We’re having to put the brakes on our monthly releases for now. Rather than go into the juicy details as to why, we’ll try to create some drama and mystery by keeping quiet about it!

New video of Home by Martinez and Guthrie

3/2/10

Since our first video release we’ve been excited to receive requests to release a video for Home. Here it is! This video comes from the same night of recording we did for our last video, Where From Here. Don’t forget you can download the audio of this song for free here.

Thank You

2/23/10

We need to thank some people who have helped us get our music out there to be heard. A lot of effort goes into creating what you see and hear on our website and in our performances, and we haven’t done it alone.

This website would not be up and running if it were not for Nalini Sekhri Martinez and Mike Fisher. The hours, energy, and effort these two have spent are far too great to measure. Building a website is a painful process (Joe can tell you some stories) and Nalini and Fish built this website from the ground up. What you see is impressive enough, but we are equally impressed with how they did it. Thank you, Nalini and Fish, for all your hard work!

We are most fortunate to have a group of fine musicians behind us who make the music come alive in our performances. Denis Pachas (on drums), Andy Bailey (on bass), and Christopher Vann (on guitar) have gathered with us at the Forest on Sunday mornings for over a year now, working out arrangements of our tunes for our live shows. Their talent and professionalism are matched only by their generosity with their time and their attitude toward the music. Plus they’re fun to be around! Thank you Denis, Andy and Chris!

And where would we be without the endless support of our families and friends? Thanks to all of YOU. You know who you are.

I’d Say Go (from Joe)

12/28/09

A few words about the song I’d Say Go. It was originally written about a decade ago and has undergone some changes over the years. In the player below, you can hear the very first original draft recording I did of this song (c.1999). You’ll hear it’s come a long way.

Say Go (Demo)

I’d Say Go was originally going to be part of the Gathering Change release in ‘06, but it just wasn’t ready at that point…

First Video From Martinez and Guthrie

12/21/09

Our first video release is an acoustic duo performance of the song “Where From Here” from Gathering Change. The video comes from a session we recorded at The Forest (where most of the recording is done for all of our songs). Mike Fisher (Fish) not only shot the video but also recorded the audio and then edited all the video and audio…you’ll see he did a fantastic job!

Sheesh, Joe. I can’t believe I never replied to that heartfelt blog of almost a year ago. There you were, laying yourself open…countless tedious hours of writing, practicing, working out parts, laying down tracks…and now you were finally letting someone else hear them.

And my reaction was underwhelming…

Another Listen (from Joe)

12/04/09

The day after finally having 4 songs officially mastered and ready for the world, I went back and read the last blog I wrote, ‘A First Listen’ from almost a year ago. So, Gus, did you have some concerns about the songs back in January? Or maybe I should also be asking if you have concerns about them now! It wasn’t so much of a conscious decision, but…
