Lots of exciting news. A new Quarterflash
CD with new songs! A concert tour! Below
is the e-mail I received.
----------------------
Marv & Rindy Ross / Quarterflash are wrapping
up their first CD in many a year. It will be
released with an intimate CD release concert
at Mississippi Studios on June 7th (see
details below). Titled, "Goodbye Uncle Buzz"
it features 12 new songs by the Rosses and
chronicles their lives growing up and their
many years together creating music. The
Rosses drew on their favorite musical
influences from their past to shape a new
Quarterflash sound. Imagine the love child
of Joni Mitchell and Neil Young living on
Penny Lane and listening to Miles Davis.
Part folk, jazz, pop, and rock, the new
Quarterflash sound is more acoustic and the
lyrics more personal than past QF recordings.
The Rosses consider this their best work ever.
The CD will be available starting the second
week of June at CDBaby.com. However,
you can hear a sneak preview of 4 songs by
