MUSIC, Travel, Service – Part 1 second (Music)

SLOWLY BUT SURELY,

We are in the early stages of putting a new ep together. Here, in our Irish home away from home, we have written a few new songs and made rough demos of some of the new songs many of you heard on our recent house concert tour. Over tea and ginger snaps, we are beginning to discuss production ideas, budgets, and timelines.

 

..but we’re not in a huge hurry. We’re going to take our time to think about how to release things, and frankly, to figure out if music is a viable thing for us to do long term. CDs seem to be dying out, yet on our tour, we found that several of you still buy them. Singles seem to be a popular way to release songs, but I like collections. We’re very open to hearing your comments about all this below, and we’d be very grateful if you’d share our video for “My World Is Out There” and encourage your friends to join in on our adventure.

If, WITH YOUR HELP,  we can grow our circles a bit wider, we have a better chance to keep up this thing we love, and we especially love seeing all of you, which is why we are tentatively planning another US Tour in  late summer/fall 2017.
Looking back to the very recent past…

 

While in Poland we played two times…once at a rehab center outside Lublin:

Despite the language barrier, the kids at the rehab were very receptive, and most listened to our songs intently, though I’m sure a few were just happy to get out of group therapy, or whatever normally happens at that time. For privacy purposes, we do not have any photos to share from this concert.

Sweet Life – Krakow, Poland

…and a week later in Krakow at an American style bakery called the Sweet Life. (Of course we sang Life is Sweet!) We were happily shocked to find that our English friend Lydia was on holiday in Krakow for the weekend (thanks Facebook), so she came and snapped a few photos as well as broadcasting a couple songs live on Facebook. If you are a mutual friend of ours, you may have caught it.

Surprised by Lydia!

Tour 2017 – As I mentioned above, we plan to be back for a tour in late summer/fall of 2017! If you are interested in hosting a house concert, please contact us for a Host Questionnaire. We will begin working on the routing and scheduling in early 2017.
