Cindy and Tony Haedt, better known as Leavin’ Page Town (formerly known as Dram Shop Country), recently released their self-titled EP, paying homage to their hometown of Page Township, a small town in central Minnesota. As you might expect, they travel across the country to perform music, likely partially (if not entirely) to escape the harsh Minnesota winters. Can you blame them? As a fellow Minnesotan, I certainly don’t.
This winter, they made their way to warmer climates, ultimately ending their tour in South Padre, Texas. On their journey south, they performed at several writer’s rounds in Nashville, including the Live Oak and the Stillery, before arriving in South Padre, where they will continue to play shows during their visit. They are currently seeking locations around Austin, Texas, to schedule a few more performances before returning to Minnesota later this Spring.
Before embarking on their snowbird lifestyle, they finalized their EP with the multi-talented Greg Huberty, who produced the Leavin’ Page Town EP and also provided the album artwork photography. The cover features the Page Town Hall as its backdrop. Upon its completion, Leavin' Page Town held a sold-out celebratory two-day release party in November at Stones Throw Golf Course.
The Leavin' Page Town 5-song EP combines stories of life, love, loss, and hope through the ups and downs. It features a variety of musical styles, including a ballad and a fun, sassy girlfriend song. Cindy takes the lead on Tattoos and Chivalry with harmonies from Christine Passig, Liz Bernhardt, and Niki Koski. A story of nostalgia and life's adventures, Tony leads on I've Been That Guy, also telling the story of losing his mom at a young age, with the lyric line "Too damn young to say goodbye", Tony explained the vulnerability of the song as "Growing from your past and looking back at how you’ve grown, it's hard to put yourself out there for an audience to hear but it makes a better connection." The debut single Ride or Die lands 2nd on the EP and is complete with a music video.
