Hello folks,

it’s Greg’s Birthday today so we’ve been busy cooking and boozing all day, but I did get a chance to run away for a pit from the family gathering and video record one of the new songs we are working on for the EP that comes out next month.

You can watch it here!
also you can send greg birthday wishes too at scregrock@gmail.com

Soon after you left, I turned into an owl…

Goodmorning friends,

Its strange, when I had a day job, I couldn’t sleep past 7am, because I had trained myself to wake up for work. Now I wake up right at 10am, because they always want us to check out of hotels by 11. ha

Tonight we’ll be playing at Cappy’s in tampa. here is a link to the event. It will be our first time playing there, but it will be a good one- its their anniversary party. Come on out! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=143523612339921&ref=ts

We are deep into booking September and October dates with Justin from the band Mousefire ( http://myspace.com/mousefire) they will be taking us on their tour in November as support. Im excited to be getting into these markets and play for new folks that have never heard us. Everything is slowly starting to fall into place.

In october we will be going back to our song writing home of Sturgeon Bay to take a part in the Dark Songs Festival. I can’t wait to go back. Its always rehab for me.

Im posting our dates as they are confirmed. Please take a look at our calendar/ tour page to see where we will be, again we’ll be taking on half the country in a matter of months so I want to make sure that if we are in your area, you know that we’re coming!

Ive been writing heavily the last couple of weeks which is going to result in an online ONLY release of our acoustic EP which we will be recording at the end of August. Im excited to go back to the acoustic roots, if you can call it that. Soon Ill have more info on that for you soon.

Its a whole bunch of preparation for a whole bunch of doing. The world is spinning round and we’re all just going with the flow.

We have some good shows coming up in the tampa bay are so please come on out if you’re around and free.

Today we go thrift hunting.

adios

So I am sitting here at Stage on Herr, in the green room where we made a bedroom, enjoying the vibes in Harrisburg PA. 
John (the owner of this crazy amazing place) has been so kind, so welcoming, and so accommodating to us. He’s fed us, given us tours of the town and shared some great stories about his life here in Harrisburg.  Tonight is our last night here and I’ll look forward to coming back to Stage on Herr. 

On the first night of tour I got the “first night of tour cold/sickness” , that seems to be a trend with me. Thanks motel in the ghetto of Knoxville for doin the honors on this one. I am finally getting over the flemmy part of the cold. 

After knoxville we went to morristown TN where we played The Downtown. Coolest little bar/venue ever. You know how you usually find these bar wanna be venues, where “everything is about the music” in a cheesy way to the point where no one wants to go there? Well this place finally got that “everything about the music” thing right. Awesome sound, awesome lights, awesome room, great drinks/drink specials and above all, great owners and operators. I would have never thought that place existed in TN. Alan, thanks got a great night and thanks for the hospitality. 

Then we drove to VA. We had to cancel our show in Roanoke because I was so sick no actual sound was coming out of my mouth. I hate canceling. The next day we drove Staunton, where we drove around for hours in circles calling the venue and the owner of the venue only to find out that it has closed down months ago(WTF?!?people seriously?why wouldn’t you send out a mass email saying- hey, we no longer exist, don’t spend the last of your gas money for nothing). Anyway, the Darjeeling cafe does not exist. That was pointless and I was pretty mad. 

Yesterday we drove here, to Harrisburg and had an absolutely FANTASTIC time. It sounds sappy, but guys, when away from home, you’re lucky to get hospitality. This was hospitality at it’s finest.

I’m the morning we are off to Philly -another place I’ve never been. 
I’ve been taking tons of videos and photos on the camera that was donated to us (thankyou!), but I apparently didn’t get the right USB cable so I can’t upload it to my crappy computer. Looks like ima gonna have to have you guys wait again on seeing those. 

Love you all. Don’t forget about us, well be home soon.

Tonight is a good night. 

I have developed a real positive feeling over the last couple of days. I see my obstacles, I acknowledge them, and I welcome them. I am aware of my path I’m really ready to walk it. 

In the real world, and in dreams, our lives are the same: there is hope, there is conflict and there is resolution. No matter how tragic or spectacular, in the end, the outcome is always the best situation for the greater good. It all makes sense. I think that whatever my heartships, whatever my trouble and struggles may be, in the end, the outcome will be what needed to happen. 

I am sitting tonight in good company, in good atmosphere, missing the road, missing my band and missing the fans, but this is a much needed break and deliberation period. I think I’m ready finally to take the load on without buckling under the stress and pressure. 

I’m back to writing songs and being able to write without expectations, but just for the pure purpose for therapy and getting things off my chest and onto the paper, like heart web strings, making a home. I’m back!

I’m trying my hardest to put aside the paranoia and scare tactics that have been nailed into my head about the music business and taking chances. You know what I say? I am the exception. I don’t are (respectfully) what the veterans and masterminds of the music industry think about the music industry. I am a songwriter and a musician and I like millions out there believe in what I’m doing and will continue on with what I’m doing at all cost, because it’s my duty to, because it’s the only thing I know how to do, and because there are millions of people who need me.

So,I love you fans, I love you music, I love you music industry experts, I love you famous music icons and I love you haters. I am one girl against the world and I am all packed up and ready to come and change your mind.
