Our newest fan

Our newest fan, Talisha Gayle Koop, was born January 1st, 2012. Another little cowgirl in the making, she's already very familiar with our music as she heard it many times, although muffled, in utero. After spending the last few weeks before she was born in the studio recording our new CD, it was exciting to bring her to the studio to finish up vocals when she was only a week old.

New CD project

We have been deep into practices lately as in a few days we all head to a studio in Winnipeg called Private Ear to begin a new recording project. For those of you who have been anxiously waiting for another CD, you'll have to wait just a bit longer.

Sound Equipment

I purchased a sound system this summer, not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into. I didn't know much about the stuff I bought either, but now after a summer packed full of gigs I've learned how to use it (somewhat) and also that it's a lot of work to do sound at an event. So far it seems that the simpler the setup the better.

Whew, its done!

We did it!! Our first stand alone concert completed and successful. We had a great turnout. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to put this thing on, especially Rockford and Sarah, and Amber. Also a thanks to Chris for the magic show, and of course to all of our fans that came out tonight. It was good to see people out enjoying themselves.

Nerves

Not sure if its because this coming concert/dance is such a big event for us as a band, or if its just normal pre-concert jitters, but I'm really starting to get nervous already, and we still have 4 days left. Hopefully it will calm down a bit after the practices we have scheduled this week- tonight, tomorrow, and possibly Friday (depends on these other two).

Practice, practice, practice

So the countdown to our very first stand alone concert has started for me. Less than three weeks remaining. But many hours of practice must be completed before then. In fact my evening ahead will consist of sitting at my keyboard with two sets of headphones on, one over top of the other.
