We're most likely entering the studio in June to begin work on our 2nd CD. We're really excited about the new material and can't wait to share it with you all. Problem is, studio time is expensive! If you'd like to help ensure the album reaches its potential, please consider making a donation through the Merch Page (The donation button is towards the bottom). We've got lots of gifts for those who do (credit in the liner notes, signed merch, play on the album etc.)!. All amounts are appreciated and will receive a thank you from us. Regular purchases are also a great help.

So..we might need an orchestra to play on some of our next album. Who wants to be that $5000 donor through our CalProg download offer who helps make that happen and gets to play on it? :-) Of course you get PLENTY of cool gifts for donating LESS than $5000 too ($25 gets a credit on the CD, $50 gets that and signed T-shirt or CD etc.) when you download the show. I'll let Leslie take it from here
