The Pelican’s Perch

For those of you that may have not been paying attention this last year, I have a record label I started with my friend Charlie called LemonDrop Records.  We’re oh so close to having the online store finished and up and running, then things will really take off.  But for now, we’re pumping out our bands’ albums the old fashioned way, through word of mouth, selling them at shows, and any other way we can think of.  The Verbs are one of our flagship bands and I’m more than excited that tonight has arrived, as they’re finally releasing their debut cd.  Normally, you might think I’d be a bit biased since they’re my label’s band, but believe me when I say these guys are great.  Their live shows coupled with this debut album has landed them the coveted “Best Album” award in Springfield’s Go Magazine, an award voted by fans all throughout Springfield, so that right there says a lot that the fans themselves voted their debut album the best.

If you’re in Springfield or any of the surrounding areas, make the trip up to the Gillioz Theatre in downtown Springfield to check out the Verbs cd release show.  They’ll be accompanied onstage for just this one time by guest musicians, including Lacoma Jefferson on piano, who is the main piano player for my band, Honest Artist.  Add an acoustic guitar and a few backup singers and you’ve got yourself one heck of a Verbs show.  So, if you can make it, be sure to swing by as I’d like to see any and everyone I can that reads this blog come out and support my other main venture.  This is just the beginning of LemonDrop, as we’ve got even more bands waiting in the wings, but having the Verbs as a flagship band is pretty great if you ask me.
