I almost forgot to mention this (lack of sleep) that September is our official CD release celebration month (can you say “Grand Opening”)!! We DIG the celebrating…wonder if we can hang virtual balloons and streamers?!
What a month!! In September our single, “Wedding Blues” that has been hand selected and passed through a rigorous listening committee, will be coming out on Prime Cuts of Bluegrass, we will have our CD release party (see post below), travel to Nashville to see many of our sorely missed friends at IBMA, and do a bunch of other things that we swear are really rad (like sleeping).
Wow, we have a month to celebrate! But what’s in the celebration for you, one might ask? Other than being able to catch a few shows and let us hang out with you, you can now get FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ROSEBUD BLUE CDS!!! Oweeieee! Hoop it up and holler it out!
FREE SHIPPING!? Yes, you heard it right, Friend. This is the month, today is the day (yes, we are gettin’ started early) to get your copy of Depending on the Glass.
We like to have some fun on the blog, as you might could tell, but on a serious note, we sincerely thank you for all of your support.
Well, the time has come (and we are SO excited!) for our CD release show at the Freight and Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley, California. What more could we ask for?? As 5 year olds we slept on the floor and ate the best brownies known to mankind at the “Freight” and now we are performing at our very own CD release party on the stage!! Boo-yah!
As part of the festive occasion, there will be a Ipod Shuffle door prize (with Depending on the Glass already loaded on it! - Far out!) in addition to a couple of other prizes, ALL wrapped up in a fun filled evening of stories, pictures and RoseBud Blue music.
The Band Scoop: Well, friends, you won’t want to miss Mr. Ed Neff sawing on the strings (duh, can’t miss that!)! AND our very own “Banjo Boy” will be making his way up from Arizona (yes, he is a devoted RBB band mate) to tear up the five-string. Get this…the one and only Matt Dudman will be punching out some hard-drivin’ mandolin playin’ to lead the evening to victory. Course, us “chicks” will be fronting the exciting celebration in full ball gowns (well, except for the ball gown part).
We had a GREAT time at this year’s California Bluegrass Association Father’s Day Festival. Seems like our new CD, Depending on the Glass, is off to a great start….I mean, having the opportunity to have our CD “hit the streets” while playing a huge festival that we grew up going to?! We are just pleased as punch!
We also want to thank everyone for coming out to our set. It means a lot to look out and see all of your smiling faces in that big crowd. AND how about that Del Williams Band??!! eh? It was such a treat to be able to sit back and enjoy their set. They are amazing and one of our favorite bands.
For everyone that wasn’t able to make it to the first release show, have no fear, there is much, MUCH more to come!! We have quite a few release dates coming up and many more in the works, and if all else fails, you can always pick yourself up a copy right here on-line. Ahhh, the internet is grand, friends!
Have a great day folks, and we will talk to you soon!
Ever wonder what “Chick-Grass” is? Maybe you are curious as to who produced our new album or what Ed Neff does when he is not recording. Now all (well, some) of your questions can be answered in a short movie about the making of our debut album. We hope that you join us in watching the video below.
Hey, we’re coming up on our CD release … and boy, are we excited!!
Growing up, Angela and I spent many a’ summer being entertained by the standing water in the ever-so-delightful Nevada County Fairgrounds’ resident pond, running away with the cloggers and barely escaping death in the Fairgrounds’ alluring-to-the-under-10-crowd “ditch” every father’s day. So, when it came time to figure out where we would hold our official CD Release party, we knew immediately the California Bluegrass Association’s Father’s Day festival was just the place for this exciting event!
RBB will be performing a short set of some of our songs from the new album, “Depending on the Glass” , Saturday evening at 5:50pm on the Vern’s stage (get there early, friends!). Have you heard of the Vern’s stage yet? This is a new stage at the Father’s Day festival that is honoring Vern Williams’ memory by “representing and moving forward the definition of California Bluegrass as Vern Williams did in his time.” Hey, that’s right up our alley!!
Adding to the recipe for a rockin’ CD release, we will be followed by one of bluegrass’s finest traditional singers today, Del Williams, and his new band. And this will be one of their first appearances. Uhhh….can you say, “entertainment”?!
We really hope that you can come join us, as 2 generations of the Williams family will come together to validate “Vern’s”, and that you might consider picking up your very own copy of our new CD “Depending on the Glass”, this coming weekend.
Yesterday we were able to make a quick appearance on KVMR’s Saturday morning Bluegrass show hosted by the one and only Eric Rice. (Thanks, Eric!)
This was the first time we heard our music out on the airwaves. Boy, it’s quite a weird feeling to hear your own music being played right along side of some of your heroes! Exciting.
Looks like next week Eric Rice will make his way out the California Bluegrass Association’s Father’s Day Festival and broadcast live from the fairgrounds. This is great! No matter where you are, you can tune into KVMR on-line and hear some of the great music being played there next weekend!
Let us be the first to welcome you to the new RoseBud Blue website. Here at the RBB headquarters, the elves have been extremely busy and we have some GREAT news!!
Yes, sir, RoseBud Blue is setting flight with a brand spankin’ new web site. Why a new website you ask? Well friends, we needed some way to start advertising a completed debut CD!!! OWWWWWIE!!!
Believe it or not, Depending on the Glass, RoseBud Blue’s debut CD, is on sale NOW! We are currently taking pre-release orders…oh and, we are super excited! You can pick up your very own copy right here. Order now and you can be the first kid on the block to have an autographed RBB CD (and picture!) delivered to your door in June 2008.
We hope you take a few minutes to look around. As we will continue to make improvements and additions, we hope you check back in soon. As always, we welcome any feed back and/or suggestions you might have.
