Greasy Cuffs Song Tour: Zak Kirwin, Jamie Matson and Sasha Pearl are on their bicycles, with guitars, ukes, toy xylophones and tambourines in tow, circling around New England playing their sweet music, unplugged. Regularly solo performers, they have joined together for this tour to form one collective band, Greasy Cuffs Song Tour, taking turns as lead. Their first show is in Hudson, NY. Then they are gearing up, getting their thighs tuned up to ride, and taking off for a three week tour to Albany, North Adams, Brattleboro, Montague, Northampton, Boston, Providence, and ending in Zak's stomping grounds, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This tour is to promote love of life, and how music can inspire a good work out. They will be sweatin’ it out old school, up hills, across bridges, and parking their bike's in your mom’s driveway while they take a shower.
