After some soul searching, I have decided to focus on performing solo. That’s the simple of it all *insert drums*
I am so proud of what Mary Harsh, Russ Scanlon, Johnny Radelat, Chris Trafton (plus subs Vinnie Ambrosonie and John Duran) have accomplished. I moved to Austin just under 3 years ago. The band played its first show on October 20th, 2010 at The Carousel Lounge. We quickly became busy and played all around Austin, Houston, Dallas, Beaumont, etc. This was a hard decision to make, as I really enjoyed playing with them all. Unfortunately, the pace I was keeping left little time to do one of the things I love the most…write songs.
I have so much gratitude for the people who jumped in to pimp the mailing list (Marguerite Jones), sell CDs (Jennifer Stanaland, Sharon Hunt, Julie Gamboa, many of you have jumped in to move a CD or two), record the music live and in studio (John Harsh). I have been graced with some of the most beautiful friendships! You all have been so good to me, “and I thank you”.
For those of you that are wondering: the CD will get finished and released. All of you wonderful Kickstarter supporters, we will fulfill our promise to you. I cannot thank you enough for your faith in us!
We (the band) still care deeply about each other, and you never know when we may have opportunity to pop up on stage together.
I hope you all will continue to check in here on my website, and please come to some of my solo shows! I will have some regular stints at Rusty’s and Fion in Steiner Ranch. I hope you will also check in on some new tunes, and of course Mary, Russ, and the fabulous musicians who kept the music going with us.
It is with so much gratitude in my heart for all of you who came to the shows, spread the word about us, the bookers who booked us, and the venues who gave us a place to do our thang, that I embark on this new part of my of my journey. Without YOU, we could not have done any of it! I hope I may have the honor of your continued presence, and honor of playing music for YOU!
Love, peace, prosperity and all our dreams come true!

congrats on all you have done…and what you have in store for us in the future… we never did get to talk things out and I’m not a big fan of one sided stories..
here is what I do know, I love you sister and miss you dearly. I’m still in central florida, lemmeno if your tours ever bring you this way. I did have a funny dream where I woke up in Austin. Can I still drive the bus?
love you Ralphie
Holla when you can.
