TSF looks ahead

Holiday tour 2011 over.  Check.  Santa showed up.  Check.  Rang in the New Year with great crowds in St. Cloud.  Check.  Plastic Santa put back in shed until next holiday season.  Check.  Washed and returned tights, had some lovely time off to spend with my family, and am geared up and ready to go for 2012.  Check, check, check.

As I look out the window at this ridiculously gorgeous January (May) Minnesota day, I have time to contemplate my 2012 resolutions.  Wait, have I really made any yet?  Sort of.  Still deciding which ones I will actually stick to so I don’t feel like a complete failure by next week…..any more than usual that is.  Jared, you know what I’m talking about.

Looking forward to getting the shows in the new year off to a rocking start (as rocking as a cappella gets that is), learning and writing new songs, meeting new people on the road, and generally making 2012 the best year yet!  That’s the plan anyway.

In the meantime, we would love to see all your smiling faces at as many concerts as possible this year, and for those of you who have only checked out our holiday shows in the past, come on out and see one of our non holiday ones as well……trust me, I’ve seen them, they’re worth it!

And, who knows, maybe by that time, I’ll still have stuck to those resolutions.  Or not.  Oh well.

I was asked on Monday what I thought TSF’s image would be and I stopped.  Were we the “boys next door” or Midwestern vocalists?  Soulful? Innovative?  Quirky?  Did we push envelopes or play it safe?  Were we at the top of a genre or somewhere in the middle?  Humorists remembered for a lawn ornament?  Underrated?  Overrated?  How would our friends, family or fans describe us in a tweet to someone without seeing a picture or hearing a song?
People typically relate very short stories to others about someone who is not familiar.  Typically these colorful anecdotes follow a similar vein… “My Grandmother always dresses in orange pantsuits” or “Our third grade teacher was that guy with a lisp.”  Hmmm… Tonic Sol-fa in 10 words or less?
