Hello!
Like many of our planet's animals, I feel like I have been in hibernation most of this winter. Although, while I have stayed very close to home, my activities have not been dormant. It has been a winter of learning audio engineering, production, and doing graphic design. . . and at the end of this winter, and the coming of spring, comes my new CD, ILLUSIONS.
ILLUSIONS contains 14 tracks. I have had the great fortune to capture the talents of Michael Hsu on violin, jubal, on percussion, Scott Ainslie on slide guitar (Dress Code), Robin Cape on bass (Dress Code), and Casey Buchanan - yes, my 12 year old daughter- on flute. In addition to vocals, and playing guitar, I add bass and even a few percussion tracks. 11 of the racks are original music, but I have also included (Grace Slick's) White Rabbit, (George Harrison's) While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and (a traditional Celtic song) She Moved Through The Fair. I was lucky enough to have Brent Lambert at the Kitchen master the CD. His reputation for excellent work is very deserving.
THE CELEBRATION
May 5th, 2002 (Cinco de Mayo)
McGregor Village, Cary
7 pm - 10 pm
$5
Opening the show will be Meghan Cary (NYC), Brenda White (Boston) & Sarah Pinsker (Baltimore) who tour together as the City Girls.
Door prizes will be drawn at various times in the night. We will be giving away many exciting prizes, including a print of the Illusions artwork. If you have not seen this, check out www.kimbuchanan.com/illusions.htm . In honor of Cinco de Mayo, there will be free chips and salsa, and Mexican drink specials.
We hope you will come and celebrate with us. In addition to releasing of the CD, we will be congratulating Michael Hsu's for graduating from Duke Med. School
Michael is a fantastic violinist who I have had the honor to perform with since July. Unfortunately, after graduating, he will be leaving the area, so this may be your last opportunity to see him perform with us.
Advance Tickets are now on sale. We are anticipating a full house, and to encourage you to reserve your tickets, I am offering you a bonus chance for the door prizes ( 2 chances per advance ticket). Also, If you would like to pre-buy your ILLUSIONS CD, you will receive another bonus chance for the door prizes. Just send $5 per ticket and $15 for CDs to Kim Buchanan, 315 Yarborough Road, Roxboro, NC 27573. Include your address, phone and email address.
