NEWS

Jim is currently preparing for a trip to Nashville for final overdubs on the tentatively named Tailights, a solo-based acoustic album with guests: Lou Bocciarelli, John Gardner, John Mock, Mike Derry and others. Tailights is scheduled for release in the Spring 2025.
Jim’s lastest book of fiction, The Gecko Traveling Circus is also scheduled for release in the spring by Loco Dare Publishing. This is his 6th published collection along with his novella, Black Narrows. Books are available on amazon.com and at Bank Square Books in Mystic CT.  www.jameswainecarpenter.com

The CarLeans have taken an indefinite break from recording and touring. Sarah MacLean has moved on to start a solo career.  She will be terribly missed. We wish her well and apologize to our fans.

The Hoolios are looking forward to busy year. We welcome the addition of the infamous Doc Westchesterson on keys, accordion, and vocals. He will be joining us when not on the road with Willie Nelson or Bob Dylan.
Recording has begun on Bombogenius, a horn-heavy album of Jim’s latest compositions. Look for a single of Candy to be released soon featuring the maestro, Bill Halloman.
