It was last year that we met the owner of the Vin du Lac he was kind enough to ask us to come play this year.

there has been some fun and major stuff going on in our music world :) including a write up recently in the Oregonian

They came out to peep the amazing-ness that is the Candle Light every Monday night.

you can get all the information on Keegan's website

http://www.keegansmith.com

We have been having a great year with Keegs.

after his release of the new album he has already sold out of the first round of merch and CD's and is almost thru the second

 

Meanwhile we submitted some of the tunes to ABC Radio's Fame Games

We have got some praise and critique and two weeks in a row we made it to the Track Off for Track of the Day.

How this works is we get reviews and votes on each song. Once we have a score above 12 we are in the running to be on the Qualifer show.

Morning Comes and Just Fine made it within the first week and Fresh Air made it this week.

We just added Smile and Breakdown and could use your reviews or votes.

 

Check it out here: http://www.meermusic.com/KeeganSmith

keep the reviews about the music, be specific, or just vote :) its easy. You can also check out the buzz these guys on their live video blog for the Track Off on YouTube.com

 

Thanks as always for supporting!!

Thanks to those that made it out Monday @ Jimmy Maks.

Come out to the Candle Light every Monday from 10-2 its free and always a good time :0)

 

much love~Amanda & Jenni
