MIGHTY MANATEES MEET BORIS GARCIA! - Thanks to everyone who came out to our recent show at The Sellersville Theater. Here is a clip of the grand finale jam with both bands playing together:

Thanks to Chris Cafiero for the recording.

MIGHTY MANATEES GO TO A TROPICAL RAINFOREST! - It's true! We leave a week from today! And who can blame us? I hope to write a song down there so I can say, "Here's a song I wrote in a tropical rainforest..." Thanks to Doug White for the arrangements.

Stay warm,
