Last night was opening night for the Ballet West Innovations performances.  I can't tell you how excited and honored we are to be a part of this whole thing.  The first show went really well and we got a lot of really positive responses from the audience.

The piece we are involved with is by soloist/choreographer Jason Linsley and is entitled "Growth and Grief".  The dance is set to our songs "This Is The Last Time I'll Say Goodbye" and "September..." and is, to quote Jason, "based around two couples with very different relationship personalities, lovers and fighters. One of the couples goes through a massive tragedy and the other takes another look at their lives together. The process is very personal and driven from experience from myself and my dancers."  It's really amazing and surreal to be a part of such an intensely emotional piece of work.

We're looking forward to the rest of these performances.  If any of you in Utah can make it out to a show, come say hi.  It would be awesome to have some friends in the audience.

After these shows, we're going to hunker down and get to writing/finishing up our next record.  We already have some ideas that we are really excited about and can't wait to see them come to fruition.

So, thanks everyone for your patience.  We hope to have the new record (plus maybe some other surprises) out there by the end of the year, at the latest.
