To our Braddigan Family:

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the rest of Braddigan's fall tour (all shows between 10/29-11/15) due to some minor scarring found on his vocal cords. We anticipate that Braddigan will fully recover his voice resting up over the next few months and we will certainly make every effort to reschedule all tour dates for the spring. As always thanks so much for standing with us, and please now more than ever keep playing it LOUD! Stay tuned to Braddigan.com for updates.

One of our photographer friends, Eric Kelley, just launched a cool new project called Wall Blank. The site features new limited edition art everyday that will be available for one week or until it sells out. And on Fridays, the site will feature a no-profit print where 100% of the proceeds will go to the nonprofit of the artist's choice.

Fresh Perspective is the first no-profit print, with all proceeds going to Love Light & Melody. It's available in a limited edition of 100 prints. If you buy one, Wall Blank will print two and send 'em your way. Or if you want, they'll send the second print as a gift from you to anyone in the USA for free! And 100% of your money will go to LL&M... pretty cool huh?

Buy a print today and show your support...

Our friends Deron Triff and Alex Hofmann, co-founders of Changents, were featured this week on ABC News. Changents is a new social networking site that connects innovators on the front lines of social and environmental change with the people who want to help them. Deron and Alex talked about Brad Corrigan's work in Nicaragua and as a featured Change Agent on their site.

"We need our beacons of light. We need our Change Agents. They are living proof that we can change and examples of where we need to go. Let's share their stories, back their efforts, join their teams, carry them forward, pick them up when they fall... protect them. We need them, and they need us. On dark days it seems nearly impossible to imagine... but we can change. We can change."

greetings from Colorado... we're deep in a recording studio just finishing up our new record, and it has been one heck of a ride! we've been in here 12 out of the last 13 days working long burn hours, but loving every minute of it as the record has been taking shape... 12-16 hours a day focusing in on sounds, words, melodies, rhythms... recording is always such a time warp, but it's really cool once you hit your stride!

so we're into our last few hours and then that's it, the record is done! it's 1 am right now and we're putting a few more tweaks to all the mixes... tiago is asleep on the couch, rey is getting lost playing one of his congas in the big room, and i'm up here in the office perch typing away listening to the songs wafting up the stairs... such a cool place to be right now reflecting on what has been one of the most exciting few weeks of my life...

ok, now it's 325 am! had to take a bit of a break and go play some drums w rey... in the meantime our engineer, brad jenkins, is still grinding away on mixing Solace, the last of our work. unreal, how much goes into some songs and how easy others are... so last night some really good friends, and my parents, came into the studio to listen to some of the songs and celebrate- then we got everyone into the big room and around a room mic, everyone picked up one of rey's percussion toys, and then we all sang the end of Fist in the Ocean together... it's a sweet laid back reggae tune with a crowd singin' ending :) was so fun to be jumpin' around the room and watching some friends get their first recording experience, and they were solid i have to say!

so far my favorite mixes are "Five for Rose," because of Rey's insane drum solo against all our cut time changes... and "Valeu Valeu" is a funny little surprise too, a sort of brazilian jam that Tiago was smiling to throw down :) we also ended up with a totally unexpected song a few days back called "On the Mend"...

alright i've got to head down there to listen to Solace! brad just gave me the call....

610 am... we're still here- found a harmonica at 430 am that we'd been looking for forever and did a last minute take... now we're trying to pack as fast as we can and get the songs in the sequence... yikes man, and then to the airport to drop off our engineer/producer who has just worked a 19 hour day??

this is nuts... but for some reason we all still love it- some of the craziest moments inspire the best music...

720 am... it's over, we're done... CD in hand, but we really have no idea what we've done... the last few days have just been a blur- and such a wild ride where the days just melted into one another... BUT, who knew that 10 songs would come together in 12 days?! rey, tiago, and i are super stoked... finally we have our first album together as a band, and now we can sleep :)

can't wait for the music to be heard... it's coming...

blessings, bc
