Hey Folks!

We took a little time off over the holidays, but now we're back at
one of our favorite venues!  We're also celebrating Soderfest!  (my
30-something, ahem 35th, birthday)  We hope you can come out and
support the show and this great venue.  We'll probably head out to
one of the local eateries afterwards, and we'd love for you to join
us there too!

Taunia,

Congrats!  Sounds like your group is really doing well.  Sorry I haven't
been able to get out to see you, but I hope to before I leave.  I'll be
moving to NY this June.  We've already put a deposit on a house, and I
got a pretty diamond ring for my birthday this past weekend!

Hey All,

For those of you who didn't attend the Boston Regional Harmony
Sweepstakes this weekend, we just wanted to let you know the good news!

We won the AUDIENCE FAVORITE vote, and were also awarded 2nd place as
the runners-up in the competition!

We sang some of our new tunes and even got a bunch of pre-orders on
our new CD!

So that's the scoop.  Happy Spring to everyone!

Cheers,
Taunia

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to let you know that Vote For Pedro will  be performing
this upcoming weekend with some other rockin' groups at Vocal Band
Aid 2005.  This show is organized and produced  by Boston's own
Intergration By Parts and it's purpose is  one that is near and dear
to our hearts:  to raise money for music education in the schools.

It's a cause we feel is quite worthy of our time and support, and we
hope you'll feel the same and come out to support the show!

Saturday, October 8th @ 7:30PM
The Somerville Theatre
Featuring:  M-Pact, Vote For Pedro, Similar Jones, Downtown Crossing,
and Intergration By Parts
www.vocalbandaid.org
www.somervilletheatreonline.com
www.pedroband.com

We're really excited to be performing and premiering some new music
at this show, and  we're looking forward to sharin' the love and
support of music education with you!

Cheers,
Taunia & The Boys from Vote For Pedro

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello and let you know about all the
crazy-cool new stuff we've got going on.  I  think  crazy-cool made
me sound like a dork, but still....here it is:

1)  We've got LOTS of new material!!  If you stop by the Vocal Band
Aid gig at the  Somerville Theatre at 10/8, you'll be able to hear
some of it while supporting a benefit for a great cause:  music
education in the schools!  You can check out their website at
www.vocalbandaid.org.

2)  We're now booking our education and artist residency programs!
Know of a school that might be interested in having us?  (K-12 and
college/university level)   Feel free to pass along our new brochure
(found in the FILES section) or drop me a line at  pedroband @
gmail.com.

3)  Since I'm pimpin' out everything else,  may as well pimp out my
new voice studio brochure too.  Interested in voice lessons? Check
out my brochure - also in the FILES section.

We've  got some great gigs coming up and a new recording is in the
works.  Hope to see you all soon!

Cheers,
Taunia / Vote For Pedro

Well, folks, we came in as FIRST RUNNER UP in last night's season
finale of The Tribe's Bestest Variety Showdown!  We were beat out by a
great bellydancer (named Zeliana, I believe).  You just can't beat
naked, shakin' skin!

We had a great time,  though, and thanks for the support we got.   Stay
tuned for some great new promos we're going to have to keep the Vote
For  Pedro ball rollin.

Cheers,
Taunia, Ben, Shah, & Brian / Vote For Pedro

Hey kids,

I just wanted to say congratulations on your win on Friday night!
Good luck in the next round!

Have fun!
Jennifer

Last Friday (8/12) we competed in the Boston Best Variety Showdown
presented by the local improv troupe "The Tribe."  With a combination
of judges vote and  audience applause, we won first place!

This coming Friday, we return as last week's champs to defend our title
against other season winners.  If you're looking for a great show, come
on out and help us out with some yelling and clapping!  We hope to see
you:

Friday, August 19th
Buzz - 67 Stuart St, Boston MA (the Theatre District)
8:00 -  Tix $10
Show start with Thomas in Wonkyland, followed by Variety Showdown

Thanks!
