It's been a while since the last recording but this weekend we will start work on our 2nd Studio release. The new CD should be ready in the fall 2007. We're all excited about it. UPDATE: Recording put on hold for now..we hope to get back to it fall of 2008...will keep you posted. ATB

I'll be a backup singer/dancing girl (along with my friend Margie Perez) we're performing with Ya Ya Sol on sunday 12:45 - 2pm during French Quarter Fest. Should be a beautiful day and it's FREE! Come enjoy the good food, music, & people.

Hey the trio will be performing @ the Louisiana Music Factory during French Quarter Fest. Sat 2-3pm. Check out our calendar for more info.

Please give of your time or money to help rebuild New Orleans & the Coast. There is still much to be done. We are far from back to normal.

We're all alive and well and refugees but out of harms way.

FYI we'll be heading back to the studio at the beginning of 2006 to record our follow-up CD. Preproduction has begun. Keep your eye/ear out for the new material with CD to follow.

We're celebrating Memorial day weekend at Nawlins. The show is Sunday May 29th from 7-11pm. It's a nice little place relatively new, open about 6 weeks. Come on out & help us make a good impression. They have nightly drink specials, food, & the show is $FREE. Check out our calendar for more info.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to give us a listen! What a cool little record store.

For those of you who haven't had a chance to come out to hear us live, we're coming to you via TUL (91.5 on your radio dial in the New Orleans area) this Sat. March 5th between 12 & 1pm (in the afternoon for my late sleepers). Tune in and give us a listen we'll be remote from the PJ's on Tulane's campus.

Hey, hope you tuned in and got to hear us. Thanks to the awesome people at TUL.

Hey, Just thought we'd start the new year off with a redesign of the site. We'll be adding song clips, lyrics, and bio/contact info for all of the musicians that we are curently working with as well as those that we have had the pleasure of working with in the past. If you have any other suggestions for the site please send them on. Thanks.

We've recently added our new drummer/percussionist Adam Coolsaet into the fold. He is new to town and originally hails from Canada. We're excited to be working with him and He is a welcome addition to the band.

Hey everyone, The song "Simple" off of our debut recording "In my head" was entered in the 12th annual Billboard World Song Contest. Although it was not the winning song in the Country/Folk catagory it did place among the top 1500 entries. I received a honorable mention certificate suitable for framing with a nice letter from Billboard with kind words of encouragement.

Hey everyone, One of my paintings will be part of this show. Go by and check out the artwork on display, all of it was created by New Orleans & surrounding area musicians.

Thanks to JoAnn Clevenger who bought my painting! If you guys want to check it out it is now a part of her huge collection on display in her restaurant, The Upperline, at 1413 Upperline St. New Orleans. If you didn't get a chance to check out the show I think they will be putting it on again next year.

I want to thank everyone for coming out to the big "rock" show @ the Wolf. We all had a great time & sounded awesome, if I do say so myself. If you didn't make it out, you missed out. Thanks also to Ryan Chatelain for all your hard work, great band & Otel you guys sounded wonderous!
