thought i'd start by thanking all of you who came out to the ramble this year.

it was truly an inspiring and amazing day. we raised over 35,000 meals for families in need here in new england! our team of organizers did an incredible job...our volunteers from local non-profits were amazing...tailgating raged...the jeff conley band, john colvert, and coyote kolb killed it during the pre-amble!

it made me so happy to see all of the buses roll in from all over creation...

and holy crap! chad and sybil coming down from state radio and calling all crows to accept the first annual "golden bus" award was the icing on the cake, making the 2nd annual AEG ramble one of my favorite shows ever!

i'm honored that I have such incredible people in my life...band, friends, family, crew, and fans....

THANK YOU!!

Hello from the van! Writing to you as we drive from Atlanta, GA to Roanoke, VA on the last leg of our southern swing...

We are so excited to announce that the recipients of the Ramble's first annual "Golden Bus Award" for community activism through music are Chad Stokes and Sybil Gallagher! Chad and Sybil will be joining us at the Ramble to accept this award for founding one of our favorite organizations, Calling All Crows!! Read More About Calling All Crows

Both of Chad's bands, Dispatch and State Radio, have tirelessly dedicated themselves to activism through music. Soon after State Radio formed, Chad and Sybil created Calling All Crows, an organization dedicated to mobilizing musicians and fans to empower women around the world through service.

At 6 PM on Sunday, April 17, at Showcase Live in Foxborough, we will be taking the stage, and at some point during the concert, we will be presenting the award IN PERSON to Chad and Sybil. We are honored and humbled that they are able to come out and support us!! We can't wait!

Every dollar donated from the Ramble will provide 7 meals for families in need here in New England through Feeding America. Our goal is to raise 35,000 meals!!!
