Lead chick C @ Espresso Yourself (OM) Tuesday - 6/16


Hi All -

Lead chick C here. Just wanted ya'll to know that I'll be stopping by the Open Mike at Espresso Yourself on 6441 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19135 on Tuesday, 6/16. It's the first time that I'll be there since January (gosh time flies) so I'm really looking forward to seeing some old friends.

The really exciting part is I'll be showcasing TWO new songs for the first time in public. I've been on a bit of a songwriting frenzy and wrote both of these within the last several days. The first one is called "Temptation" and is an up-beat tune and the REALLY new one (less than 24 hours old) is a haunting ballad called "Roll On", which I can only tell you that I feel awed that it came out of my guitar. So come on out and check out the new tunes and say hello. Hope to see you there. Espresso Yourself - 7pm 215-333-1212

Gigs and shows and songs, oh my!

Yeeeee haw Talismaniacs!

We're barely into 2009 and it is already shaping up to be a busy one! Talisman the band is THRILLED to tell you that we are continuing to create & put together new music and are fine-tuning our sound. We are practicing very regularly and are truly becoming (as Jim put it) "a well-oiled machine". There is nothing quite so thrilling as a great song, played well by a group of good friends.

Speaking of new music, you MUST get out to hear our newest song WALK AWAY (I can only say that for a limited amount of time yet since we have a yet-unnamed tune hot on its heels). It rocks so good it will kick your arse to California. WALK AWAY is an absolute showcase for our "sound".

If you want to hear WALK AWAY, plus the other new ones, old favorites and, of course, the music from our CD The Wicked World's Come of Age, here are your opportunities (MORE TO COME)...
