Michael Bellar/the AS-IS Ensemble will release their new CD “Turned On Turned Up,” on September 15th 2009. Yes yes, it’s been way too long but oh my it’s good. Couldn’t be happier about it. It’s gonna be available pretty much everywhere thanks to the good people at MRI/RED. We are going to be doing a CD release tour that includes shows in NYC at DROM on Sept 15th and opening gigs for Medeski, Martin Wood and Tea Leaf Green?!?!?!?
