Friends and readers of my blog…
I am pleased to announce that my American roots music band, the Mo Bottom Project, will release our long-anticipated first CD this October. Titled “Well Traveled Road,” the collection is 11 original songs that span some of our favorite musical genres from Americana/folk to bluesy old-time rock ‘n’ roll and are lyrically inspired by the history, landscape and stories of the Missouri River Valley near where we live and grew up. These are stories of out-of-luck farmers, young lovers, old men in even older houses, flooded roads, and the car cruisin’ culture of the ‘60s and ‘70s. (Though not specifically religious, we’d like to think these are songs of faith and redemption…)
We need to place our order pretty soon, so here’s where you come in. We’re not asking for any money upfront, but if you’d like to reserve a copy or two, please leave a comment below or shoot me an email at givenscreative@gmail.com and we’ll let you know when they arrive. Shipping overseas is not cheap, but we’ll figure out a way if you’re willing to pay the postage.
If you’re local to us in St. Louis, we’re planning a CD release concert on Saturday, October 22 at Walter’s Walk in Hazelwood.
Many thanks from all of us (Steve Givens, John Caravelli, Phil Cooper, Gerry Kasper and Pat Dillender) for supporting us over the years and coming out for our all too infrequent performances. We’re hoping that changes and we’ll see you soon.
