Fall is here, and we are rolling!

So much going on...just celebrated the release of Kickin Valentina's EP...getting major buzz on internet radio and great, loud, gaudy live shows. Check 'em out at Masquerade w/ Pop Evil on Nov. 17 and at The Brass Mug in Tampa in Nov. 22. Maddie Monroe is close to finishing a couple of tracks for her upcoming project...we will release a single, produced by local ATL music favorite Diane Durrett, in November 2013. Poverty Level is also back in the studio and working on new music with a new bass player and additional guitar player onboard. Look for Maddie and PL to split some bills in some of your favorite North Fulton venues before the end of the year (dates TBA), and for Poverty Level to play at Smith's Old Bar on Jan. 3 with The First Stone and later in January in Athens as part of the great Alzhiemer's Music Festival. And, finally, look for piano chanteuse Beth Ballinger at The Roswell Tap throughout the fall. Check out the band's sites for more news, music and merch!

Mixing for Roswell Tap compilation

Finished up ( or close to it) on Kali's Janette's warm and bouncy charmer "End of the Day." Man, that song makes you wanna dance! Bath Ballinger is back in Lucky Dog tomorrow night to put the finishing touches on her big, dangerous song. And Joe Kay is hard at work gettin' his groove on songs from Poverty Level and Summer Dare. This little album is gonna be delish! Can't wait until we release it in April. And look for news soon on a happy jamming release party at...where else?...The Roswell Tap in May.

Sarah Clanton Schaffer...Cell-tastic? Or cell-riffic?

Great to see Sarah again last night to record a couple of parts for songs on Beth's upcoming album. Always a pleasure to work with pros. And she has a redo of her song, "Dragons in the Kitchen" coming out real soon. Look for it and support indie music!

Close to wrapping up recording on the Roswell Tap project, then to the mixomatic. Really excited by the quality (and warmed by the friendliness) of the great local musicians on this project. Look for more updates soon, both here and on our Twitter and Facebook feeds. It will come out just as the weather gets reliably warm and sunny in late April. Coincidence? I think not!
