Ditty Bops coming back to St. Louis

The Ditty Bops aren't on a cross-country bicycle trip this year, but that isn't stopping them from coming to St. Louis this summer.

The Ditty Bops -- Amanda Barrett and Abby DeWald -- will be performing two shows Aug. 23 at the Mad Art Gallery, 2727 S. 12th St. in St. Louis, the same place where they performed last year during their Bicycle Tour The first show is at 7 p.m. and the second is at 10 p.m., and tickets are available through Metrotix. Tickets at $15 in advance and $17 the day of the show.

This year's tour is billed as the Farm Tour, in which they are raising money for local farm organizations, The Growing Connection and Farm Aid.

I had the pleasure of meeting Amanda and Abby last year and rode with them from the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge to Edwardsville, Ill. But regular readers of the blog will remember what happened when I attempted to ride back home. I hope to meet up with again this year. I took the photo of Amanda, left, and Abby while they were riding on Madison County Transit's Quercus Grove Trail in Edwardsville. You can see more photos here.
