So, to coincide with that, we are celebrating by releasing a digital only deluxe version that will include a few acoustic versions of previously released songs. Just got out of the studio doing vocals on these versions and it\u2019s just really cool to hear them like this. I\u2019ve sung these songs a thousand times but I love what we did with them stripped down. Hopefully you will too. Should be out for sale in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s next&#8230;well, needless to say, we can\u2019t wait for this tour. First up&#8230;Florida. We are so lucky to have this opportunity to tour. It\u2019s weird because I haven\u2019t given myself a chance to enjoy it yet. I know that sounds strange but if you know me well it makes perfect sense. It\u2019s been so hard getting everything together to do this right. Not complaining. But it definitely drains you. We need to thank all of you everywhere for doing what you do to help us out. Whether it\u2019s by sharing a link, giving us a place to sleep, or the gifts we\u2019ve received, or by donating to our Kickstarter fund, we are just grateful for all the random acts of kindness. It\u2019s very encouraging at times when we thought we weren\u2019t gonna be able to pull everything off. So that it I guess&#8230;airport is calling my name.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to the shows and keeping up with everyone over the next month. Hope to see you all at some point along the way. There are some things to look forward to after the tour as well&#8230;We&#8217;ll be releasing a new song and an acoustic covers EP. They are both included right now as rewards on our fundraiser when you donate. And for what\u2019s it worth to anyone this early, we have already begun writing for the next DFH record.<\/p>\n<p>So thanks again for the momentum everyone. We love ya! -MP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haven\u2019t been here in awhile&#8230;Just thought I\u2019d give a little update on what\u2019s going on in DFH&#8230; If you didn\u2019t know, it\u2019s been a year since the official release of &#8220;The Sixes&#8221;.
