Thank you, we won!!

Dearest Hot Clubbers,

Thanks to your enormous outpouring of support and enthusiasm, we are thrilled to announce that we did indeed WIN in both categories at the Ameripolitan Music Awards last month--Western Swing Group 2015, and Elana won for Western Swing Female 2015.

We are truly honored to win these esteemed titles (!) and there is NO DOUBT who we have YOU to thank--our rarefied, devoted, beautiful fans. Thank you all so very, very much! It's inspiring to be recognized for doing what we love, and for being able to make a living playing music and bringing joy and a great show to all of you around the world...wonderful. Thank you.

Next up, a tour of the Southeastern USA starts this weekend in Franklin, Tennessee (Friday) and Atlanta, GA, (Saturday), plus three shows with Asleep at the Wheel at the Savannah Music Festival (read about it here), and a final show with Asleep at the Wheel in Durham, NC.

Also, Elana will be playing a show to celebrate the release of Black Beauty on Friday, April 3, in Austin, and Hot Club of Cowtown heads out again to the northern Midwest in April to Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio.

Finally, our latest Mountain Stage radio episode will begin broadcasting in the USA on March 27. For air times and stations, please click here. The following week, our set will be featured at NPR music.

As you know, all our tour dates are visible on our tour dates page and also listed below. And there's always the gift shop, where our website elves are happy to help you with anything Hot Club your heart desires.

Happy spring and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Sincerely,
Elana, Whit & Jake (and Eva)
