THAT was fun! I mean really fun. We had a great time playing. I actually sang a song! The audience was interactive, as they should be at one of our shows. I had to remind myself to not look at my laptop during songs, since I wanted to comment then.

We have faster internet now, and it seems that we streamed better. CW seems to be having problems getting us the video, so I can't be certain. Please comment and let us know how it looked and sounded!

What we played, including a few things we have not done live before!

Children Of The Flame
Beast Within
Let The River Run (first time)
Gatekeeper
Waiting In The Deep (Mike Whitaker) (first time as a duo)
Bear Of The County Down (Trad-Pereckas-Coleman-Crowe) - (First time, and first time Eric singing in a show in a long time)
Within The Snow
Winter's Night
Navigator
She Moved Through The Faire
Strength In The Fire

Just a reminder, we are live this Saturday!

Tell your friends! Tell your enemies!

We are going deep this weekend, stuff we rarely play live. We will be including a Mike Whitaker song, and if I get the nerve, you may actually hear me sing a song!

These shows are always silly, loose, and a lot of fun!

There are a couple nifty tip rewards, and we're trying to think of more!

So, come listen to us play, and help us pay off the amazing amount of medical bills that have hit us the last few weeks!

We are not going to be traveling much this year. England took a lot of our travel budget, and we're moving this summer. Now if only there was some way to play for people without spending hours in the van. OH WAIT!

Yeah, there is this thing that we haven't done in over a year!

It's been year. There has been a lot of things that have gone wrong. Financially it's been pretty much a disaster for us.

But the good outweighs the bad by a large margin.

We have written 46 songs this year. That's kinda extreme. There are a handful that we would be fine with never hearing again. There are now 11 Callenwood songs. And we have added those and another 15 or so into our regular book.

The shows this year have been amazing. A lot of new people have come to see us. And they got us. They got that a Cheshire Moon show is not a presentation, it's a conversation. As Marie (Slim) Browning once said, "It's better when you help".

There is a lot of live video that shows that in action on our You Tube page.

We have three more little things to do this year. A sales day at a local club, where we will have our CDs and a bunch of Lizzie's knitted stuff. We'll have a couple instruments with us in case music breaks out. We're going to a party, where music may break out. And we have our Concert Window show for my birthday.

The most amazing thing at the moment though, our living room has no instruments, no PA, no gear at all (except for one guitar stand, which lives down here).

The rehearsal room is set up again. All the cases put away in the closet. The PA is there as well. Hand drums are on their stands. Guitars etc are all on their racks, ready to play. The pedal boards are plugged into the small system, ready to make silly sounds for us.

We're off for awhile. No shows planned at the moment, but I'll start that soon. But yeah, probably off Dec, Jan & Feb. Not to say that if someone leapt out at us and said "come play" we wouldn't leap too.

In the meantime, there are CDs for sale on our website, they would make great Xmas presents!

Now I am going back to snuggling a kitty, and watching TV. Lizzie is working a short day, so she'll be home soonish.

Happy Holidays all!

Get ready for the Cheshire Moon "We've been pounded by all kinds of extra bills" midwestern tour!

And, we booked all these before all this happened ... clever that.

We have gotten pounded with hospital and automotive bills the last month. If you have wanted to see us play, now is the time! We have lots of music for sale, including two new CDs. You can put money in our jar (virtual in the case of the Concert Window show). You can see us in our living room (live or virtual), in a church and in someone else's living room (both of those live). Oh, and the Chicago show ... we're bringing Susan! That doesn't happen every often.

And if you want CDs, they are available on our website, cheshiremoon.net. If you want downloads, they are available at cheshiremoon.bandcamp.com.

We went back into the studio Wednesday and got some more stuff recorded. There are now backing tracks for Ghost Train, Beast Within, Nighty Knights and The Midnight Contingent.

We go back in Wednesday to record one more guitar part, and then Lizzie will record vocals for the rest. We should be done recording then, with just mixing to do.

Those of you who went for the bonus on Concert Window could have the DL as soon as next weekend, but probably the week after sometime!

Then we start to work on the full band CD! Look for a Kickstarter coming soon to an internet near you!

The latest Concert Window show is posted on You Tube! Several new songs. Our, ahem, unique, ahem, take on Wassail. And it was my Birthday!


ericcoleman: Cheshire Moon (Cheshire Moon)
Fun happened! Some new songs! Some newish songs! We skipped over a couple of things! We skipped some parts of songs! We skipped to our Lou!

Horizon (second time played!)
Loki Loves You
Boneman’s Daughter
Alice In Zombieland
Persephone

Thank you for coming out and playing with us! And making my birthday so much fun!

The recording should be done next week or so, folks who have gotten the DL will be contacted in the next week or two with a DL link.

Then we start getting the full band album started!
ericcoleman: Cheshire Moon (Cheshire Moon)
That was fun!

It's always a little odd, playing to an audience who you can't talk to directly. Still, our friends always have something to say, even if it's typing. Thank you everyone for being in our world for a little while. We're off for almost a month, so songwriting will happen. We hope to get all of the songs for The Midnight Contingent done in the next week or so, and to start rehearsing for the recording. It's only a year later than we had originally planned, but life happens.

What we played tonight!

Persephone
Single White Monster
Loki Loves You
Witch In Your Story
Denali
The National Anthem For Her Majesty
Wanderer
Masters of Library Science
Calvin's Girl
Widows Garden
Alice In Zombieland
ericcoleman: Cheshire Moon (Cheshire Moon)
7 - 8 pm Central in honor of Her Majesty Queen Marinda!

All I can say is ... God Save The Queen!

Concert Window lets you post your show on You Tube! So we did!

For those of you who missed it, here it is again!

ericcoleman: Cheshire Moon (Cheshire Moon)
It was a fun start to what will hopefully be a series of shows on Concert Window this year. It's odd playing to people you can't see, but we had a few friends over and that made it a little easier.

What we played today

Persephone
Circus of Dreams
Wanderers
Hot McGonagall
Loki Loves You (first time)
Witch in your Story
Call Me Home
Child of the Library
Catnyp
Stream of Consciousness
Calvin's Girl
She Moved Through the Faire
Alice in Zombieland

Concert Window says that we can use the video for any non commercial use, so it is likely that some, if not all, of it will end up on You Tube. We will probably do this again end of summer.

Thank you everyone who came and listened!
