Great News!!

JATOBA will host our very own show @ the Flynn Space in Burlington, VT on April 11th, 2008. Show starts @ 8pm. Tickets are available through this website.

We are extremely excited about this one. It is a big show for us so all the support we can get would be awesome. We are running a carpool from southern VT up to Burlington the day of and coming back the next day. Details on that will come later.

2/11/08 -- DVD/CD will be released from a great show @ Harlow's Pub Feb. 2nd, 2008

This show is one for the books! We had our good friend, Alan Lansky (www.electricopenmic.com) recording the show for us via audio and video. Electric Open Mic is a mobile multi track recording studio based in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Dave from Harlow's contributed a second camera as well. Thanks so much Dave!! With the help of Alan and JATOBA, together we are mixing down the audio and then adding the video so this will be a big project but well worth the effort. We will let you guys know when it is available. The DVD will not be the whole show; however the CD will consist of the show in its entirety. You will be able to purchase these two individually. More to come...
