Album Update #2 - March 31st - It's mixing and mastering time! Still lots of work to do, so we've started pre-sales of the album to help raise funds for printing, PR, etc. Watch the video we made for our campaign with IndieGogo to see how much fun we've had recording, and to order your copy of 'Bridge of the Sun'!
Album update, February 21 2013 - We have 12 songs recorded, and have had some great sessions at McGill's MMR and StudioA and Pollack Hall with Duncan and Brandon recording guitar, violin, vocals, cello, french horn, drums, electric bass, piano... This weekend we will be in the cozy country Hutchins studio in Vermont with The Bombadils !! They bring with them their amazing talents on mandolin, fiddle, bass, guitar, banjo, and vocals (flute to be recorded later;)... So after this musical weekend, the album should be 90%+ done!!
