Updates!

Hey everyone/anyone! Just some updates as to what is happening with the band!

It looks like we're starting to actually become a band now. We've got consistent people to cover guitar, piano, violin, and trumpet. I have been in contact with a cellist who I would like to count among our ranks, but he will not be in the city until the end of August.

Aside from that, we still need a consistent female vocalist with the right tonal quality and range.

Songwriting has been consistent, and I've got about enough content for a two albums now. The first one is set but the tracks on the second one are subject to change. (so far I have 8 on the second album and 4 more in the works)

Currently I'm trying to figure out what to do about live sound. Right now I'm trying to acquire a portable digital piano. I'm considering either a Yamaha P85 or a Korg Sp-250. I am leaning towards the Korg because it has proper 1/4" outputs. Unfortunately it is more expensive as well.

I'm also considering selling my electric hollow body guitar so that I can acquire a Spanish guitar. I need one for some songs, or, all of them, since I like the way it sounds with my music.

Well, that's all for now! Hopefully things start picking up come September.
