So much great news!
MTV U
Filmed a spot for MTV U, Ahead of the Curve http://www.mtvu.com/category/music/ahead-of-the-curve/
Not sure if we'll make the cut (they filmed tons of bands that day) but hoping! It was super fun, Roger was grinning the whole time, and it sounded great. Recorded in an old warehouse with real cameras on those train track thingys. The staff was super nice.

Collaboration
Working on a collaboration with Max Stoffregen and great pianist who has done arrangements for John Vanderslice. He's generously offered to do an all string arrangement for a brand new song "The Act of Loving You". So excited! We will make it a special limited edition cd or some sort.
