The Next Show:

We're gearing up to hit the road next weekend to make the trek up to Bethel, Maine for the 5th year in a row to play for our friends in the Parrot Head Club of Maine at The Sunday River Ski Resort. This year we've minimized the work and maximized the party time with two shows on Saturday. We start the day on the main outdoor stage at 10am and play till noon. Then we get the evening party started in The White Cap Lodge at 8pm. Visit sundayriver.com for more information. This is always a top notch Parrot Head event every year so join us. Hit the picture page at piratedreams.com for pictures from years past.

Memento Still Going Strong:

Our debut disc "Memento" is still going strong at piratedreams.com and other sites such as CDBaby.com, Napster, Rhapsody, iTunes and now Amazon.com. New Folks are discovering our brand of Trop Rock all the time and apparently they're telling their friends. Thank you for buying, enjoying and spreading the word about Pirate Dreams. We appreciate it. Look for new tunes this summer.

Visit Our Friends:

In our travels we've come across kindred spirits that are just as devoted to spreading the gospel of Trop Rock as we are. Visit their sites, you might find something you'll like.

That's about it for this issue. Enjoy the weather and keep in mind that we don't get that much of it up north, so take advantage of every day.
