The NotreMonde Demos |
Hi everyone time for an update! Last month I finished my spring tour of the UK. It began with a performance at the NCM awards where I received a songwriting award from George Hamilton the IV. After that I went on to perform in concerts across Scotland, England and Wales in collaboration with alive ministry and over thirty churches. Also I had an interview with cross rhythms where I played a couple of songs live and unplugged.
The Lord has strengthened my faith through many of the trials and challenges I faced on the road and I also received huge blessings and encouragement from the countless testimonies of other believers on how Jesus has changed their lives. I pray that those to whom I shared my songs and testimony with were mutually encouraged. I finished the tour playing at the Christian Recourse exhibition in London and played as supporting artist for Noel Richards in Inverness of which I’ve put some videos in the video section
Also during the tour I went for an audition and interview at The London School of theology and am delighted to announce that I was accepted onto their new theology and worship undergraduate degree program. From September this year I will be moving to London to begin studies and am very excited about the whole thing. I hope to continue in music ministry at the weekends, whilst I study at the College.
Also this summer I have been busy recording a new album which is now finished and coming out on August the 31st. I have recorded and produced this album myself and believe it to be some of my best material yet. You can pre order a copy through this website and a copy will be mailed out to you on August 31st, I’ve put a new preview track called psalm 61 on the music player as taster.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported and continues to support my ministry through Prayer.
God Bless,
John

After this past string of local shows, we will be going away for a little while. We'll be holing ourselves up in the studio, finishing new songs and revamping our live show. We've always had the desire to bring in added elements to our set, and have been designing a portable lighting rig to bring to shows. We'll be unveiling it at an as-yet unannounced venue, so stay tuned.
In other news, we have decided to make our eponymous debut EP available for free download. Just clickity-clack on the album cover below and you'll be directed to our Bandcamp site. Of course, if you haven't downloaded the NotreMonde Demos (our latest release), that's free too. What can we say-we're givers.
See you in a few weeks....

Hang Jones - The Ballad of Carlsbad County
The best Americana songs all have one thing in common: someone has to get shot. Singer/songwriter Hang Jones took this to heart when writing the songs for his debut album The Ballad of Carlsbad County. What began as a collection of bluegrass inspired country-rock songs evolved into a Western Outlaw-themed story album complete with hangings, gunfights, love, sex, and revenge. Jones credits two of his songs as catalysts for inspiring him to write a concept record. “When I began writing material for the new record, ‘Caroline’ and ‘Red’ were my favorites. I liked them for their cinematic quality, and they were a lot of fun to sing, but when I noticed that they could be chapters in a much larger story, I got really excited about rewriting all the other tunes to fit into the story.” The album chronicles the life and fall of William Bishop. Born the son of a notorious outlaw, William, at an early age, witnesses his father’s capture and hanging. He spends his developmental years wrestling with the stigma of his father’s crimes (and punishment) while his mother stresses that William’s fate is not the same as his father’s. “I liked the idea of playing with free will versus destiny. Put the protagonist into situations where if he does what he feels is morally right, he will eventually wind up on the same road as his father, a man he himself views as amoral.” Each track on the album is a chapter in the story, taking William, and the listener, to the inevitable crossroads where our hero will have to decide his own fate: hang like his father, or live free like his mother taught him.

Billboard 09.04.71 "ABC Free Form Convention" - Page 8 -
"MICHAEL WHITE, free form violinist, performs while being recorded live at the Kabuki Theatre. His album is slated for early fall release. Other artists from the Impulse and ABC/Dunhill line who 'helped wind up the convention included Mel Brown, John Lee Hooker, Clifford Coviter, John Klemmer and Danny Cox. . . "
Early fall release probably means Michael's First Impulse Release "Spirit Dance". We were wondering if there is the LIVE recording still exist from this convention?

That's 13 videos - an entire dvd's worth of entertainment - for free! Once it's all online, you'll be able to watch it as a playlist.

You'll just have to wait and see. A full set list will be posted up tomorrow with the first three videos.

