FOLLOWTHESONG.COM
This music blog started when we decided to document our 6-moth back-packing trip through South America last year. Now we are continuing the journey as we travel with an equestrian show, singing and performing as world-renown horse-trainer Renee Gasser and his riders perform tricks and stunts for audiences all over the Midwest with his show "Gala of the Royal Horses." We quickly restored our VW Bus and got on the road for the beautiful Midwestern States, endless rows of corn and wheat, and bright blue skies. Now we hope to write more music, and play shows all over the US. If you followed FTS last year then you are in for a new adventure! If you are a new follower, please check out www.followthesong.com and navigate through some of the pages to see what we are all about. Most importantly listen to the music! All available for free download at www.soundcloud.com/followthesong. We hope you enjoy the show! Our statement before leaving for South America last year:
Dan and I decided that we want to travel more while we are young. No kids, no real jobs, no regrets!! We also decided to officially write music together. I'm stylistically folky, "angelic", and acoustic. Dan is a master looper, funky and soulful. Although we are so different, we believe that we have just what the other needs! South America came to mind after we decided that (after writing together) nature and hiking were at the top of our priority list. My uncle, who is a pilot, generously gave us two buddy passes and we booked our flights! We will backpacking South America for the next six months or so... March 2013- August 2013...
After we chose a destination, we began to think of a way to share the music we would be creating. What is a song without ears to listen? We have talents for trekking and music. Combine the two and followthesong was born! Since we have no set plan for our travels, we are allowing followthesong.com to create itself with no expectations, no boxes, and also no plan. The only promise we can give you is our trail of music. Each week or so we will be posting an original song for you that will have been written, recorded, and produced, on the road. After working as hard as we could this past year to set ourselves up for success on the road, we have most of our gear ready! One Imic. Two travel guitars. Ten Countries. Infinite musical possibilities! Please don't miss out on this chance to experience something groundbreaking! Please FOLLOW THE SONG, and in turn you will be traveling with us through the streets of Argentina, Rio de Janeiro, Cuzco, and maybe even the Galapagos! More importantly...you are invited into our heads and our hearts as we surrender ourselves to honest songwriting. Subscribe to our blog and you will receive an e-mail update whenever we have posted a new song!
