   About Open Road
Open Road is Jesse Wunderlich, Elisabeth (betsy please) Storlie, Brett Schoneman, and Elias Wunderlich. Open Road's story goes something like this: once upon a time, there were three friends who decided that they liked each other and each other's music. They decided to make music together. Then little brother decided to show his fantastic musician skills so he jumped in too. And it was good. The End. Wait, not the end. The Beginning. Indie-Acoustic-Folky-Rock! Party on! LAUS VENERATIO PALMA TANTUM UT DEUS!

May 2008 not just be great,
let it fulfill destiny or fate.
It could be the year of dreams,
or finding ways to be less mean.
Whatever it is I'll wish for you,
all your hopes and dreams come true!

Happy New Year,
Brian

so, i was working construction at some guys house in belmond...remodeling the basement. well, i happen to see some track photos on the wall and i notice a very young, slimmer version of brett shoneman. the photo was of the 1996 garner 1600 medly relay team State Champs. I guess the guys house i was working on was a coach or something. weird how those things happen...i didn't know that rock-stars could run that fast. did you guys know you had a state champion in your band? just a comment.

Call me extremely out of the loop but how do I get some music from this FUN and AMAZING group of musicians? I'm a willing paying customer and would even supply my own return envelope! :) I miss seeing you! :) Someone will have to explain the Mark Schultz calendar item for August sometime too. I LOVE his music...I sang "I Am" at church like 3 Sundays ago.... It was soooooo fun and well....just great !!! :) AC :)

Well, I'm still jealous that you got to see Schyler Fisk last weekend and I did not. However, the fact that Open Road is playing on Sunday, and I get to go, totally makes up for it!! :)

So I loved your show tonight and so did my posse and you know what's funny? I realized I didn't know some of my posse but I think they know one of my other friends that came with me. lol. Oh and I also saw your tour bus by the church that you were talking about. The show was a lot of fun and I hope to come to another performance sometime soon.
