Thanks to everyone who came out last night to the show. In retrospect we probably shouldn’t have played ALL the new tunes off Almanac. That may have been a little much to shove down your throat. How about for the next two weeks we play half the songs on the album each night and see how we are feeling by the time the last show rolls around? Go ahead and post your requests here and I will use this as a guide to make the set lists.
Thanks,
Mike B

We were feeling helpless . . . watching the news. It is hard to go about your usual business when you know there is unfathomable pain and suffering happening. We decided that maybe we could help raise awareness and money with a song. A song to help make people pay attention and a souvenir for their good deed. The lyrics are eerily poignant. We know you, our fans, are always willing to pitch in when we ask, so once again, we are asking. You know you want to help anyway. We can’t all go down there and lend a hand. Some of us can make music, some can give financially, others can spread the word. Do your part.
Also, to help us in our efforts to raise money and for you to lend a helping hand, feel free to pass this embed code along to friends, family, whoever. It’ll embed a small player with the video above into your site as well as a link to where people can donate (see example below):
(LOS ANGELES, CA) — Des Moines-based folk-country rock band The Nadas have joined the growing legion of artists and celebrities who are putting any support that they can towards the relief funds for the Haitian Earthquake victims and survivors.
The bands new album, Almanac, is set for release on March 16th through Authentic Records and included on this unique album is a poignant song called “Wrecking Ball”. Eerily, the lyrics reflect much of what is happening right now with the victims and rescue workers after the devastating earthquake struck Haiti earlier this week. “If we stand together….” sings frontman Mike Butterworth. “All we really want is to stand united. All we really need is to just hold on, And we’ll withstand colliding with this human wrecking ball…If I could take away the things that bring you pain; if I could make the sun shine through the pouring rain.” continue reading »
Happy New Year! Happy New webpage! Happy new album . . . almost. Jason here. So we have finally concluded our work on the Almanac Project. We have now opened up the Almanac Project blog to everyone for free so you can wet you whistles. We have taken each song written and recorded each month and compiled a new record. We have just finished having it pressed and now begins the process of trying to make the world care. continue reading »
