Hello fans!
Hope everyone is enjoying beautiful weather in the Northeast USA. Not sure how it is elsewhere. Today, Sunday, at 4pm ET, if you are in your car or by the computer, I will be a guest alongside our fellow Wednesday-night band the Klezwoods on Dana Westover's WUMB (91.9FM Boston) radio show entitled "Folk Odyssey." You can listen online too; see the top left corner of the Folk Odyssey page. A small Klezwoods group will perform some klezmer live (myself on doumbek and riq) and I might play a track or two of the Orchestrotica Mini's demo and maybe even some Esquivel big band cuts.
Reminder: Orchestrotica Mini show this Wed, June 30 @ 8pm
Opening for the jew-jazz sounds of the Klezwoods. Hey, that’s their self-given tagline not mine! The Orchestrotica Mini starts the night off at 8pm with one long set of original music by Mr. ho, and exotica classics. Please RSVP to the Facebook event and "Like" us if you like us! Permalink
Album update
It's official: a full-length album will be tracking the last weekend of July 2010! We're shooting for a fall release of fresh, new exotica music by Mr. Ho and performed by the wonderful talents of Geni, Noriko, and Jason. Additionally, if we're able to get a quorum, the entire big band will also spend an evening recording as much material as possible from our repertoire! Very excited to get this project underway. If you'd like to help us underwrite the recording, note that we will be creating some brackets and donation ranges. Originally, we wanted to make this a bit more flexible/organic on a personal basis, but we understand from some of you that perhaps firm contribution amounts and rewards would be helpful. Got ideas? Let us know! Just hit reply.
Street team and assisting in the recording
We're looking for some help with promoting shows on the street, flyering the town, and getting the word out about shows. Additionally, we may be looking for an assistant to help out with logistics for the recording project as well. If you'd like to help us out, hit reply.
Until next time, enjoy the summer and have a cocktail (we're drinking our best imitation Mai-Kai Special Reserve Daquiris),
