Dear Friends,
What kind of gentlemen would we be if we didn’t offer you a free taste of our newest record?  A gentlemen always offers a taste on the house, does he not?  Below, you’ll find links for two free MP3s from our upcoming album, Drip Dryin’ with The Two Man Gentlemen Band.

Dear Friends,
Most of the dates for our Winter 2009 “Drip Dry Your Troubles Away” Tour have now been finalized.  Visit the schedule page for details.  Don’t see your city on our route?  Let’s remedy that!  Local music venue & house concert leads are always appreciated.  Send your ideas (e.g., Hey, you gents would sound great at Jimmy’s Music Bar in Eastville, Montana) to twogentlemen@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do.

And now, we invite you to observe the fun that awaits you at a Two Man Gentlemen Band concert, including… The highest vocal notes ever achieved by a two man band!

and Shadow Puppetry!

Oh, goodness!  Thanks to the immensely talented, and quite lovely, Mrs. Andy Bean, for capturing The Gents in action.

Yours most affectionately,
Andy Bean, Gentleman

Dear Friends,
We gents are pleased to announce that our fourth studio album, Drip Dryin’ with The Two Man Gentlemen Band, shall be released on January 14, 2009.  That same day, we will commence our 2009 “Drip Dry Your Troubles Away” Tour, during which we will encourage all comers to drip dry their troubles away.  Complete CD ordering info and tour schedule will be available here shortly.

‘Til then, why not enjoy this video of The Gents at the 2008 Philly Song Shuffle @ World Cafe Live in Philadelphia?

Yours most cordially,
The Gents

Dear Friends,
A small note on the upcoming recitals listed below:  If you are in possession of one, we encourage you, friends, to bring your own TMGB brand or generic kazoo(s) to this round of Two Man Gentlemen Band concerts.  We, of course, have a fine helping of kazoos in the gentlevan at the moment.  But, we fear that we may be a bit short by the time we reach Knoxville, unless those kazoo-rich gentlemen enthusiasts among you don’t lend a hand.  So,  do your part, friends!   Recycle!  Re-use your kazoos!  And we shall reward your virtue with song.

Yours most affectionately,
Andy Bean, Quartermaster
The Two Man Gentlemen Band

Dear Friends,
It is perhaps worth noting, friends, that this Saturday night will be The Two Man Gentlemen Band’s last performance of the year in our beloved home city.  It is thus, dear New Yorkers, your last opportunity to see the 2008 version of the gentlemen (our best version yet) in person.  The performance will take place:

This Saturday Night, November 15th
Jalopy Theater
315 Columbia St, Brooklyn, NY
$10 Admission
Ukulele Chanteuse Kelli Rae Powell @ 9pm, Gents @ 10pm
All ages welcome.  Beer & Wine bar on premises.

We’d be delighted to see you!

Kindest Regards,
The Gents

Dear Friends,
Here are two gentlemen in matching pants.  This modest achievement has been 3 years in the making (1 year of saying, “Hey, we should wear matching pants!”, 1 year of searching for the appropriate two pairs of matching pants, 1 year to have them tailored just so).  Well worth it, don’t you think?

Thanks to our pal, The Snowshoe Rabbit, in Chattanooga for the picture.

And, Gentleman Andy Bean will perform a short solo recital with banjo and voice this Thursday, Oct 30, in Brooklyn as part of the Al Duvall “Recluses, Unite!” CD Release party.  10pm at Pete’s Candy Store.  Myriad other wonderful performers will be performing.  And it’s free!

With very kind regards,
The Councilman, Primary Bass Person
The Two Man Gentlemen Band

Dear Friends,
We’ve just been added to a wonderful show Tuesday night in NYC.  It’s the 3rd annual Serious Business Records CMJ showcase at Piano’s (158 Ludlow St, NYC).  The Gents play a short set around 9pm.  Then The Councilman plays electric bass with Higgins and Andy Bean plays electric bass with the Unsacred Hearts.  Electric bass, indeed!  And it’s free!

Yours vert cordially,
The Gents
