“This project feels ripe for recurrence; we'll see!” - Katie Crutchfield

In her Substack post teasing the upcoming shows, Katie shared that the setlist won't merely be confined to Snocaps' new tracks. Expect to hear gems from P.S. Eliot, Swearin', and Allison's solo ventures, all peppered with excitement for what's ahead. It's an opportunity to revisit the past through their earliest hits while underscoring their evolution as artists. The emotional weight of their past work is echoed in Katie's reflective sentiment, noting, “The old is feeling new.”
