The Duende Project

Tony was testing something new in Garageband, set a recent poem to a weirdly tuned six string ukulele track, and came up with this:  “How We Keep Time At This Age.”  Give it a listen…

Hey folks — just a heads up.  We will no longer be playing at the Canal District Artwalk in Worcester on August 13.    Still look for us at Nick’s on August 31, though….

As we move deeper into the recording process, we find ourselves looking for new ways to support the work.

While it’s not strictly a band project, Tony has recently set up a Patreon site to help support some ambitions he has for his writing.  Included in that, of course, is support for the band’s work…hoping to purchase some new recording equipment, for instance, and work on getting our music in front of new people.

If you’re so inclined, you can look at the site and learn more about Patreon in general here.  

We spent some time last week working on full-band versions of two of our signature pieces — hope to have them available for your listening pleasure in the next couple of days.

While you’re waiting, you can check out a couple of things other folks in the band are up to.  Links at the end of the post.

— Chris O’Donnell’s searingly hot cover band “Seed RaCeR” is celebrating its ten-year anniversary right now with bookings all over Southern New England. If you use Facebook, you can look them up there for all their doings.

— Steven Lanning-Cafaro is busy as all get out playing in like 80 different bands.  Latest to the roster are “Custard Pie” (a Led Zeppelin tribute band) and of course, metal masters “Let Us Prey.”

— Tony Brown published poems in Drunk In A Midnight Choir and in a new anthology called “Trumped,” which has nothing to do with the game of bridge.

Go check things out…new tracks soon!

“Trinity,” the feature film written and directed by Skip Shea which has a mesmerizing score by Faro and which also has a performance of “Trinity Tango” by Tony and Faro in the film, has continued to rack up awards and nominations on the festival circuit.

There’s a new Website up for the film.  Check it out here!

Just did a major update to our “Tracks” page to make it easier to purchase our music.

Click on “Tracks” above to go check it out…and please, PLEASE consider making a purchase or two. Individual tracks are a buck, the whole discography is offered at a 25% discount, and anything you purchase from us goes NOT to finance our lavish lifestyles, but will get plunged right back into keeping this project alive and kicking — recording expenses, equipment purchases, you name it.

As we say on the “Tracks” page, buying work from independent artists is important to keep us going and support us in the cold, cold world.  We hope you’ll find something you love there and drop a dollar or two our way.

Thanks!!!