Hi There,
After receiving some information and talking to professional musicians, they told me the best way to promote myself is to use this website provider (www.fourfour.com). Some of my friends also told me what success they are having, so I transfered myself over to this website provider.
The Website looks totally different from the old one but am told that people out there want simple websites and not have to go on external link and link to new pages. So here at the new website, every things on one site
Hope you enjoy the new website, let me know what you think

Pitchfork gave Department of Eagles' Archive 2003-2006 a glowing 8.1 review. Featuring tracks recorded between the band's debut The Cold Nose and their breakthrough In Ear Park, and around the time member Daniel Rossen recorded the classic Yellow House with his other band Grizzly Bear, Archive is, in Pitchfork's words, "a document rich with revelatory moments and educatory touchstones-- but as an album, it functions even better." They got it just right in our estimation, and again in the review's conclusory statement: "Even when they don't mean to, Rossen and Nicolaus come off as impeccably having their shit together."
Archive 2003-2006 is available now.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Johnny began playing music under the influence of family friend Sam Butera, sax master with Louis Prima. Johnny’s special gift on the saxophone found him, at age seventeen, blowing in the top of Bourbon Street nightclubs. Here he developed his unique style under the tutelage of such notables as Al Hirt, Pete Fountain, James Moody, Cannonball Adderly, and Dizzy Gillespie.
He has performed for the Rat Pack at the Factory in Los Angeles, NBC Studios, Millionaires Club, Sahara Tahoe and Las Vegas Sands. Johnny has played with dozens of recording stars from Freddy Fender, Ernie K-Doe, Professor Longhair to Sam Cooke, Aaron Neville, Frankie Ford, Kenny Rogers and others. Johnny has recorded in New Orleans, Canada and Nashville. The ultimate compliment came from a jazz legend who never played with Johnny. The great Duke Ellington, on a tip from his trumpet player Cat Anderson, arrived at Papa Joes’ on Bourbon Street one night. He wanted to hear for himself the highly touted sounds of a featured young saxophonist by the name of Johnny Pennino. The Duke, loving the sound he heard, made a point of meeting Johnny after the performance to offer his valued words of praise.
Since 2002 Johnny has performed at the Southside Shuffle Blues and Jazz Festival in Canada, Hambone Festival in Clarksdale, MS as well as this past April 2010 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
A Louisiana Hall of Famer, Johnny Pennino’s depth of tone drips with emotion. It cries with you. It laughs with you. His seductive sound embraces you very soul. Powerful riffs of passion elevate your senses. Like the man himself, Johnny’s music is spiritual and romantic. He possesses a profound, engaging warmth. With his horn, he gives you his heart! Johnny is truly one of the fewest authentic original entertainers that performed for many years on Bourbon Street and many, many other clubs and venues in the New Orleans area. He continues to amaze all who hear his performances and continues to credit God for his wonderful gift!
Department of Eagles' awesome collection of lost recordings, Archive 2003-2006, is out today! Consisting of recordings from incomplete album and other recording sessions pre-dating the band's tour de force album In Ear Park, as well as member Daniel Rossen's work with Grizzly Bear, Archive offers a glipse at a brilliant act in its lean, formative stage. Available everywhere, including here.

Check our schedule and make sure to come out to the Ride In To Faith this Friday night at 7pm! We're really excited to play this event at Colyn's home church. We've got new equipment to try out and we're rehearsing new songs. Come on out to lend your support to a great event!

On Sunday evening we played a 30 minute set at the Dane County Fair in Madison, WI. I must say, they had a VERY nice setup there. They had some really professional sound gear, pro video with screens up to see the close up shots, big stage, lighting, the whole ball of wax. Very nice! Thanks to Michelle Green and the entire staff of "Out of the Box" Ministries for organizing the entire concert series.
It's tough to play the last day of the fair, and in the evening, no less. The crowd was very small, but enthusiastic. Seventh Day Slumber played to about 50 people. A NATIONAL act played to a tiny crowd in that place, but they played it and did an awesome job.
We hope to see a bigger crowd at the "Ride Into Faith" in Janesville, WI. It's being held at Faith Community Church, if you're interested, and we'd love to see you come out. If you have a motorcycle, ride it in...we'd like to have a bunch of bikes there for this event, but come even if you walk, ride a bicycle, or drive a car...it's gonna be a lot of fun! There'll be a jumping house for the kids, live music....from us!, and food will be available as well. Things start around 7pm, music starts at 7:30, Friday, July 23rd.
So, we have had most of the new equipment for a couple of rehearsals now. We have the subs on the way, and we had to buy a new snake as well, so that will be coming soon. Just about the only thing we haven't replaced are the main speakers and the trailer...and we are considering replacing both of those in the near future as well.
The new gear is pretty nice, but we are in a learning frenzy to try to get this stuff mastered enough to do a relatively quick setup. I think we have the mechanics of it down now, but we need to come up with a system with assigned tasks for each of us to make it roll more smoothly. We'll get to that soon...but we're pretty busy playing right now and trying to add songs for some longer sets.
So, the good thing is that we are playing quite a bit right now, the challenge is being able to rehearse and get better and also get more people to the shows. We're working on both and praying the Lord will continue to bless the work we're putting in. God bless y'all
