The Brothers have had a busy couple of weeks as they made their way across the country. They played a few shows in eastern Washington last week, heralding their return to the West Coast, at Valhalla in Pullman, Bucer's in Moscow, and The Coug in Pullman. Since their grand return they have begun recording their second album, which is scheduled to be released in late May. They are taking their time and have scheduled three more recording dates this week, in addition to three or four more dates next week. We are hoping to organize some of a CD Release Party at their gig at St. Cloud's in Seattle on Thursday, May 21 (which also happens to be Nat's birthday).
We have begun working on new promotional materials, the effort being spearheaded by the digital graphic talents of Kainoa Correa, a UPS student. He has a done a fantastic job thus far--he has created a really original piece of art for them that incorporates Celtic and Native American influences. It will debut along with the release of their latest album.
In other news, we are working on tackling summer bookings and are hoping to have them play at a slew of West Coast festivals. This summer they will be sticking strictly the West Coast--and we do mean coast. The band has decided it belongs next to the sea. Of course, this doesn't mean they won't be making appearances back in Boise and the like (those cities that have pledged allegiance to the Brothers).
The Brothers are focusing most of their efforts on recording at the moment and getting organized for the summer and are looking forward to ramping up their summer tour. Keep checking the calendars posted on the MySpace, Facebook, and ShoemakerBrothers.com for updates--they will no doubt be playing somewhere near you very soon!
