The Duende Project

December 10, we’re at starlite, a cool bar in Southbridge MA…and we’re playing a full night’s worth of work.  Come prepared for a good time…!

Thanks to the good folks at Bandcamp, there’s a new feature if you want to check out our work, effective today: you can buy the ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY for the band at a 25% discount!  Five albums for less than 25 bucks!  We’ve started writing and recording our new album — our 6th! — so this is a GREAT chance to get the whole bundle at a low, low price.  

UPDATE:

Response so far has been very gratifying, but there’s a long way to go. Transport costs here are upwards of $25K, and he really, really needs to be brought back to the States for this level of care.  Anything you can do, even if it’s only passing this on to others, would be most appreciated.

Thanks again from all of us at The Duende Project.

Not something we like to do, but trying to get every little bit of opportunity taken care of here…

Drummer Chris O’Donnell’s brother-in-law Jon was very recently involved in a serious boating accident while on vacation — you can read the whole story at the link below.

He needs to be transported home ASAP for acute trauma treatment.  It’s not cheap to do that, and not covered by insurance. Transport has been arranged, but now it must be paid for…The link below gets you to a site which is trying to pull the funds together.

We understand that this is an unusual request, but if there’s anything you can do, it would be much appreciated.  Many thanks.

Help bring Jon home!

 

We had a TERRIFIC time playing at starlite in Southbridge MA last night.  Ripped a fine set of jazz, funk, and reggae-inflected rocklike musics and poems for a small but appreciative crowd in this new-ish performance space attached to a nice craft cocktail bar.

They liked us, we liked them — so much so that we’re ALREADY going back really soon — on Thursday, December 10 in fact.  You should come.  Really.

7 PM, starlite Gallery in Southbridge MA…full band will be on stage along with Ryan Kayhart and the “Cowboy” Matt Hopewell Trio, opening for C. J. Boyd.  Good chance to come see us if you’re in the area, and a new venue to us so hoping to see a few of you at least there…

We’ll be opening for multi-talented C. J. Boyd next Tuesday at the Starlite Gallery in Southbridge, MA.  Boyd is a bassist and vocalist who uses looping technology to create fascinating soundscapes.  We’re looking forward to this show.

Also on the bill:  old friend “Cowboy” Matt Hopewell and his trio, as well as others TBA.

Full details can be found on our Reverbnation page.

Just added our first show of 2016 to the calendar on Reverbnation — a duo gig (Tony and Faro) at the Sahara Restaurant in Worcester, MA on January 3.  Details to follow…!

Got a great take of the new track done!  Very happy with this one. It’s for a special project, so we’ll have to sit on a release of this one for a bit — but as soon as we can, we will get you a link to where you can hear it.

We are going back into recording mode today on that brand new track!  Ready to make it happen for a little project we can share in a few weeks.  Keep yer fan fingers crossed!

We got together and worked on a brand new piece today…always a good thing when the four of us are working on something we like.  Got a decent practice recording of it, too; something to help us figure out what we need to do to get a really excellent take of it in the future. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
