Thanks to all that came out to the Backstage Lounge show with Magmatic and The Pacific Sound Collective - we had a blast.
Stay tuned for upcoming shows and other news.
Thanks to John Lucas of The Georgia Straight for the latest, glowing review of The Return of the Lonesome Coyote Patchwork Pulpit, and Sundry Other Tales from the Rainbow's End. To shun modesty for a second or two, we feel this review really captures the scope and depth of our latest. Check it out:
Check out the show page for event information for our next mini show at Ryerson United, where some of us will be performing with a string quartet to accompany Kathleen Allan in microtonal art song (yes, I kid you not - microtonal art song) written by yours truly. Other works, artists involved.
The reviews are starting to roll in for The Return of the Lonesome Coyote Patchwork Pulpit, and Sundry Other Tales from the Rainbow's End, Rollaway's latest (very) full-length record. Apparently it's an album you love or hate - who knew we were so contentious!?
The first from Vancouver's own Discorder states:
"....seriously pretty guitar work and well-written songs....the musicianship and lyrical quality is just too good to deny."

Also, from England's Maverick:
"This is not an album you can put on as background music..."

Rollaway or members thereof played two great shows in December! Our acoustic sets on CiTR and at the Redlight Cafe were both successes. Thanks to Val Cormier and CiTR, Will Layng, the Redlight Cafe, and all you who came out or listened at home.
Rollaway's gonna be on the air again on December 15th, this time with the spectacular local show Folk Oasis on CiTR with host Val Cormier. That's 101.9 FM Vancouver at 8:00 on Wednesday, December 15th.
Also, Benton will be doing a special Christmas performance in Atlanta at the Red Light Cafe on December 26th with Will Layng and Dean Leeper. Not to be missed. 8:00. $7.
Thanks for a great CD release! The Railway was aglow with good times and harmony last Thursday night. We couldn't be more thankful for Jimmy Baldwin and Kent McAlister and their bands, as well as all y'all who came out to sing along. Look for the record in local stores (Zulu, Redcat) and at CD Baby, as well as iTunes, but we'd recommend a hard copy, since, to put it plainly, it's just so pretty.

Next show!! On-air performance with live-studio audience:
November 16th with Melodies in Mind.
Stay tuned.
