Everyday is Earth Day

each day we strive to live by the rhythm & rhyme of the poetry & melodies of life.
Go ahead get GREEN with us! We’ll be playing many Earth Day shows in the next few weeks, Elgin Green Expo May 5th – and it’s time to plan ahead to the ultimate green experience at the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair June 15th!
Look for more details on the tour dates at www.patchouli.net concerts in Illinois and Wisconsin and Minnesota coming right up!

This week in April also happens to be International Trombone week, I think I’ll go pull out that old trombone of mine, and write a horn line for a new song… then I’ll listen to the brilliant job Jason and Airan did playing horns on our “Come A little Closer” album.

Ahhhh it’s really good to be back home in the Midwest and watch spring unfold. The past 4 shows we played were amazing! Full of such good vibrations! Thank you for all your support and generosity. (oh and the little surprise gifts we find on stage and in the green room from the "gig faeries")

This album of instrumental Spanish style guitar music is the fourth release in the Terra Guitarra collection. The songs were composed throughout the year of 2011 starting with the first song on the project “Janvier”, which was written in January. The recording showcases a musical journey of travels and expressions of acoustic guitar at it’s most emotional and passionate.

The entire CD insert is also a mini art show of paintings guitarist Bruce Hecksel created through the recording process of the album and for the project, in his original theme of guitar landscapes, Terra Guitarra.
