New video upload to Stringfever1 on YouTube!
We came across an old video of us playing "Grenadine" back in 2010, recorded at an outdoor gig. Nice intimate setting and the sound worked out very well considering! Just click the link on the Links page here to check it out.
New upload coming to cdbaby.com
We're just putting the finishing touches on our band page on cdbaby.com, so soon you'll be able to find us on your favourite online music sources such as: iTunes and Amazon, even
stream our music while on-the-go!
Also, we'll be releasing our second CD, "Duo" digitally before summer via cdbaby as well. Given the cost of self-maufacture CD's these days, we're going to be offering specially priced "download cards" that will link right up to our cdbaby page allowing you to go buy the music and have it sync right to your iPod or whatever device you choose! How cool is that?
Bookings are coming in!
Do you have a groovy event planned this summer? Do you want some classy, virtuosicly-groovy music to impress your guests with?
Drop us a line before we're all booked up for the summer 2012.
Some of our favourite gigs are house parties, so if you're planning a backyard get-together, office or cottage party and are looking for some classy, groovy acoustic music- give us a call! Our repertoire for such things goes far beyond our CD sound, encompassing cover material from Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, the Beatles, Bill Withers, Johnny Cash and even JS Bach. All of our covers are done true to form, but add in that special "String Fever-ized" flair for the dramatic and virtuosic which we've become known for.
We can be completely acoustic, or make use of our small but amazing sounding PA system. Live music always makes for a great event.
The new CD, "DUO" is in the final mastering process, look for it at our events this summer, and on iTunes and cdbaby.com by summer 2012.
