Happy New Year, Flugelfans! 2014 was a blast. Papillon/Blueport Jazz released Sagebrush Rebellion, our tenth CD, to great response. We traveled 50,000 miles, spent 200 nights on the road, played 125 shows and made lots of new friends. Thank you for your support, which makes it all possible. Looking ahead:
