Release Party on April 1st

As "Ellinwood Ranch Blues" is set to debut on April 1st, Blinded By View has decided to throw a party to celebrate the release. We are hosting this function at the Main St. Cafe in downtown Kentlands.
The Cafe serves a variety of exquisite foods and espresso drinks with a wonderful ambiance, including outdoor seating, which by the looks of it, we are going to need. John Bardi, our amazing guitarist, will be playing guitar through out the party and Jetsunma will perform one of the songs from the album, sans drums. So if you looking for something thing to do on April Fool's day please come out and celebrate with us!

Speaking of Ellinwood Ranch Blues...

Did I mention that we have a new album coming out April 1st? Well here, my friends, is the cover, a little taste of the gorgeous artwork Jane Middleton designed for ERB. But you got to get the real thing to see the booklet inside.

Jams Run Free

Music can be such a stress reliever, even more so when one is performing, jamming or composing. Last night Jetsunma invited BBV and our new Guitarist John Bardi over to her house for a jam session as a means to relax and decompress after this latest period of activity, bringing Ellinwood Ranch Blues to life, moving, and tending to matters beyond the scope of this blog. Since November we've been working tirelessly on this album. Although its been a pleasure doing so, it certainly has been a lot of hard work for everyone involved, so we were in need of a little jam to release some pressure. Last night we chilled out, laid back, and tinkered with some new ideas. John Bardi, who we've been working with since January, is a very talented guitarist, he is creative and excels at leading a jam. And last night he once again brought out some very interesting material and lead us through some great improvisations. These jams with John Bardi have been redefining, once again, the sound of Blinded By View. And because of this we are planning to return to Dakini Valley, AKA Ellingwood Ranch, in Arizona, to focus all of our attention on music in that isolated setting. A musical retreat, if you will, where we do nothing but create, record and jam. Last time we produced 12 songs in 15 days, who knows what could happen this time, especially after an amazing session like last night. We had some real gems come out of this jam, some real nice potential material is starting to bud, something marvelous could come out of another musical retreat.

Ellinwood Update

All of the songs have been mixed and sound fantastic. The artwork is done and looks gorgeous. And Jetsunma is excited. The Album will be released on April 1st. You'll be able to buy it on iTunes, Amazon.com and CDBaby.

And if you'd like to help us out, as the overhead on this one is quite substantial, you can pre-order a copy now. If you pre-order Ellinwood Ranch Blues now, we'll give you a CD of our brand new re-mixes from Delog produced by John Keenan of JCK Productions. Email us for more information.
