Hey gang,
After 3 long years in the making, my band the Kindreds has finally released our first CD. This has truely been a labor of love. We funded almost the entire thing with money as it trickled in from gigs. It was always a balancing act between cash flow and work/family priorities. It represents a tremendous personal accomplishment for me and the rest of the band. When I started playing mandolin in 91, my aspiration was to get to the point where I could perhaps make it through an open mike performance or something like that. It pays to play with good people though - it really helps you develop! I have also learned a tremendous amount from all of you.
Anyways, the CD is on CDbaby:
http://cdbaby.com/cd/kindreds
We have guitar, mandolin, bass and a little fiddle and 3-part vocal harmonies. Most of the songs were written by the guitar player, but I did write the 1 instrumental that we recorded (when you fly).
You can listen to most of the songs right on the CDbaby site. I am not trying to advertise to sell, but rather to share what we have accomplished and hear any impressions or feedback you might have.
Best Regards,
Rob
