5.28.10 - THANK YOU!
First and foremost, a huge collective THANK YOU for such an amazing turnout and show last Sunday at the Watermark!! The silent auction was a total success, and we had such a great time with you all!! Thanks to everyone who got into the bidding and to each and every one of you for your incredibly generous donations to the band and the process. We are just beside ourselves with love and appreciation for our fans, friends, and family. In all seriousness, you're the absolute best. We're really excited about this new record, and now we have the means to finish it and take a huge step forward. It's been an amazing process making this one, and we've learned so much about ourselves as a band, as brothers. We're looking forward to rewarding you all for your kindness and will be putting our brains together tonight to brew up something special. Love for our auction donors - Brad Windsor, Jon Nelson, Stacey Millett, Candy Millett, Bonnie Raitt and Get Right Inc., Ellie Richman and Bella's Beauty Bar, Polly and Steve and Zoey's Cafe, The Watermark restaurant, and Kara Twist Jones for her tireless preparation and running of the auction. You are all heroes to us. We will be sharing more anecdotes and updates soon
on all the auction winners. There promises to be some good stories.. SHADES of DAY @ ZOEY'S Coming up on Saturday June 12th... JONES FEST!

It's a statement that is generally defined by lovers. It's both mature and vulnerable. In a way that's what we are. We create something that moves you, a sound in which you fiercely connect, and in return we feel loved. The circle remains unbroken. We have created a body of work that we really believe in. Sessions began in May of 2009 at the Barn. We whittled 30 songs and unfinished ideas into 14, and began recording with producer/engineer Michael Dumas in Ojai at Audio International. It's been an amazing year, and we are nearly at the finish line. Which of course is also the starting line. Working with Michael has given us a big, honest, exciting sound to our songs, and we are seriously bursting at the seams to share them.. We are done recording, but we have a couple more steps. Mixing/Mastering
and Art/packaging. It isn't a backbreaking amount of money, but
is certainly more than we have. We put our heads together and decided
we would ask you for help. In return, we will also help you in the
specific ways that we can. See below: 5.11.10 - Molly MalonesHey Everyone!! Just a quick reminder that tonight, Tuesday May 11 we will be at Molly Malones on Fairfax.
