Hey ya’ll. It’s been such a creative time lately. Besides turning into a total comedy nerd and listening to a lot of Marc Maron, I have been working on a new set of recorded music that we are looking to release in the early part of 2012. I’m going on a train ride tomorrow so I just spun down all the roughs to listen to and as of now over 20 recordings of both new originals and covers that we have been performing of the last two years. Yikers-island!?!?!??! The covers range from Hendrix to the Fleet Foxes. Even a couple things that I didn’t think worked came out really great. Hold tight. I promise you I am working hard on getting these out there. One of the reason that I’m behind on all of that is because we recently produced our first video project. Seven more tunes there – playing live and basking in the light (literally) of my boy Brad Fields lighting direction. That cat makes me look I’m napping 24/7, but not on the video. Very lucky we could even make all the schedules work out and the project ALMOST got completely derailed by David Bowie and the ghost of Freddy Mercury. (More on that another time.)

Also had the opportunity to play with some of my favorite NYC musicians recently OUTSIDE of MY BAND. Opportunities like this might be the biggest reason that I’m still in NYC. Rhythm section madness with the likes of Solomon Dorsey, Andy Hess, Jesse Murphy and Shawn Pelton. Big fun.

We married of the Joster a few months back which was great and Wentworth is falling soon also. Luckily no calls to play in any wedding band just yet……

Gonna be playing some showcases in NYC in January for the APAP Conference. Those will be in the shows page. We will be gearing up BIG TIME with shows after the record is released. Stand tight and thanks for hanging in there with us.

I love making music with these guys so much. To Brad, Jost and Brook – here’s to 2012. Love, Bellar
