Hello Choir buddies -
I know we just emailed an update recently, but we had some server problems and wanted to be sure you had information on our upcoming live shows. You can find the confirmed dates below. We hope to add more shows in the days to come. Visit our website for updates.
Visit our messageboard too, where you can interact with other Choir pals and members of the band. Here’s an excerpt on one thread about the story behind the songs from Steve Hindalong.
I wrote How I Wish I knew about my daughter, Emily (wide eyed wonder girl). She was fourteen (She’s 16 now) and really depressed much of the time. She’s always been the melancholy sort, but was particularly down at that time. Marc came over one morning to write. Our plan was to come up with something for Caedmon’s Call or Sonic Flood but when Marc started playing that melodic picky guitar part (That’s Marc playing the acoustic on the album) I immediately began singing “When I see you falling…” with Emily in mind. Marc and I have written many songs together that I love — but I think How I Wish I Knew is my favorite. It’s the only song that wasn’t written specifically for the new album within a 3 week period.
By the way, Emily was just awarded a full scholarship to Simon’s Rock college in Massachusetts, a school for high achieving kids who will skip their last 2 years of high school and go straight to college early! We’re quite proud of her academic success…but mostly I care that she finds peace, love and joy — which can be elusive.
