the event features food, carnival rides, and
fireworks. It's a great family event for folks
in the Chicagoland area!

every summer the town holds its annual
Dixon Petunia Festival, featuring a parade,
carnival, country concert, fireworks show,
road race, and other various activities.

DEAR
DIARY

June 18, 2008
Dear Diary:
I
wanted to write a quick
post about our weekend
in Nebraska. One of our
shows: the Testicle Festival
and it was awesome! TJ
(the owner Ron’s son)
fed us bull “fries” and,
really, they were ~ ~

CORRAL
CORNER
where it's all about the fans |
This
month's Corral Corner is dedicated
to July’s fan focus: Chase Williams
of Rockford, IL. He came to see TIN
HORSE headline at the Young at Heart
Festival in Loves Park, IL. The way
he won over the band’s hearts: FOOD.
For
the band, summertime means festival
time: lots of outdoor fun, families,
friends, food, and furry animals won
at game booths. Unfortunately, the
band doesn’t always have enough time
to take in all the wonders they’d
like to at these festivals. So on
the night of the Young at Heart Festival,
tempted by all the blinking food stand
signs, Andra stopped fiddling for
a moment and asked the crowd, “Has
anyone tried the funnel cake? Is it
any good?”
Moments
later, during a song, a young man
appeared at the stage with a plate
full of funnel cake! The cake made
its way across the stage to each band
member, and at one point, a game of
“keep away” ensued. The plate ended
up on Caroline’s keyboard, but after
the set was done, it mysteriously
disappeared. It was peculiar because
there was quite a bit of grease and
powdered sugar on Andra’s fiddle case.
After
the show, the band had the pleasure
of meeting the young supplier of funnel
cake, Chase, and his Aunt Jill. He
was just as nice in person as he was
from in front of the stage.
The
next morning we received a lovely
thank you note from Chase’s mother
that said: "I would like to say
THANK YOU for making my son so happy.
Last night my son Chase Williams was
at the Young At Heart with his Aunty
Jill. He’s the young man that brought
you the funnel cake. He was so excited
about last night he had a smile on
his face that I've never seen before.
He is a very shy young man. He loves
music & he loves to dance. So
once again would just like to say
thanks for every moment of happiness
the Tin Horse gave him as a mother
you ladies did a beautiful thing."
The
band would like to thank Chase for
the funnel cake and for befriending
them on myspace.

THE
CHICAGO DAILY HERALD PROCLAIMS:
TIN HORSE SHOWS JUST HOW FUN COUNTRY MUSIC CAN
BE |
The “kindred sisters” of Tin Horse sat down to chat
with Lisa Balde of The Chicago Daily Herald on June
27th. “They talk in a chorus of laughter and sentence-finishing,
piqued by the kind of local success and shared experiences
that seal a band of relationships for life” says
Balde. Two months into the heart of their Horses
Gone Wild tour, the band has spent more time together
on the bus, in the studio or lighting up the stage,
than apart. And it shows!
“The result is large crowds turning out for the
band's summer tour [and] plans for a new album”
says Balde. While Tin Horse has been finishing
work on their EP – “Something Stronger” (due out
mid-summer), the girls are now writing material
for a full length album due out later this year.
Both the EP and full length album showcase songs
which pull on the common thread Andra, Antje and
Caroline share. “The refrain of Tin Horse's recently
recorded "Something Stronger" twangs,
"Your love is like watered-down whiskey,
glass-half-empty, never satisfies me, and it's
wearing off - and I need something stronger."
‘It's (about) a love that's really just not doing
it for you, and we've all, unfortunately, had
that,’ Andra says.”
Tin Horse hits the road again this weekend for
what’s sure to be a foot stomping, rebel rousing
4th of July weekend, then it’s back to the recording
studio to finish mixing their EP. Keep your eyes
on the website for updates!
