Happy Friday, everyone!
And it is indeed a happy one, since Josh and The Royal City Band fiiiiinally took flight through a sky clear of volcanic ash and into the arms of Ireland!
There's more news about that, the shows, the new album, and free music to be had.
Speaking of the new album, we hear there's a low-quality leak of the album criss-crossing the internet right now. *Sigh*. We hope everyone will listen to So Runs The World Away in its high-fidelity full splendor. Or, actually, our friends at NPR.org will be streaming the entire album starting first thing Monday morning!

Thanks!
