Update Update!

It's been quite sometime since I last posted, a lot has happened I suppose. On January 5th, my first E.P "... Through the Winter" was released online and at shows. Reception has been great, I've had a few blogs write about me and it feels wonderful.

Since August 2008, I was playing in a band with my brother and friends called History Books. We put out an EP along with a full length album. Did some shows around Minneapolis, had a good time. Had a lot of gear stolen, a long with some family stuff going on. Our personal lives and health have taken priority, so we disbanded. My brother Seth is still continuing under the name and is doing shows and is going to write some new tunes. Keep and ear out for that!

As for Little Yosemite, I'm about 8 songs into a full length. Like my last EP, all the songs grew from the little pee pods that they were. So by the end of this May, they should be in great form to be recorded. I'm going to try and be better about promotion and press, so a release in the Fall seems pretty realistic. I have the album art and title figured out, and will post on that sometime soon.

I've also been writing a number of instrumental/ambient songs. I don't know the future of them, but there's a possibility of playing with a band out of Portland.

Enough rambling. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Cheers. -James
