Thank you all once again for all the birthday wishes! Always amazed that everyone takes the time each year. And it's been a lot of years for many of you. A happy new years as well! It's going to be the best year yet, I have a feeling. And if it isn't, not much we can do about it anyway.
The Wallflowers will be in the studio middle of January and we couldn't be any more excited. Going to be brief now but we plan to give updates as often as we can once we get started. Stay tuned!
