October is perfect. The changing colors, the cool, fresh air. This month inspires me so much, and it only seems perfect that we let our new release out in to the world this season. I don’t think we’ve ever worked this hard for something and we are really excited to share it with our friends and family.

We’ve got a lot of things planned for next week. First we have an interview with Independents Uncovered at WGMU. They’ll be talking with us and Mike Nestor from the Beechfields Record Label, about our new EP and how the Beechfields and it’s artists work.

Next, we are pleased to take part in one of Mobtown Studios‘ famous Microshows. The concept; take a local artist, familiar with the Baltimore music landscape and make them break their mold by stripping down their songs, deconstruct and reform them…in front of a live audience and record it to tape (or hard drive). The small house-like setting of Mobtown really gives the Microshows an intimate and truly unique experience. After all of the house shows we use to play, this performance should really feel like….uh, home?! Dan Cohan from the Water will be sitting in on percussion on a few songs, and Ruby Fulton & Andrew Histand from We Used to be Family will be lending their beautiful strings on a few songs. The Microshows are free, but there is limited space to please email Mobtown and let them know you’re coming.

If you can’t make it to the Microshow next Thursday, or want to see us in full force, then our release show at the beautiful 2640 Space in Charles Village is the show for you! The wonderful people at Red Emma’s really helped us out in organizing this event and let us use this incredible space. We’ve also got some amazing bands kicking off the night, including the newest addition to the Beechfields Family, the Silent Whys and our friends from New Jersey, Communipaw. Silent Whys are a fantastic folk duo, incorporating unique instruments like accordian, banjo, dulcimer and various others. Communipaw walk the line between solid indie-rockers and the coolest breed of alt/country; in short…they rock! We are really excited about this entire week, and have put every last bit of energy we have left into making these next performances some of our best. After all the preparation and planning that we have put into this, I would love watch our own performance. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works we can’t play and spectate at the same time, and to be honest that’s not what we love doing. We love playing our music, for our friends, for our family and for people we would like to call both. If you can make it out, we would love to share the fruits of our labor…of love!
