So long, Jeremy; Hello, Rick

SO LONG, JEREMY
It is with heavy heart that we announce that our good friend and 1st tenor, Jeremy Ehmke, has left MC6 to pursue new adventures with his family in Idaho. His smooth high tenor melodies will be sorely missed, but more than that, we will miss HIM as a friend and brother-in-arms. We're happy for him, though, as he opens this new chapter in his life. We wish for him and his family the greatest of success and happiness in their new home. Additionally, if there are any vocal groups in the Boise area looking for a strong high tenor, Jeremy comes HIGHLY recommended - you simply will not find a better team player and all-around good guy than Jeremy!

HELLO, RICK
And, so, given the nature of a six-part singing group, if we are to continue we must plug the gaping hole in our lineup left by departing Jeremy. Jeremy was so kind, even, to recommend hs replacement, and after some auditioning, we'd like to announce that Rick Andreasen will immediately be stepping into the spotlight as our new 1st tenor! Rick brings an injection of energy and enthusiasm to MC6, not to mention the skills of a licensed chiropractor. He's got an awesome voice and incredible range - ready for "The Lion Sleeps"? - and we're thrilled to welcome him to the group. As of right now, his debut performance will be on Sept. 10th at the Mesa Sister Cites concert at the Mesa Arts Center. So, come out to the show and meet our new addition.

UPDATE: We're currently in the studio working on album #2! This one will be a true doo-wop album featuring favorites like "Blue Moon", "Teenager In Love" and "Come Go With Me". These songs are so much fun, and we can't wait to finish it and make it available to our fans. More news on this later, so stay tuned!
