and ice cream 

 

Magnolia signs her name and colors a picture on the wall at The World Cafe (where we played a few songs) and sees where she scribbled last time when she was only 2.

 

 Scenic Walk in Little Rock (I think its Little Rock-it really could be anywhere at this point)

 

 June, comfortably and safely listening to live music

 

 

Reunited with old tour mate, Penny.  We toured with the Starlight Mints a couple of years ago and Penny and Mags really hit it off.  When we got to Oklahoma City, they had a playdate.  Then we stopped at their house the next morning for a wonderful breakfast.  And, for the youngsters, a ride in the kid tractor.

 So much to do on on tour, don't even need those plastic toys from home. (except maybe when the rides are too long)

Looks like your girls are having a blast on tour!  Question - what kind of headphones do you have for the baby?  We would like to bring our little guy to Lollapalooza this year, but don't want to risk his hearing.

About the Blogger

Mates of State

Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel

Kori Gardner is the organ-playing half of the band Mates of State; her husband, Jason Hammel, plays drums. Known for their vocal harmonies and euphoric melodies, Mates of State has been described by critics as "unabashed joy", "honesty at its best", a "two piece with balls", and "a band that you must see live." Their daughter, Magnolia, was born in 2004 and started touring with the band at 10 weeks. June, their second girl, was born early this year. The whole family is touring the world right now. Hear their latest album, "Re-Arrange Us" at www.matesofstate.com, or myspace.com/matesofstate
