JULY 2018 NEWS
Yes, we did miss a month of our monthly News Storm, but we have a pretty good excuse! We have been working on preparations for our very special CD release party for WHIRLIGIG!.
WHIRLIGIG! RELEASE EVENT
We will play our full new album, WHIRLIGIG!, with our new band at Skinny’s Lounge (4923 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood) on Sunday, August 19 at 6 PM. Our special event will also include a set by Former Rabbitt and Bay City Roller Duncan Faure! Duncan just might sit in on a Bluestorms song or two! (Check out a YouTube clip of Duncan and Glen jamming at Roundhouse Recording…). Not to be redundant about the specialness of this special night to debut our special new band performing our special new album, but…. you get the idea…
Advance tickets are available now as part of our pre-sale bundles (see below). Non-bundle ticket purchase link coming very soon, so be on the lookout!

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
After a difficult year and unforeseen delays, we are in the end very proud to share WHIRLIGIG! with you. As some of you know, Glen had a life-threatening illness that landed him in the hospital last fall for 11 days. It has been a slow recovery, but we soldiered on and are, as the song says, “… ready to go again…”! Many heartfelt thanks to those of you who stayed with us or stepped up in generosity. There is nothing more encouraging than having the troops rally to your side. We look forward to seeing you and expressing our gratitude personally.
