I've added a new mac to my list of gear! So, I'm rerecording some of my Grown Ups Now tunes when I'm home bored with the day off. There are presently two new rerecs of Love's not Fair, and Good for the Soul up on my MySpace. Also, I made them downloadable.

Upcoming, I'll be playing at Bodhi's Café and Lounge so come join us.

...I've added a few more tunes to the MySpace page. Enjoy.

It's been entirely too long since I've written here so here's a touch of what's going on:

You can check out Dan's MySpace for upcoming gigs. But notably, Brad and I are playing the BT's RWC homecoming coffeehouse from 8-10pm on Monday the 25th of Sept.

Most recently, Tommy has moved back in town which clearly means good times in the jamming and performing realm. Brad, Tommy and I got together for a show at SPoT coffee last Sunday. we opened for and ended up playing with Mr. Daniel Ball, Jr. which was entirely more fun that I deem healthy on a given Sunday night.

Tonight we found ourselves playing Leaf & Bean in Chili. Mostly covers, but a good time nonetheless. Sidenote: if you go there, get the chocolate/peanutbutter blenderita. The owner of L&B got together with Ben and Jerry's peanutbutter guy. Enough said.

Next in line, we're looking at doing some gigs at Boulder Coffee, Monty's Corner, SPoT and L&B again.

I'm currently beginning a new wave of music fo myself. I'll be joinging up with Shawn Berry and writing some stuff for him and hopefully producing as well. Daniel Ryan Band's not dead...watch here for updates.

Greetings all.

Neck Tie Fiction is on hold for a bit. We're going to work a bit more on new tunes as well as spend some time doing our day jobs, saving money, and living life in general. You'll be able to find Brad and Dan giggin around Rochester in coffeehouse settings as well as assorted weddings.

Brad's and my first wedding gig together was a blast and we are looking forward to our next one in August. My new sound gear will allow small sessions in and around Rochester and small events. For more gig info this summer, keep up here and on www.myspace.com/danielryanband.

The "NeckTie Fiction" project is on hold until May when we hope to go into the studio to crank out some more tunes. Right now opera is keeping me quite busy. Catch you again in late April for studio prep!

We went back in the studio after two months off. We took plenty of time prior so we could attack the new tunes efficiently. Our plan was a success. We finished four tunes in two days:

5K
Lights Up
Sleepy Valentine
Blue Jeans for Khakis
