The CD is finished!!

Wow! We thought this day would never come. We have been working on producing a CD for so long now, I can hardly remember when we started! But, at last, the long-awaited LP is complete.




We finished mixing the tracks last night and sent them off for mastering today. That means we should have freshly minted CDs in hand by Thanksgiving, and just in time for our Holiday concert schedule. Woo-hoo!

We are working now to set up a way to order a copy via this site. But until then, if you are interested in securing one of these "hot" items, just contact Jackson at the email address listed in the left-hand column and we'll shoot one off to you in a hurry. You can also pick one up at any of our live shows this Christmas season. Keep an eye out for upcoming live events!

Desert Club Christmas House

We are very excited to announce that we have just confirmed our booking at the Desert Club Christmas Idea House Preview Gala Dinner and Auction to be held on December 4th at Stonebridge Manor in Mesa.

Desert Club, founded in 1946, is a non-profit women's service organization providing scholastic scholarships to students living in the East Valley and community grants to non-profit organizations serving women and children. Currently Desert Club has 45 active members and 112 "life" and "sustaining" members. Since 1958, Desert Club has hosted the annual Christmas Idea House where over the course of three days events are held at one or more beautifully decorated luxury homes. All of the proceeds from these events go to scholarships and community programs. Over the past fifty years, Desert Club's efforts have raised nearly two million dollars. Their website is http://christmasideahouse.org/christmasideahouse.htm.

The event is a class act and is a great way to get involved within the East Valley community during the holidays. We are pleased to have been invited to entertain during the Gala event.

Christmas album update

OK, so we have finished the recording process. We're so glad to be through that part, as it really is the hardest aspect of producing an album, although it's a lot of fun, too. It involves a lot of long, late nights singing the same song over, and over, and over again until we get it just right, or kill each other, whichever comes first. The close proximity and late hours lend to a bit of horsing around, but you have to keep it light or you'll simply go nuts! I can still hear those songs in my head and we finished in the studio 2 weeks ago!



Here's Jeremy showing us how it's really done!




Paul gets especially giddy in the studio. He really likes microphones!



Try falsetto, Dan!


The tracks are now in the mixing stage, and we plan to send them out for final mastering sometime within the next 7-10 days. It being a Christmas album puts us under the gun a bit as these need to be printed and ready for sale by mid-November. Keep your fingers crossed! More updates to come, so keep coming back!
