The Gift That Keeps On Giving!

Hi all! I know it's not Black Friday yet, but I imagine a lot of you are already thinking about what you're going to get your friends and loved ones (and maybe yourselves!) for Christmas this year. This is never an easy task, and in this economy it can make us even more anxious.

Never fear! May I suggest a gift of the MC6 debut album entitled Christmas? It's chocked full of traditional holiday classics (such as White Christmas, Let It Snow, and Sleigh Ride) and fun new Christmas songs (He Is Born and Candlesong) that are sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. You can even preview a few of the album's songs by clicking on the player in the left margin.

You can order a CD (or two, or three...) right here on this very website. Just scroll down a few clicks and you'll see, on the left-hand side, "Purchase MC6's First CD!". Simply select how many you'd like to buy, then click "Buy Now" and you will be redirected to a PayPal site where you can easily complete your order.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of our album will be donated to the Phoenix Childen's Hospital, and we are proud to partner with them in raising funds for improved healthcare for children.

Also, be sure to come see us perform our Christmas set live at one of our upcoming shows. CD's will be available for purchase at those times as well. You can even get your disc autographed by Jackson, our percussionist, if you ask nicely - and bring an umbrella!

We always get excited about the Christmas season because, frankly, these are our favorite songs to sing! We hope you enjoy our album. We'd love to hear what you think of it, so please drop us a comment at any time.

Happy shopping!

Christmas-time again

Wow! Is it that time of year again already? It seems like we just took down the Christmas lights and stowed the tree, and here we are on the cusp of the holiday season once more!

We of MC6 absolutely LOVE the Christmas season, so much, in fact, that we have a tendency to practice our Christmas songs year-round! We are jazzed about the upcoming season and hope you take a moment to come see us perform at one of our various shows in December.

Also, in case you missed out last year, we are again selling our holiday-inspired CD entitled "Christmas". You can pick one up at any any of our live shows, or you may order one (or two!) directly from this here web site and have it delivered directly to your mailbox.

We'll see you at the show!

Constitution Week show

We're very excited to be a part of the upcoming Constitution Week Fair being sponsored by the City of Gilbert. Festivities run throughout the week, and our show will be at the fair itself on Saturday, Sept 19th from 6-9pm. Here's the flyer for the event:



A variety of musical, dance, magic, and comedy acts will be performing on two stages, plus there will be tons of great food, games, storytelling, and even a fireworks display. We'll be doing a 30 minute set featuring many of our favorites as well as a couple of new songs that we've prepared specifically for this event.

So, come on out and support Constitution Week as we celebrate the anniversary of the adoption of our nation's Constitution.

Mesa Does Debbie

This sounds worse than it was! Actually, it was a lot of fun! We sang a doo-wop set for Deb Duvall at her retirement party/roast last Friday night at the Mesa Hilton, and it truly was a blast.

It was a classy black-tie affair, although we went with more of a "greaser" look to fit in with our doo-wop set for the night.

At one point Deb Duvall joined us on stage and sang "In the Still of the Night" duet-style with Paul.

We ended the show with a proper "roasting" send-off of "Since You've Been Gone" (not the Kelly Clarkson version - think Weird Al!)

All-in-all, a fun show, and a great crowd. Props to Jim McAllister, our sound engineer (foreground), for an excellent audio set-up and mix.

Congrats to Dr. Duvall on her retirement. We wish her well in this next chapter of her life.

Mesa Does Debbie

We are very excited to be a part of the retirement party / roast for Debbie Duvall, the soon-to-be retiring superintendent of the Mesa Public School district. Her favorite music style is doo-wop, so we have been hired to give her and her friends / colleagues a throw-back show tomorrow night at the Mesa Hilton. Now, don't tell her - it's a surprise! More later...

everything sounds better a cappella...right?

Happy Valentines Day!

OK, admittedly, this is showing up a little late, but we just got the pictures back from the photographer, and that reminded us that we should probably write about the event. So...

We were invited to entertain at a Valentine's Day party at Word of Faith Family Church, in Chandler, and it was a fabulous show. We have performed twice for them now, and both times we were blown away by the awesome crowd! So gracious and appreciative...and lively, and FUN! Probably one of our favorite places to perform - the audience really makes a difference. Plus, their sound system rocks!

We were asked to prepare a mix of "love songs" for this show, it being a Valentine's party and all, so we had to hustle and add a couple of new songs to our repertoire. Given that, there were 2 songs we did that night that we had never performed before. For one of them (So Much In Love), we hammered out the ending about 10 minutes before going on stage!

Dan came up with a fun way to introduce a couple of our less-traditional love songs by identifying the "Steps to Recovery" from a bad breakup or broken heart (I Go To Pieces and Since You've Been Gone). The crowd really got a kick out of that, and I think we'll expand on that for future shows.

Jackson rocked the house as usual with his vocal percussion grooves, especially on The Lion Sleeps, and when we wrapped up the show, the crowd wanted more. Since we had exhausted our repertoire of love songs, we went into our doo-wop collection and dusted off Little Deuce Coupe to a standing ovation.

We could have kept going, but we knew they had some other entertainment and activities planned for the night and we didn't want to step on any toes, so we took our bows and then exited the stage to mingle with the audience for a while. Again, what a fun group of folks! Many thanks to Pastor White and Pastor Don for the invitation and for their great support.
