Stephen's also been invited to play
at some of the Alligator Farm's
Member's Night
after-hours events!
If you have an annual pass, make sure to come out
for their next event on April 25th to witness the amazing night-song
these animals sing to accompany Stephen's tunes!
And if you don't have an annual pass, get one!

Back at our workshop,
we are busy with our "Sense-sational"
children's interactive science exhibit
for the City of Ocala's Discovery Center.
We've framed, faced, primed and painted the flats,
laminated and mounted our polystyrene foam blocks,
and we've started carving our sculptures!
Our exhibit is opening July 6th!

In the meantime, Homegrown Music Network
has been distributing our new album,
Midnight Gardener!
We're so stoked we were invited to join this
"shared collective of people, independent jam bands,
live music venues, and businesses working together
to make the independent music scene stronger."
We are now streaming on
Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Pandora, etc.
and our profile is up! Check it out!
