3/28/2012Soona's Spring Serenade
Greetings Soonaphiles!
Hope the sun's return finds you with a spring in your step, bright eyes and cold noses. Here at Soona Central things are blooming busy. Esteemed CEO is heading to Washington, D.C. for her yearly National Cherry Blossom Festival performance, recovery is in progress from a great time at Folk Alliance, scheduling for summer recording sessions is underway, we have some new Soona Snacks up, and new reviews have been published for Radiophonic, Beth Cahill, and Kevin Elliott!
First, a word from Esteemed CEO:
Check out the Soona Songs Store for all your spring gift giving! Where else can you find such unique offerings for only $9.99. All albums feature a low glycemic load, with plenty of endorphins if you listen at high volume. Thank you.
Check out the reviews from on-line music magazine Rust for I Could Have Been a Rocket Scientist, It's a Circus Here, Dolores, and Songs for Sarah:
Esteemed CEO heads again to the National Cherry Blossom Festival, disguised as singer/songwriter Marilyn Duncan. She'll perform at the Canon Stage, Sylvan Theater, on the Washington Monument Grounds, April 2 at noon. She thinks this is her ninth year, but it is a hundred years for the festival!
Ghost Dog would like to give a big thanks to everyone who performed at the Soona Songs Showcase at Folk Alliance this year. All the acts were great, including our own artists. We had a wonderful time getting together and making music: Beth Cahill, Lisa Markley and Gina Forsyth, individually and as The Malvinas; Bruce Balmer, Graham Duncan, Marilyn Duncan, Kevin Elliott and Markley & Balmer. A good time was had by all.
Speaking of good times, now that the new recording studio is ready to roll, Esteemed CEO wants to record. Beth Cahill is already laying down some tracks with Graham of-many-tasks Duncan for her next album. We have a bit of Lisa Markley and the Bruce Balmer Orchestra in the can, and Ghost Dog heard a rumor that Bruce Balmer is ready to record a solo project! Radiophonic, with their ongoing on-line composing, need to pick a date soon.
Soona Snacks, Spring Selection
- In honor of the show Jupiter has been making in the night sky, from Heliopause v. I, "jupiter swing-by."
- For the flowers emerging everywhere, from Kevin Elliott's It's a Circus Here, Dolores, "Yellow Philodendrons."
- For young love, a selection from 3 Shot West (presently Radiophonic), "Skies of Blue."
Enjoy the songs, enjoy the spring, and thanks for supporting independent music, especially ours.
Soona
