Happenings In Sconesland

Winter 2012
If you’ve checked our winter schedule you may have noticed that we are not performing a whole lot. This is all in the plan. We are focusing our attention on the new Strolling Scones album this season. Lots of new tunes, and with our recent barrage of radio airplay in the EU from our recent EP, it seemed that we had better get some new music out there in the world pretty soon. We are thrilled the way the new recordings are coming out so far.

After a couple of years gestation period, the Strolling Scones Musical has finally been completed. New York playwright, Lawrence (L.E.) McCullough has written a magical and mystical script about the original Strolling Scones characters and their trials and adventures adjusting to the New Millennium. It is a comedy woven around a bunch of old and new Scones tunes featuring the original band mates, T. Malcolm, Yardley, Chelsea, Stewart, Harry and Rainbow. It’s fun and campy and soon will be available for production. Click on the flashing “Strolling Scones the Musical” link for more info.

In the meantime, don’t forget that all of the Strolling Scones CDs are available at cdbaby.com and downloads are at iTunes and Amazon. Also, if you haven’t done so yet, check out the Something Happening In The Air video link on this page.

Thanks for dropping by and we hope that everyone is staying warm this winter. We are certainly happy to be “well thawed out”!

Winter 2011
Cheers to all of our new and old friends in Texas and New Mexico. We had a fantastic time down there on our late Autumn tour performing around Austin, the historic Gruene Hall, on the beach in Corpus Christi, and in Santa Fe. The new CD “Something Happening In The Air” is now officially out and the response to the new songs has been very gratifying. More and more stations in the EU are spinning the disc and we’re having fun performing the tunes in our live shows. Our friend, David Jacobson, surprised us with a poignant video using the title cut from the CD, We have put it up on this page, so feel free to check it out. Now that we are back in the Rockies, we will be doing shows with the larger Scones ensemble (some acoustic and some electric) and during the winter months we will be heading back into the studio to lay down some new tracks. A day’s work, in the life of a band, is never done, but we will keep chipping away at it! Thanks for checking us out and hope to see you at one of our shows soon. Peace, Love, and Best Wishes!

Fall 2011
Thanks to everyone who came out and filled the venue up to over capacity for the Scones’ performance at the Mountain Harvest Festival. What a great time we had!  Our new EP, “Something Happening In The Air”, has been getting some nice airplay in Europe lately.  UK, Sweden, Romania, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and more ... pretty cool!  In fact Radio Phoenix 96.7 FM (central UK) did a feature retrospective of SS recordings on Oct. 9.  Click on “Blues In The Night” below for more info on that.  We’re gearing up for the Strolling Scones duo tour of New Mexico and Texas in November.  Rick & Helen will be performing at some wonderful venues down there.  Stay tuned for the Colorado release party dates in December for the new disc.
Keep On Strollin’!
