Last week The Turn (aka Brian and Pat) were asked to go back to WMJC radio station to play some of their new songs for the radio execs and do some promo/music recording for their shows. Of course I tagged along to document the day (*just to clarify that I am not a total groupie (which I kinda am), I was hired to come along and take pictures. Like for work. Really!) While the recording portion of the day didn’t work out as planned as the facilities weren’t available, the intimate concert for the execs worked out great. Brian and Pat played a bunch of their new songs (which TOTALLY ROCK by the way) and all the "audience" were pretty much rivited. The new material is just so great- and I can’t wait to hear it again. I think they made a really great impression, which can only help in their progress.

And I have to add that Pat sang some on a few of the new songs and it was SO GREAT!!! I’ve only heard his voice in snippets here and there as backup but in a few of the new ones, he sings solo (not the whole song, but parts) and is just awesome! They sound so good together. It still amazes me everytime I hear them play- that they write all their own music & lyrics, play so well, and sing so incredibly. It’s a ridiculous amount of talent between them. Can’t wait to be photographing them on the big stages! Someday soon.

In 2009 as part of my restructuring, I will be offering storyboards as part of packages and also as ala carte items. I made the boys one each for their birthdays, and so I could show them as samples. The storyboards for the Turn measure something like 20×40" and have 10 pictures on each. They came out so cool. I think they were pretty happy with them, huh?

Next for the band– heading back into the studio soon to record their new album. I hope I will be invited to play groupie take pictures while they are there, even just so I can listen to the new songs again! You guys are the best. Only good things for you!
