Dear friends,
We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience of having you guys there for our last show at Bowery Ballroom. It was truly special for us and we hope you had a blast as well.
Many thanks also to our fellow
Family Records artists who all did a such great job:
Wakey!Wakey!,
Matt Singer and
Pearl And The Beard.
We have a few treats for you.
First of all an
amazing multi-media slide show with photos of the final rehearsal, soundcheck and Bowery show, set to audio recorded at all the aforementioned, created by our good friend
Eric Townsend.
It's been embedded on our
MySpace page so click on over.
Secondly, wow that last 'Roll Your Windows Down' will always be remembered by us as something very special.
Our dear friend Neilson of
Jetty Productions captured the whole thing on video including your beautiful singing, which can also be viewed on our
MySpace page.
We'll have some more surprises for you in the next week or two as far as Bowery Ballroom presents go.
THE FUTURECasey, Jeff and Wes would love to keep you informed of our music projects as we continue to work and/or play together in different formats.
A quick rundown of what you can expect in the near future:
Casey Shea -
Casey will be doing something special with Family Records as he is set to release
6 singles and a full length album in the first half of 2009. Expect some great shows, featuring Jeff on guitar of course, as we take it up a few notches.
Check out Casey's regularly updated
new blog with his special brand of video and written posts as he chronicles his next steps.
Jeff Jacobson -
Jeff will be working on a
new EP with Family Records, with both Casey and Wes involved, and he'll be playing shows with a few different exciting line-ups, including Saturday Nov 1st at 8pm at our dear Rockwood Music Hall. See you there! Oh and Jeff Jacobson doesn't believe in blogs.
Wes Verhoeve - Remember that guy
Kyle Ervin that sang that great Sam & Dave duet with Casey at the Heavies' Bowery Ballroom show? Pretty great right? (I hear you ladies!) Well Kyle is the singer in a
new band with
Wes that will debuting this December (or so).
The band may or may not be called
The Say-So's.
Wes will also continue to work hard to make
Family Records a household name (Casey, Jeff, Wakey!Wakey!, Matt Singer, Pearl And The Beard, Gabriel Kahane) and
Engine Room Recordings (Lowry, The Bloodsugars, Porter Block) too.
Keep up to date on his activities on the brand new

Much love,
Wes, Jeff & Casey
