oops

I know, I know. But you know that photo of us below, in Bridgewater? What I didn’t explain before was that I was in fact pregnant in that picture. And between the fetus, the hot sun, and the smell of the nearby port-o-potties, I nearly lost it on stage that day. So it has been a year, over a year! since I updated this blog. But that’s not because we haven’t been making music. Updating our website falls far, far below sleep, playing with our gorgeous baby and four-year-old, and recording our next album… 

… in our new basement studio! That we built (or rather, helped my father-in-law build). It is blissful to be able to record without an hour of setup beforehand. We’ll be finished recording by the end of 2011, for a spring 2012 release. 

So that’s what we’re up to, g-market wise. We’ll be playing as soon as evenings are our own again. In the meantime, Dave is as busy as ever, and Dan is playing banjo with Smokin’ Contra Band and Modern Grass Quartet. Dan and I are also both working on solo recordings… it is busy around here, but joyful.

I leave you with this promo for ViewFinders International Film Festival, featuring This is The Life:
