Pictures And Sound/Jerry Douglas

Two new releases that came out today, featuring friends of CVB, that you should check out:

Pictures And Sound "Pictures And Sound":

The new album featuring Luke Reynolds. CVB and Luke constantly bummed instruments, cars, food, conversations, and laughter from each other over the past few years as our albums were being put together in many different studios and homes throughout Nashville. Luke and the boys made a great record. Here's a link to check it out:

Jerry Douglas "Glide":

Todd Parks (bass) played on this record. He also played on our record, and is one amazing dude. Luke Bulla (Blue Merle) is yet another friend of ours (phenomenal fiddler/singer) who is also in the Jerry Douglas Band. Here's a link to get your JD on:

Quick CVB Update:

We have been in the studio for 3 straight weeks recording a large amount of material for a new MTV show. More info about the show coming soon.

College Radio has been really kind to us, as we have now been on the CMJ Top 200 for 6 straight weeks. Many thanks to everyone for their support.

CVB friends Ki:Theory, Ninja Simone, K Ishibashi, Designer Drugs, and others have done remixes of our album tracks which we are planning to release in the fall.

Adios from Nashville (the summer home of iced coffee),

nashville summer

The heat has subsided, at least temporarily here in Tennessee and we have slowly begun to venture out of our climate controlled home studio. The album has spent the last five weeks charting at college radio. Thanks to everyone spinning it and requesting our music on their local stations.

In other happenings, we have been hired to compose instrumental pieces for a new show on MTV. Just getting our heads around it all. Cool stuff. We will keep you posted.
