FLASH!

Three Hour Tour is back in the studio!  Singers Diana and Terry Alvey are lending their voices again to the band. Look for a possible show in the coming months!

MESSAGE FROM PAULA:
Well, try as we might, we can't stop the forces of change.  After 13 years, Three Hour Tour is disbanding this summer, as Julie Riffle moves to Maryland and I move on to other things.  It's been a wonderful experience.  We would like to profusely thank our fans, who have stood by us since those dark days of one-string guitar solos and abysmal drum-pounding.  We would also like to thank everyone who has stood onstage with us as part of Three Hour Tour.  Our goal was to learn how to play music while also sharing the roots and history of rock and roll with our fans.  We hope we accomplished that.  

Dream Gig:  The National Anthem at the Giants Game!!!!

Three Hour Tour sang the National Anthem and the 7th inning stretch ("Take Me Out to the Ballgame") at the Giants/Diamondbacks night game on Thursday, July 8.  We hope we looked good on the Jumbotron.

The Final Show

The Zebulon show was a real winner.  We played our sweet pop songs in the first set, thinking that the kids would go home after that.  But they didn't.  In the second set we played all the hard-driving rock and roll we had stored up in us, and by the end, the kids were leading the grown-ups in some wicked dance moves.  Thanks eternally to young Josh, who made the night.  We also did something new -- after sitting around drinking for an hour or so after the show ended, we decided to get up again and play some more.  Dina Munsch sat in, and we blew away the 8 people who were still in the place.  Then we butchered some old chestnuts.  What the hell.
