This song was originally written by Allen when his father died some years ago. We dedicate this (rough) recording from last night (Tuesday 5.16.18) to the memory of Michael’s father Charles William Rohrer. Michael, we are all grateful that your dad’s death was peaceful and filled with music. When We Let Go (allen kitselman) May the […]
We are super pleased and excited to officially announce our upcoming show in Richmond on June 30th (a Saturday) at the Tin Pan. We’ve played the Tin Pan many times, and absolutely love the venue. Great cocktails and live original music, what’s not to like? Here is a poster for the show designed by April […]
By now you know that we have 11 songs queued up for recording in the studio. Right now we’re busy getting them “compiled” into muscle memory even as we change the arrangements around on some of them. We are having a total blast doing that. We’ve been working hard as a band. Anyway, we thought […]
Well well well. Turns out that the Bitter Liberals have 11 new unrecorded songs in the pile. You know what that means, right? Time to get into the studio and record them! We are having a great time in the new configuration, and our writing has been deeply influenced by our killer new Bitter Liberals […]
So much for the first day of Spring! You may recall that we call Bitter Liberals band practice “musica” so that we don’t have to say “practice.” By any name, there was none due to an actual real snow storm.

Woe is us. CD Baby just informed us that they have too many copies of our first CD 13 in stock and they want to send some back to us. Bummer! You can help eradicate this untenable situation by ordering a copy of 13 for yourself from CD Baby. Use THIS LINK. You do need […]
Special thanks and whatever post-facto bribery is necessary for our friend Keith Patterson who wrote a great review of our recent SOLD OUT show at the Bright Box for the Clarke County Observer. We have so much fun playing these shows, that we almost forget to pay attention. You can read the review (and share […]
Rumor has it that our band is named after a cocktail. That’s at least partway true. Our “band cocktail” is called the Liberal. You can even see the Liberal represented graphically on our stickers. The only challenge with the Liberal is that it requires something called Amer Picon. Nobody imports that into the United States, […]
Briefly spotted at a hot pink tourist trap somewhere way down south, Clark Hansbarger, Bitter Liberals songwriter and guitar player has disappeared from Castleman Road. Fortunately Clark took his guitar. All we can hope is that when he gets back he brings the band a bunch of new songs. (Surely, we don’t need any more […]
There are two secrets. 1. You can already get tickets for our early summer Richmond show at the Tin Pan here http://bit.ly/BL-tinpan18. We love playing the Tin Pan. This week one of our favorite performers, Aimee Mann, played there. Here’s what we had to say about that on twitter: Pretty cool to know that @aimeemann […]
