Christmas in Steeltown
A week or so ago a group of Hamilton musicians got together at Vibewrangler Studio to record "Sing Merry Christmas" a new christmas song by The Caretakers. The song is available for free download here and all proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, to support AIDS research. The Mississippi Kings all played on the track as well as Tom Wilson, Jesse Lewis and many others. Check out the tune and let us know what you think.

Website Update
Some of you contacted us and suggested having a donation button on the site. We listened. There is now a paypal donation button here, for those of you wishing to donate. There is no minimum donation and please don't feel obliged to give. We gave away the album free for a reason, a gift to all our fans.
Bear with us as we get the website fully up and running. We're hoping to make the news page more of a blog format with an RSS feed as well. If you have any other suggestions on how we can make the site better just email us.

Corktown Madness
Thanks to all those who danced the night away at the Hamilton Music Awards after-party. We pulled up at the Corktown at the last minute for a surprise set and I hope you all had as much fun as we did. For those of you who missed it, The Mississippi Kings did a two hour set of originals and rock n' roll classics. Big thanks to Tom Wilson and Tim Gibbons for joining us on stage for some tunes.
Cheers,
Mike
