I’m not much of a New Year’s resolution kind of guy but I would like to start the new year with some news and some plans. And then what I would love from passionate listeners. The first issue at hand is to introduce you more or less formally to the band.
Elliot Turret (lead guitar), Tom Galella (drums, vocals), Matt Moran (guitar, vocals),
Leif Pederson (bass, vocals), Kelly Irelan (vocals, keys)

We added Slam Shut to the set list. I wrote it a few years back and have played it off and on live. In fact, I played it with a house band in Arizona and that is what prompted me to put my band together.
A couple years ago my son hitchhiked around the US. He chronicles some of that journey and its spiritual impact here. While dropping him at a bus station I saw a young lady getting off or on a bus. Bus stops seem to be hard luck story breeding grounds so, although I only saw the young girl briefly, I started filling in back story.

Yes, you see it in the side-bar. I’m sending out FREE CD’s with a sampling of songs from last year’s CD, Girls, Songs, and Other Delusions. And some of the songs we are recording now. |
You have to take at least 2 and promise – pinky swear – that you’ll give the extras to friends, family, acquaintances, etc..
And while you are at it, considering signing up on the mailing list or joining the Facebook page.
Finally.. if you want to help us with mailing out these CD’s – use the Tip Jar in the right column. You set the amount. Thanks!!!

| I remember when I first read about house concerts. I did a quick search on YouTube and found Kevin Montgomery. Kevin does the “50 States in 50 Days Tour.” I reached out to him to find out how he got into the house concert circuit. His answer surprised me a bit at the time but upon reflection and with personal experience, I see his wisdom. |
