CDs will be available on December 15

Nov 30, 2009 live band

The CD is at the duplication center now. It will be available for sale (fingers crossed) on December 15Â – just in time for the holidays (by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin).

We are going to go with Nimbit to sell the CDs online and to make digital tracks available. You will also be able to get the digital tracks on iTunes.

Check back here on December 15 and if all goes as planned you should be able to order CDs and get them in time for Christmas!

In the meantime, I’ve got the new tracks up on our MySpace. Give a listen here.

CD release scheduled for December

Nov 7, 2009 live band

We’ve been working on our first CD and it’s sounding really good. We can’t wait to share it with you. If all goes as planned, it will be available for purchase (hard copy and download) in December before the holidays.

We recorded two originals for the CD and we plan to give one of those away as a free download very soon! So be on the look out. More to come!

Somerville, you ready for Amy Black & the RCRs?

Oct 7, 2009 live band

Well, we are ready for you.

We’ve been moving our way toward the city. Don’t get me wrong, we love all of our gigs in the northwest suburbs of Boston, and will keep doing them, but it’s good to venture out.

Last Saturday was our Boston debut. It felt great to be in the heart of the city playing on Harrison Ave at the SOWA market. We definitely drew a crowd of enthusiastic listeners. Some stayed for the entire two hours of the show (in the sun!).

So, next stop is the city of Somerville. We will be playing at Sally O’Brien’s. It’s a great neighborhood restaurant that supports Americana music. We are looking forward to it!

Michelle, won’t be with us (on fiddle) that night, but Fred Bement will join us on harp and my sis, Corrie Jones, that singing machine who lives in Davis Square, will be there as well.

We are there on Thursday, October 8 from 8:00-11:00 p.m.

We hope you can be there to witness when we take Somerville by storm! : )

BBQ, beer and live music – the perfect combo

Sep 29, 2009 live band

Amy and the RCRs are at the Village Smokehouse in Lowell this Thursday, October 1 from 8-11. No cover!

Come on out to this “smokin” hot spot in downtown Lowell, enjoy a few wings or if you are really hungry, a few ribs and listen to the sweet sounds of American roots music.

A bunch of folks from Lowell and some crazy marketing people will be there for the Lowell TweetUp event. The more the merrier!

See you there!
