It's a really "laid back" place and makes one want to excel when playing music there...and we did!<br />
Long termers Kristin and Nikki were astounding, and relative newbie Lyn on bass has really added a lot to our overall and underlying sound- I have to admit that when first suggested I wasn't so sure how bass/low end would mesh with our acoustic sound, but any such doubts I might have had have been refreshingly proved quite wrong (yes, I AM wrong sometimes, I just don't make a habit of it :). We did miss the presence though of our Gretchen, on mandolin and harmony singing, but she will be back the very next show!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

The recording quality on this release is a step up from our previous two releases and the vocals of Kristin Kay and Johnnie Kay are no less than astounding...check it out at http://www.acoustalyn.com/media.html/media.html<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

It's been a while! Acoustalyn welcomes Kristin Kay to the group as our new lead singer, and she's just in time to help with the new album. More about her here:
<br />http://acoustalyn.com/kristin.html/kristin.html
<br /> We also have been offered the services (tentatively at least) of Jennifer Daniels to return for all things violin on our third album, which begins recording in mid-October.
<br /> Johnnie Kay of Thystle fame will also appear on the album extensively.

They are both working hard and should be in gear when we re-record a good portion of the first Acoustalyn album and then go into video production soon thereafter!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

Nancy was in great form as well and I am really liking Acoustalyn's new line-up! <br /> We have taken on partial-to-full management in the likes of Monica, who heretofore had been doing some research and advising for us...we hope to begin and maintain for a long time to come a resourceful relationship with her!<br /> New video on our YouTube channel soon, here:<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/Acoustalyn<br />and new pictures (but even more on the way) on our Myspace pages.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

Acoustalyn has made some changes, most notably in the area of violin and lead vocals, having recently added both Nancy Mize and Colleen Duffy to those positions, respectively. We also added a new alternate violinist in the form of Katherine Yin who will take over many of the group's Sunday duties when Nancy sings in her choir!<br /> <p>Still heavily booked and a re-recording in the not-too-far-off future will ensure us being quite busy for some time to come!<br /> <p>Thanks everyone for making the new album a success as well!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

I am very happy with Allison and Lisa's singing and cooperative spirit and lack of drama...it will help us a lot down the road.<br /> Recently began a side project for myself that also has to superb singers and this project will elicit some fine music as well...not all MY music for a change, it will feature songs from myself and two other female songwriters who have astounding voices and sound excellent together. You can see them play during the breaks of many upcoming Acoustalyn performances.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn

Our engineer has updated hs facility to include more acoustic-friendly recording and we anticipate this new album to embody even more completely the warm and rich acoustic sound that we as a group strive to create and maintain throughout our recordings and live performances. Look for the album around June or so?!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Members Of Acoustalyn
