Greetings Acoustic Music Fans!

Taarka is currently seeking volunteers to help spread the word about
upcoming shows
on our September tour (and beyond)... If you or anyone you know are
interested in
distributing posters or handbills, please drop us a line (email@...
or
taarka@...) & we'll be glad to send you everything you'll need.

In exchange for volunteer help, the band is gladly offering free CDs and
guest passes to all
pertaining shows.

TAARKA is now very happily in the final phases of mixing & mastering our new
CD. If all
goes according to plan, the (yet unnamed) masterpiece should be available
sometime in
mid-October. We'll be sure to keep you posted on the release date &
subsequent tour...

In the mean time, we're working on plans to tour down the West Coast more
regularly
& could definitely use your help with integral grass-roots publicity... The
more friends we
bring in to shows, the more quickly & gracefully we'll grow into venues that
are most ideally
suited for the music we perform...

We hope to hear from you & look forward to seeing you at these upcoming
shows!:
