Festival of the Arts is this coming weekend and we're excited about getting back to work after a little hiatus.  The Mines are fortunate to have received a prime performance slot: Friday June 6, 8:00pm at the Clock Tower Stage (that's on the corner of Pearl and Ottawa in downtown Grand Rapids). We would love to have you there.  It kicks off our summer schedule which now includes the opening night of the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck and Music on the Mall in Kalamazoo in July.

Here are the details for this week's show:

Open for Business
Current mood: rejuvenated

Dear Friends, the mines have always been horribly bad at selling stuff, and I promise we will continue to thrive in that way for many years to come.  We play music and write songs and can hardly be bothered to worry about the practicalities of making money.

But, well in the interest of getting people the stuff they demand -- especially those of you who don't make it to Grand Rapids that often but still want stuff -- we've jumped into this wonderful internet thing full force -- noticeably a little late -- which by mines time, is right on time.

So without further ado...

The Mines Store:  www.theminesonline.net/store/

Dig in!

The same goes for our email addresses so if you are used to contacting us that way please change the end from .com to .net, such as

To The End...

Well friends,
 
One more Friday night at the Black Rose this week.  This will be our last show there -- at least in the forseeable future.  It's been fun, but it's time for us to move on to other venues.  Please join us for this "farewell show" of sorts.  We've invited back our friends Simien The Whale (www.simienthewhale.com) to get the night started off on the right foot.
 
Here are the details:
 
        Who:  The Mines w/ special guest Simien The Whale
        Where: The Black Rose (
www.blackrosegr.com)
        When: Friday, February 15 (music starts at 9:30pm, we hit the stage at 11pm)
        Cost: $3 at the door
 
And make sure you mark your calendars for Friday, March 28.  We'll be pulling the covers off our latest "experience" masterpiece -- and introducing our brand new cd that night! More information coming soon, including ticket information -- just keep the night open.
 
See you Friday!
