We just flew in from Los Angeles and are now settling back into life here in sunny GA. We had an amazing time performing at the Cerritos Center with our friends in the Santa Fe Guitar Quartet. Click below to read an excellent recap on the show.

We'd also like to extend some love to Jason who just arrived in China a couple of days ago and is no doubt nursing some serious jetlag. Keep us posted on your trip man!

3.15.06 New York. We love the disco.
Hello! We just returned from a two night stint in New York. We played at the CSI Center for the Arts and and the Gibson Theatre at Elmira College. Both shows were sold-out, so thanks to everybody who came out! During this little tour, we premiered two new works: an outstanding new piece by Brian entitled “Sketches” and the Fugue No. 4 in C#-minor by J.S. Bach. You can expect to hear both of these works on our upcoming concerts.

We are also currently working on several other new works, including “Wheels” by Leonard V. Ball, Jr., and “Two Repaired Movements” by Kyle Dawkins. We also have new arrangements of music by Bartok, Bach, and Grieg in the works.
We are still planning on completing “Puzzle”—an album that has been on the backburner for quite a while now. In fact, we fear that it might become our equivalent of Brian Wilson’s “Smile.” This album features all original compositions. All of the slated tracks are recorded, and we are still wrapping up the production work. We hope to have it out sometime during the summer. To kick things off, in March we'll be heading back out on tour. A few exciting things in store this season will include a performance of Joaquin Rodrigo's Concerto Andaluz with the Utah Symphony Orchestra as well as premiers of several new works and arrangements.
But of course, you’ve heard this all before
