While in Nashville, we had the opportunity of meeting with a number of people including the fine folks at Country Weekly magazine. Here’s a picture of us with Larry Holden, the executive editor. Strangely enough, we ran into a few people who had actually attended our shows in Minnesota.

This past week we spent some time in Nashville, exploring more business opportunities, but most importantly, taking a much needed photo shoot to update our overworked current pictures. We had a great time on this particular shoot, and we think we ended up with some decent shots. Hopefully you feel the same. Special thanks to Michealle Vanderpool and UAL for making us look acceptable, keeping in mind what they had to work with.

Hey everybody,

Just went down to check on the progression of our holiday concert set…..it’s gonna be cool!  For those of you who have never seen our holiday show-the set alone will be worth the ticket, but possibly catching a glimpse of Mark in tights is the icing on the cake!

For those of you out there that have seen our holiday show and have been e-mailing me and asking at shows….yes, Plastic Santa will make an appearance, yes, we’re sure you’ll see some tights, and yes, Jared will still look as goofy as ever…..seriously.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and we hope to see you soon!

We are in the midst of an August that, although busy, signals the end of summer to us. Wrapping up the month with state fairs and festivals, even hitting an a cappella festival in Utah, seems to propel us faster and faster towards Christmas. Now every time we drive by a lake and see skiers, I count the possible amount of days I have left on the water. Of course, I am also counting how many more Starbuck’s coffees Jared and I can win from Mark and Greg before our holiday tour starts. Last year, we had enough wins to last us through the tour and if you get a chance, you should ask Mark or Greg how their 500 game is progressing. Ever played? Very fun… if you win all of the time. And if you have a teammate like Jared, you will. Mark and Greg’s Christmas wish is most likely to never bet on a card game again.
I am sure you have read some of the latest news, but I am most excited about our Emmy nomination… our tour opening with Richie McDonald of Lonestar… our latest CD to be released with our latest PBS special… and, of course our teaming with Blue Bunny Ice Cream (who wouldn’t be excited about that). For those of you who I talked with at the last few shows, “Something Beautiful” and “If I Can Dream” are both part of the CD as well as “One of Those Days” and “Very Same Place.” Til next time,

Thanks to our new fans at Stampin’ Up which we met at convention in Salt Lake City. We had a great time and have seen a number of you since at our recent shows in the midwest.  We’ve read quite a few of your blogs and email relating to our performance, and appreciate the kind words. We wish you continued success, and look forward to seeing many of you again in the near future.

Not only is this the place to check on the latest Tonic Sol-fa news, but now you can read and discuss what’s going on in our lives. The guys and I will post here from time to time. Feel free to share your thoughts and comments as well.

We’ve moved most of our Xanga blog to this page, and will cease posting on Xanga from here on out.
