We are very excited to say that the 2010 upcoming album is in the finishing stages!  The entire project has been an amazing experience and we feel great about the content and overall production.  We are now unleashing a presale event to help offset high duplication costs.  With your help through PRE-SALE, we will be able to give it back to you cheaper and sooner with perks.  So, instead of waiting to get one at a show this year, we encourage you to do it now. 

 

We are hoping to raise enough money through PRE-SALES to release this album on Vinyl Records, CD's and Digital websites like iTunes.  Records are more expensive than a CD because they sound better!  We hope you too will feel inspired to take part in the PRE-SALE event regardless of your media preference.  To purchase a number of different packages included in the PRE-SALE, scroll down.

 

Thank you all very very much for all the continued support and encouragement, comfy pillows to rest our road-weary heads and fond memories in between.  It has been a long road to a dream come true and a pleasure to make music and have it so well received! Please scroll down and get the full scoop!

 

PERKS OF PRE-SALE

1. You'll get the album at least 6 weeks before it is released to the mass public.

2. You'll get a signed copy, poster and sticker

3. Depending on how much money we raise, you'll have a choice of medium (ex. Vinyl record, CD, digital) at the very least you will get a CD, poster and sticker regardless of PRE-SALE success.

4. You'll be helping independent artists and musicians give back to the community.

5. If you choose to simply donate, we will surely appreciate it. 

NOTE:  All money raised will go back into music, which in turn, will be released to you.
