We would like to make it known that we are seeking new and interesting pieces of music to add to our repertoire. We are looking for pieces that cover a wide range of styles, from sacred/gospel/spiritual to doo-wop to children's music to satirical/funny to contemporary/jazz. If there is anyone out there who has an original arrangement, or would like to create an original arrangement that they would like for us to perform, we'd love to hear from you.
Thx,

Post-Christmas Blues
Now that the busy Christmas season is past and life is returning again to somewhat of a normal state, there comes the typical post-Christmas emotional let-down of sorts. We of MC6 were so busy this past December that the month simply flew by! We averaged 3-4 shows each week from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and now that Christmas is over we're not quite sure what to do with ourselves!
First and foremost, though, we want to thank all those who made this past holiday season such a success for us. We released our debut album at the beginning of December, and we'd like to thank Richard Talbot, of Talmage Studios and Euphony Sound Studio for helping us put the album together and get it ready in time for the holiday release. The CD has been a smashing success and we are very proud of what we accomplished in creating it. Now, if we could only sell more of them....
Special thankyou's go out to Darin & Jennifer Hughes for inviting us to open for Jon Schmidt at his annual Christmas concert. Thanks also to Jon for agreeing to share the stage with us for the night. He's a great talent and it was a real privilege to open up his show. That was a real treat for us.
We'd also like to thank the Desert Club Christmas Idea House committee and the LDS Temple Christmas Lights Concert organizers for allowing us to perform at their venues. It was a lot of fun to be a part of their events, and the crowds were awesome.
Lastly, we'd like to thank our many loyal fans who came out to see us perform, often multiple times. Your energy and enthusiasm are what make performing so much fun!
As we head into 2009, our focus now turns to getting back to and polishing our non-Christmas repertoire, as well as working on some new material. We have designs on producing a new album in the not-too-distant future featuring a collection of sacred hymns and spirituals, so we're starting to gather material and funding for that project as well.
May the new year bring you all much peace, happiness and success. Keep an eye out for our upcoming events, and come out to see us when you get a chance.
