1) **Special Announcement**
Some of you already know this; it is time to make it official. The Robin Renée band as it has appeared over the last year is no longer. Bassist Evan Danziger has left to pursue his own creative works, and Cyndee Lee Rule is busy playing space rock violin for several artists this summer and is hoping for more of the same. Due to health issues, drummer Kevin McDevitt has needed to take time away. Thankfully, he is recuperating well, but will need some rest and relaxation away from the kit. I am doing fine, quite busy with planning upcoming shows, writing journalistically and creatively, and envisioning what the next incarnation of musicians will be about. I am optimistic, and definitely pleased that this band ran its course and devolved relatively painlessly. So unless otherwise noted, shows will be me flyin' solo. So we'll see what's next... Anyone know a good tabla player?! :-)
