(You might know of us from our time with the Low Country Boys from February 2002 - December 2007. This is what we're doing now)
Right, so when's this album coming out? Well, we've recorded 16 demos and they're sounding okay, so we'll probably refine the arrangements and harmonies a wee bit more. The options are then to either a) take the usual route and book a recording studio or b) try something different - like record them all live in a wee hall somewhere with a single microphone. That might be more interesting, and authentic!
We definitely want to capture a primitive old-timey, lo-fi, mission hall sound, and something that's true to our live sound, rather than some perfectly-produced highly-polished and maybe slightly sterile thing.
Any other dates coming up? Yes, plenty! Full list of Autumn dates will be added sometime soon once we've firmed them up - keep checking back!

(ex Low Country Boys) - Welcome to the Thompson Brothers' blog, by Mark Thompson and Graeme Thompson, founders and original lead vocalists of the Low Country Boys. These days we're doing something similar but simpler - old-time gospel music in the classic mandolin/guitar "brother duet" tradition of the early 1900s. This blog will tell you more about the great brother duets, and other aspects of evangelical rural American culture and its Scotch-Irish / Ulster-Scots cultural roots - and a wee bit about our own music too.
