Aloha Reader !

We had a great time at the JP Music fest with the trio this last weekend; thanks to Rick Berlin and all the volunteers who put that together!

Now, I'm moving on to ironing out our Feb 2026 quintet tour. We won't be touring a lot in the 25/26 period, but we do have an upcoming Feb 7 date in Panama City, FL and are planning to go to Geni's hometown (Birmingham, AL) and want to also stop in Atlanta, GA - and that's where you come in!

While BHM is in the works, some of our original plans for ATL didn't come through so we're looking for your suggestions. The best types of venues for our quintet are usually house concerts, jazz clubs, PAC/black box theaters, the occasional tiki joint, and listening-oriented performing arts spaces. ~100-300 capacity or smaller is ideal.

Got ideas?

If you'd like to host us in ATL, refer us, or sponsor a concert there, please hit reply and let me know. Your reply goes right to my inbox.

Can you help with our vinyl box set?

We're looking for some advisory help on manufacturing and design-related questions for our vinyl box set. If you have worked on packaging before and think you might be able to help, please hit reply.

About our vinyl box set project:

We've been asked about vinyl a lot - so we are working to release our entire back catalog of 3 albums on as a box set of 180-gram audiophile grade vinyl. Right now, we're in the design phase, and still getting quotes for packaging and manufacturing.

In 2025 (hopefully Fall!), we will launch a Crowdfunding campaign, and if fulfilled, we'll manufacture the box set. Patreon supporters will get early access as always. After that, we'll invite folks who have previously told us they're interested in vinyl via this email list. Then everyone else.

Interested in vinyl?

Tap the correct link to update your preference. ✔ = your current choice:

• ✔ Yes, I'm interested in vinyl, but new music releases only
• ​Yes, I'm interested in any vinyl, including this box set​
• ​No, I'm not interested in vinyl​

Special Sponsor Options + Bonuses:

Inside the box set, we're planning on including credits for our sponsors in a printed insert. If we beat our fundraising goal, we'll use that towards creating a Dolby Atmos mix as well.

Want insider updates on the whole project?

​Become a Patreon supporter, and note the new benefit: any Surround Sound fans who support us for 12 or more consecutive months will get a free copy of the box set automatically—shipped first!

We will also have a handful of very exclusive sponsorship opportunities for this box set as well; if you'd like to be considered for one of these before the official kickoff, just hit reply.
