My dear friend Heather Pennington recently shot us at the Emerald Theater in Mt. Clemens MI and was kind enough to send me one of her favorite images! I must say, I feel pretty cool in my clean sox!

why we do what we do for you!

1970's beauty that sounds like the heavens and plays like the devil! Muah!

TGF "Honest Man" Official Music Video

What's Going On?

Today is a good day, the 1st day of rehearsals! This studio feels amazing & sounds F*@!ing incredible. The energy it took to create the gracious tunes has been replenished, refined and renewed! I feel like we've been bred for this day, patiently waiting for this very moment and readying ourselves for the race of our lives, the horses are on the track!

The room is alive with the sounds of music and I feel just like Julie Andrews in that one movie, I mean I don't really feel like Julie Andrews I was just trying to say that I, it, this moment feels sorta like that moment in that movie about the Von Trapps where she's running through the grass singing about how great music is etc. and the kids are all there and its such a ridiculous example that I hope you all know I'm kidding but it still feels that cool!

There's nothing that can really explain how this feels you know? I mean it's kinda like, insert tongue in cheek, remember trying to explain to your best friend how the sex with that person you always wanted to have sex with was? Not that i want to have sex with these guy's but you know what I mean? Ok, now I'm just coming off as a f*@#ing kid in the background goin CRAZY! Just havin a laugh with you but honestly, we're that good!

Anyway, on to the real reason I'm writing to you today, just because you're you!

Captain tyin knots,

A GRACIOUS PHEW!

It's over, 9 months of patience, preparation & perseverance have paid off! "Honest Man" has dropped in the airwaves at the fall line, opened an account and looking so stylie even Spicoli wants in on the action! Whoa! Sorry, just watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High and got a little carried away, anyway as I was saying, The Gracious Few have finally released our first single and I gotta tell y'all, we are stoked. Exhale.

I can't believe it's been 9 months! I remember how long nine months felt when I was waiting for Jasper to pop his head out and say "hey dad, let's party," it felt like forever but this has been one of the fastest 3/4's of a year I've known EVAH! What a thrill it's been. From Lancaster to Yo RK to Newport Beach back to Lancaster jump to Sausalito off to Australia, back to Sausalito off to Miami & wrapping it all up in a nice little bow in New York City! AMAZING! We are truly blessed.

Now comes the fun part, SHOWTIME! Playing these songs live is going to be such a thrill and I tell ya, we got our work cut out for us. I'm picking up that jumprope today cause I am going to need to keep up with these rockers! I'm also really excited to take a stab at a few of these LIVE songs. We've picked some great ones as well as some off the wall covers that we hope y'all enjoy as much as we do!

Thanks everybody for letting us do this for a living, we couldn't do it without you ALL!

Ok, so it's been several weeks since I've been on here spilling my guts, fears, hurts, thoughts etc., did you miss me? I sure did, I mean really, sometimes I just miss me you know! Anyway, it seems that I may tend to go a little bit overboard and lose some of you in the maze of my words and quirkiness so I'll do my best to ease up on the mind boggling (insert smirk here) and creative writing skills I picked up at DeVry over the spring quarter. Just trying to have a little fun in this crazy mixed up world wide web.

Ok, so here I am in Miami mixing The Gracious Few record with the one and only TLA (look it up) and I cant begin to explain to you how grateful I am that I get to do what it is that I love, honestly, this is my day job? I'm in love with music, I love everything about it, it is so beautiful and cute, i love it on blankets & towels & little paper bags, Music Forevah!

Right, so back to what i was saying. Music, Dahlheimer, Gracey, Hennesy, Taylor, Jerry Harrison & Tom Lord-Alge, Mifamli! This music is like crack cocaine baby, believe me when i tell you this, you are going to be addicted to the sounds of The Gracious Few. You'll be like "Hi, my names (insert name here) and I'm A Gracious-holic." It's that F*@+!*$ good. TURN IT UP LOUD, is all i can say because my ears are ringing with the sound of MUSIC!

You ever turn a song up so loud that you blew your speakers out and still didnt give a shit that the song no longer sounded the same but was still amazing yet you couldnt figure out why it sounded different and for that matter why you even cared that it sounded weird you just kept trying to turn it up LOUDER?!?

Little secret here for those of you that may not know. If you put a 1000 watt amp in your car to power your stereo you wont blow the speakers and you can turn that shit up so crazy loud that you'll blow your windows out before the speakers blow! Please note, i will not be held responsible for repairs to your car, car windows, speakers or ears if you choose to put said amp in your car, it's just a suggestion!

As I was saying, Having a blast down here, Delano last night, 8oz, Dewey's, Van Dyke tonight etc. etc. etc. but most importantly this record! So much magic happening and it's only day 3. We've been found once, the rest of you must not be looking hard enough, and will continue to slip the hints. If you can find us you can rock with us so keep on searching, we aint hiding!

antes de que nosotros hablemos otra vez,
