just to let you know what's up with us all, and to send you to the latest and greatest in music from the FiddleSticks Family.
FiddleSticks Update:
1 - Becca's loving life in Hawaii. They've just moved to Kauai, and she says they love it. She recently found a recording studio and put down some tracks for Liz's project (more about that later). Hopefully she'll be back in the studio soon, and we'll get some more of Becca on our next CD project, via long-distance recording.
2 - Katie's enjoying life as a travelling vagabond. With her fiddle strapped to her backpack, she's now in Peru, and headed next week to Brazil. On the itinerary are South Africa, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Serbia, France and Holland. Just before she left she recorded several tunes for the new CD. She and her well-worn hiking shoes should be back stateside by the middle of May!
3 - Liz is in her last semester at Berklee in Boston. She's finishing up her senior project that has involved writing and recording a great variety of very cool new tunes. The rest of us FiddleStickers have joined her by long-distance recording, and it has been lots of fun. We're hoping by the end of 2009 to have a new FiddleSticks CD ready to launch. But if working on her own stuff wasn't enough, Liz has also started a new very cool group -- it's called "Folk Arts Quartet" and it's a funky combo of folky fiddle/cello music fused with the form of a traditional string quartet.
New Free Music to Stream:
Speaking of the Folk Arts Quartet, here's a link to some of Liz's current music:

Their Myspace page also lists their busy upcoming performing schedule. If you're in Boston or in Memphis, be sure to get to one of their shows.
FiddleSticks Album Deals:
In the run up to our new CD release later this year, we're going to offer periodic "clear the shelves" deals. Here's the first:
1. Ampersand for Valentines: Two for One!
Right now, through February 14, our Pearl-Award winning Ampersand CD is our twofer special - that is, buy one, get one free. Go to our website http://fiddle-sticks.com/Ampersand.html and click on "Add to Cart" and buy one Ampersand CD (just select "1" as the quantity) -- then send an email to orders@... and tell us that you're ordering the twofer special and you want us to ship TWO for the price of ONE. And we'll send it right out. (Or you can print the paper "Mail Order" form, and send us payment for one CD, but write on the order that you want Two Ampersands!
2. Cassettes for Free!
Does anybody still have cassette players? There has to be somebody out there -- maybe your grandma? Or the 1995 car that you're still driving (like mine!) If so, you're in luck, because we have a lot of "vintage" FiddleSticks albums on cassette. Namely, Playing Favorites and Cold Fusion. If you want them, they're yours, for just the price of the postage. Print out the paper "Mail Order" form (at fiddle-sticks.com/FSOrder.html) and enclose $1 for each TWO cassettes you order.
Thanks! and happy listening!
