New Single “First Rain of October” Available Now!
Monday, March 14th, 2011Howdy, everyone! It’s been awhile since we’ve been in touch, and there’s lots to tell…
First Rain of October
We’ve spent the winter recording new songs, and we’re very excited to have you hear them! We’ve decided to release them one at a time, a song a month, as digital singles available at iTunes, Amazon, etc. First up is a tune that’s been a live audience favorite the past year, "First Rain of October." A pop country confession about an ex-lover finding happiness with someone new, the track is available now for just 99¢ at all your favorite online retailers! Click the cover art, below, to visit a webpage with a streaming sample of the track, liner notes, and direct links to purchase.

A Dedication
Finally, we’d like to salute actress Betty Garrett, with whom Maureen studied voice/acting at Los Angeles’ Theatre West. Aside from numerous films and Broadway shows, you know Betty best from Laverne and Shirley and All In the Family. She directed Maureen in "Spoon River Anthology" (with Lee Meriwether, Bridget Hanley and Jim Beaver). Betty passed away February 12, 2011. We will miss her so very much.
