New CD and more

Hello everyone,

Well, the journey has begun. The band started recording our new CD yesterday. The session went really well and we got around five pieces recorded. Quite a bit more recording to go, but it's a beginning. Once all the recording is done, we have to edit and mix the sound. Then of course, we have to press the CDs, write and design the liner notes/artwork and get it out there! A lot of work still to go ...

If you want to support our efforts by buying the CD in advance (before it's made), we can use your money to pay for the production. If you would like to become an "Angel," and invest between $200 and $1,000, the offer is still open. Contact me and I'll tell you how.

We HAVE however made a new band video for the Yule season. Barry filmed it and Sharynne was away somewhere leading a workshop (or something), so they were not in it. Please check it out:

We'll be playing for the "Gaia's Hearth" Yule Ritual on Sunday the 16th at noon. At the end of the ritual, there'll be a Spiral Dance with music provided by Trouz Bras plus The Elemental Choir. Susan (Seafire) Kirsch will lead the dance, Come and join in the fun.

We'll be helping to bring in the New Year by performing at "Providence Bright Night" on December 31st. We'll be sharing the bill with "Pendragon" at The First Baptist Church, 75 North Main Street, Providence, RI. Trouz Bras will perform (with guest bassist James Mobius) at 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Pendragon will play at 10:00pm and 11:00pm.

The band has just been re-booked at "The Blackstone River Theatre." We had a blast at the theatre when we played last year. See a clip of our performance here:
