We want to share with you what's going on in our world. We know things are looking very slow on our end. We owe it to you to let you know what is going on. The past months have been devoted to writing and creating an album that sums up and defines our vision, our goal, and ultimately our purpose as a band.
NEW RECORD
There's a new direction for the upcoming album, and a new direction for Briertone. The album will be mostly acoustic folk and alt-country. But the album does include songs that still resemble the heavy and minor key sound that Briertone has always had. It's not that our music has changed for good, it's simply that we're going to write, record, and perform the songs that are put on our hearts. This record is our heart.
All shows and tours have been placed on hold for the completion of this project. It has taken longer than we projected but we're more concerned about it being done right, than it being done....sooner. We've always prayed that the record would be used to knock on the hearts of it's listeners, to speak love and truth into people's lives. We will give it the time that it needs.
The album is very far along however. And we've never had opportunity to record with such great instrumentation. In addition to the usual our usual instruments, friends of ours have tracked cellos, violins, accordian, dobro, didjeridu, and the list goes on. This album is sort of a community effort really. It's coming along so well and we're really excited to get it you all.
We expect to finish the album this summer. We'll tour it when it's finished and pressed.
NEW SONGS
The song 'may it be a sweet sound' that we've just posted on our myspace is a rough cut version. it's incomplete, unmixed and unmastered. the song will be very different when we release it. but we wanted to give you an idea of some of the direction of the album. We've also added the song 'mountain top' also unmixed and unmastered. We still need to add banjo, upright bass, and new vocals to this song. We thought it might be cool to show you some progress though.
Also, if you go to myspace.com/mayitbeasweetsound you'll find a few of our new songs in their earliest stages. These versions were recorded on garage band, just so we wouldn't forget how they go. All the songs on the mayitbeasweetsound myspace are being re-recorded in the studio and will be on the new album.
ACOUSTIC SHOW IN SAN LUIS OBISPO
We have booked an acoustic show at Linnaea's in downtown San Luis Obispo to introduce some of the songs off of the new record. It's across the street from Downtown Brew. The show will be at 8PM on Wednesday, June 25. And it's free!
Thank you so much for your patience. Please send us a message if you have any questions.

Hello Family We have a favor to ask of you [it would really help us out]! Oneway Boarshop in San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and Ventura is carrying our Spring men’s and women’s stuff exclusively for those areas and they’ll have it in stock by the end of this week [5-23-08]. Could/would you tell as many people as you can, that if their interested in getting our new stuff to stop by their and pick it up. We REALLY need to make a big impact on Oneway, to let them know there’s people in those areas that want our stuff. Their committing to our clothing and we want to commit to them with sales........so if you could PLEASE spread the word to as many people as you can, it would be a huge blessing........thanks. Even forward this post to anyone you know in those areas, that would be down to support the cause.
