        And I can't wait to hear everything myself.... ;) Really looking forward to it! And on the 24th of March I wish I could be in NY.... That actually would be a great birthday gift! :) I'll be celebrating my birthday that night (though the actual day is only on the 25th), but i'll keep you guys in mind! I hope you give a hell of a show! ;)

        Peace,
        Marcos (Portuguese in Denmark)

        If these songs are any indication of what the finished album will be like, we are all in for a treat! I've been hitting repeat on these two tracks, they are poignant and overwhelming. Beautiful music, keep up the magnificent work guys!!

    Hello Kickstarter Family

    Hello Kickstarter Family,

    We finished tracking (non-musicians don't know what this means) the record!  We absolutely could not be making this music without your help.  Thank you!!!  I can't wait for you to hear it.  So many special moments captured.  The engineers have been tirelessly working on these tunes for the past 2 months straight.  It's a new venture for everyone involved.  I had never worked with a producer before and Charlie Peacock had never recorded anything in a live setting like this before.  It's truly special.  I feel like I am a part of something bigger then myself.  It's great doing this with the 7 members of The Bellow, the managers, agents, lawyers, producers, publicists, and engineers, but I believe the secret ingredient is you.  Your investment and belief in this project bleeds through each note hit.  Knowing that the music would not sound the way it does without your help is heart altering thought for me. Thank you.

    Love,
    zach

    "Teach Me To Know"

    We are about to be in our big 10 days left homestretch!!!

    To share a bit more from the early stages of our recording (and as a THANK YOU for those who have given thus far), we have posted a video of us working on a new song called “Teach Me To Know”. We hope you enjoy it.

    If you could be so kind as to help us out and pass this around to some friends who might want to help us out and reach our goal.

    We are beyond grateful.

        is it just me or is the guy behind Zach curiously look like a young Ron Swanson?

    Music

    We've had several folks ask us what our music sounds like as they're hearing about us from other people and aren't familiar with our songs. So, here's a song from a show we played a couple months ago that our buddy Rickey Kraemer filmed for us. It's called "A Tree I'll Grow".

    Day One

    Good People! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! We have already raised 1/4th of the initial goal we’ve set out to raise! We wanted to show you a bit more of how our recording process has been going thus far. Our talented friend Eric Anderson put together more of the footage for us. We will be sending you some updates on how things are moving along through the process. Thank you so so much for your ongoing support in helping us in this campaign. Every little thing you can do helps tremendously, a retweet, a facebook post, telling a friend...we’re so grateful. We can’t wait to share the next bit of this journey with you all. This is footage is from our first day of recording at Rockwood Music Hall while working on a song called "One Crash At A Time". Let's do this!
