Can you believe it? We're finally taking pre-release orders on RoseBud Blue's debut album, "Depending on the Glass"! ... You may be asking yourself, "why do I need to get my copy of this hot new album now, a couple of weeks before it's actually out??" Well friends, let me tell you...pre-release sales will not only be delivered to your very own doorstep the day it is out in June but your rockin' package (addressed, licked and sealed by the girls themselves!) will also include an autographed picture of the RBB girls!
As you can imagine, we are very excited about completing this album and know that we couldn’t have done it with out all of the support we received along the way. We sincerely want to thank you for being a part of our journey.
So, head on over to RoseBudBlue. com and pick up your very own copy today...before it becomes the “cool” thing to do.
Whoa, is it the end of the year already?! We’ve been so busy with our upcoming recording, the New Year just snuck up on us! Many thanks for all of your support in 2007. Make sure you check in at RoseBudBlue.com and join our recording journey. It’s been a blast and there is only more to come!!
Here’s to an exciting and prosperous 2008 filled with music and, well….you name it!
Greetings The Hawthorne Hills Band, I am delighted to be your friend. I dig your sound. Thanks for checking out my tunes. Keep Rockin! Love, Joanie Sanders
We enjoyed hearing you all at the Bill Jorgenson Memorial Bluegrass Festival this past weekend. And thanks to Erin for letting me check out her Pricetone mandolin. Very interesting instrument, that.
Steve,
Thanks so much for the cd! Looks and sounds great, but I am a little bias.
Appreciate it and look forward to hearing you soon! Good luck this summer Festival season!
Bob
Hey, thanks for the heads up re: your recording session! I especially like Wayfaring Stranger.
Our first cd was recorded live in my living room in one day with no overdubs, warts and all as they say! Listening back now it's hard to believe we let some of it out, but ya gotta start somewhere! Great work getting started, and here's to many future sessions!
We are definitely interested in playing Milwaukee, but have nothing arranged at this time. Please let us know if you've got any venues we should contact, or bills we can join! Best regards from Tangleweed in Chicago.
Thanks much for finding us and adding us as a friend. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Good luck in the future gigging, etc. Give a shout back when you've got some tunes up on MySpace so I can take a listen. Peace,
Andrew Woodland,
Clawhammer Banjo,
