Hello friends!
It’s been a flurry of activity in Bill-land these past few weeks, lots to bring you up to speed on. We’ve embarked on recording our fifth official album, which has been quite an experience already. The initial phase of tracking is taking place on beautiful Mayne Island, BC in a very comfortable, semi-rustic farmhouse studio, with an adjoining log house which is allowing for some really inspiring times. We have a LOT of exciting new music on the table, and can’t wait to start sharing it.
We’d like to give a HUGE shout out and thanks to the 181 supporters who pre-ordered and contributed financially via our IndieGoGo campaign! We reached 101% of our funding target of $12,000 CAD, and are so thrilled to have rallied as much energy as we did through social media and the videos we circulated.
Those of you who contributed, you can expect to hear from us with some updates as we move forward on the project, and of course, you can expect to receive the music (digital download code, or CDs) sometime in September 2015 (exact date still to be determined).
Thanks to the good folks in Alberta who came out to see us this past weekend, we returned to the Palace Theatre in Daysland for the first time in 13 years (good times!) and played to a sold-out house in Calgary to close the 35th season of the Nickelodeon Music Club.
Keep in touch, we’ll have some more tour dates to share with you very soon, along with some updates on the recording.
If you haven’t yet explored the perks for pre-ordering and contributing to the making of our new record, this series of helpful videos may entice you to get involved!
