It's been a while, but we're back to work. I was actually away to the Dominican Republic working in the Haitian refugee camp that I lived in last year. I was there this past week, and the day we left while we were in Sosua, at around 5:30 local time we felt that earthquake the ruined Haiti. We didn't realize how catastrophic it was until we got home.
I've never been to Haiti, but I've spent a lot of time with the refugees in the Republic and their descriptions paint Haiti as a struggling, struggling country. They don't have tourism to rely on like the DR does. A lot of that is thanks to all the trees they've been cutting down to make charcoal. The homes are often not made with rebar to hold them together on the inside, the trees aren't there to prevent from mudslides and the government is so corrupt it's disgusting.
These people are on their own, but we can help. If anyone wants to run a benefit concert or dinner for Haiti than you can count us in.
On a side note, benefit concerts seem to be where we play the most these days. Drew Wright is supposed to be putting together a team of Canadian Idol finalists to play a fundraising concert for the Door in Collingwood and we'll be opening for that. Also, we might be playing a similar concert for the Door in Stayner. So if you have The Door in your community give us a call so we can open for your fundraising dinner.. it's what we do ;)
We're also back to work on the cd. We're anticipating an April release, but we want to make sure we don't rush it. So keep your eyes and ears open through April and May and support us by buying a cd.
Alright, that was my little check in. You'll be hearing from us (or not hearing from us, depending on whether or not you read these) a lot more frequently now. You've been warned :)
