PolskiThe Hands of Hope
I just got home to Krakow from a very nice trip to America and unexpectedly Ireland (see previous blog). I will post up some video footage from the trip later this week.
Over the past few moths I've noticed a very serious demand for our first release "The Hands of Hope", so I thought I'd let everyone know that there are only 9 copies left. 4 copies on amazon.com and 5 directly from us. With the million more important projects we are working on (new record, new multi media show, new photography book, new photography web page, tour of America, tour of Poland, dates in Europe, final promotion for A Love of the sea, finding a record label to release "of ghost", rehearsals, endless logistical issues, tour promotion, etc.) I don't believe we will reissue that cd in the near future. That being said, if you'd like your copy of The Hands of Hope You'd better act on it now.
Hello From America
The Atlantic Ocean
American side of the Atlantic
After spending 30 hours stranded in Dublin Ireland as the result of a broken airplane I am finally sitting contently in southern New Jersey. I have traveled around so much this year that everywhere I go feels a little like home, southern Jersey is certainly no exception to that. With everything we've done in 2008 I'd have to say it was one of the best years in my life. Acquiring Polish citizenship, touring all of Poland, three trips around America, working on the new record, and building life long friendships with the people who surround me in LMIYTTE is all like a dream.
Moreover, I'm astounded by the amount of people I had the honor of meeting. One of the most special things about being in a band is having the possibility to be a part of every city I visit. I'd like to extend my deepest graduated to everyone who has accommodated me in my travels this year, the following are my favorite cities in 2008, thanks to anyone who helped us in anyway from; Krakow, Zakopane, Sanok, Przemsl, Nowy Sacz, Krotoszyn, Bydgoszcz, Kielce, Szczawnica, Warszawa, Lodz, Torun, Swiecie, Poznan, Grudziadz, Czestochowa, Kalisz, Ostroleka, Rzeszow, Elk, Olsztyn, Gdansk, Sopot, Rybnik, Gliwice, Katowice, Lublin, Bielsko Biala, Sandomierz, Zywiec, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Dallas, Tucson, and Lwow! Each place charmed me in its own way and if your from one of those cities you should feel proud of where your from (well, with the exception of Dallas maybe:) )
The circumstances we have right now are so great that I won't back down for a moment, as long as I have my health I will continue to create music and tour. In 2009 we want to circle Poland another 3 or 4 times and visit some more of Europe but we will start the year with a tour of 6 American cities! .. ohhh and the new record is on its way.
Ostatnie koncerty w 2008
W ostatni weekend zagralismy cztery koncerty akustyczne, i było to rewelacyjne zakończenie jesiennej trasy koncertowej. Dzięki nagraniom w Radio PiK szukamy mozliwości wydania w niewielkim nakładzie koncertowej ep-ki akustycznej i mamy nadzieję ze pojawi się ona na wiosnę.

Pani Beacie Surmacz z klub Gaudi w Kielcach,
Adamowi Droździkowi z bydgoskiego radia PiK
Mariuszowi Ossowskiemu i Wojciechowi Szuniewiczowi z Krotoszyńskiego Ośrodka Kultury

Muzyczna Owczarnia
Our concert at Muzyczna Owczarnia was a peculiar experience - on one hand we were honored to play on such a legendary stage and in such a beautiful place. On the other hand our music didn't really seem to get through to the audience and the people at the venue were shocked by our dislike for alcohol.
Still it was a marvellous experience and we proudly share some footage taken during that concert.
Łódź/Warsaw + Szczawnica
We'd like to thank a few people who helped with our shows in Łódź and Warsaw. First of all, Gosia Fruzińska, FRU
who was a marvelous host in Łódź. I'd like to also thank Maciek Tomczyk of Gabbeh for lending me a spare guitar for this part of the tour.
Next week we'll be playing in Jaworki/Szczawnica at a legendary Muzyczna Owczarnia We welcome you all to come to this concert.
