Hello gang! It's been a busy, and eventful last couple of weeks, around the SDR fold. I wanted to hop on here, to give everyone the lowdown, on what's happening. Not the old TV show, mind you, but with us!
First off, we have regretfully decided to cancel our Rodeo Radio event, which was originally scheduled for this Saturday, November 17. While we hate to do this, it's actually not a bad thing. You see, Marti has already booked five live shows for us. These shows will kick off in January. As a result, we have had to shift gears, and really start preparing for these shows. We also have a live show scheduled in McKinney, Texas, at 8pm on Saturday, December 15. This is a private Christmas party. We are, however, looking at broadcasting this performance, over the internet. I will keep you up to date on this, as we get closer to the date.
With that said, we have also decided to expand our lineup, for the live shows. We will be adding a percussionist. We plan to meet with a potential percussionist, this Saturday. This is another reason for the cancellation of Rodeo Radio. Hopefully, all will go well with this, and we can continue moving forward.
As I stated earlier, we are very busy, preparing for our live shows. We are in the process, of putting together some cover tunes, to fill out our set. Learning covers, is a time consuming experience. While you can sometimes take some liberties with them, for the most part, you want to stick to the original formula. We've all heard bad cover versions of songs, and how awful they can be. Roy and I are trying to avoid this, and thus, we are being super selective on the cover songs that we will play, and what liberties we will take with them.
Our primary focus though, is the original music. That is our passion, and what we enjoy doing the most. It's the reason, SDR exists. We are working hard on our debut album, and hope to have it out, early next year. We have not set a deadline on the album. It will be done, when it's done. Hopefully, sooner then later, though. We are currently, in the process, of writing several new songs. These will be added to the setlist, as they are completed.
2013, looks to be avery promising year, and we are looking forward to bringing our music to you. Marti, is filling our calendar up very quickly.
