We’re playing Extended Single release shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Kung Fu Necktie in Philly, and Rock N Roll Hotel in DC . But what’s so special about an Extended Single, you ask? We’ll tell you.

The Prodigal Daughter Extended Single will feature three brand new solo songs, one by each of us, ala the Black Vessel EP, 2010. The material will be available only through a digital download code that you’ll find on the back of a hand screen-printed poster or a postcard, with gorgeous artwork by Jonathan Schoeck of the Boston band Larcenist. New music in a new format for a new era.
