I am writing to you as Aimee drives through a warm summer rain in Minnesota. We are on I-94 and will be in Mountain Time by late afternoon! If you are in North Dakota we hope to see you at our performances in Dickinson (tonight!), Bismarck (tomorrow!), and Fargo (Sunday!) this week. All of the details will be posted at the end of this newsletter. We still have a few gaps in our tour schedule we are looking to fill. We are looking for concert / worship hosts in Texas and Louisiana during the week of July 7th through July 14th. We are also looking for concert / worship hosts in Colorado and the upper midwest from August 1st through August 10th.
A BIG thank you to everyone who followed our kickstarter.com pledge drive. Thanks to your generosity we met our goal last month! The last couple weeks have been filled with the continuing work of writing and refining these new tunes for worship and collecting the rewards for the folks who pledged toward our goal. The blue iPods have been engraved with our Tangled Blue logo, and the T-shirts that I will be hand dying have arrived. We hope to send out our supporter’s rewards next week. We’ve been contacted by a few folks who missed the online pledge drive and would still like to give some support toward our new recording of songs for worship. If this describes you, here is a pledge form you can print and send into us: http://tangledblue.com/pledgeform.pdf
...speaking of T-shirts, I’ve redesigned our “con-amor” bar code logo T-shirt. It now includes a version of the icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Here’s a link to an image of the shirt: http://tangledblue.com/TB4red.html and more information on this image can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Heart
The shirt is cardinal red and the logo is in white. I’m really into this design... so much so that I’m considering getting a tattoo of this design... though not for a while, we’ve got some debt to wipe off the slate first. You can order this shirt from the store at http://tangledblue.com.
Summer is upon us; the bumble bees are buzzing around the Veronica blossoms in our back yard and we are buzzing with excitement over the miles and melodies these days will bring. One new melody we are really looking forward to is John Hermanson's new liturgy that will be debuting at Mercy Seat Lutheran Church this Sunday evening in Minneapolis. John's music as a songwriter and as part of Storyhill, Alva Star, and The Hopefuls has been a consistent companion along our many miles of driving, so we are especially looking forward to these new tunes written around the liturgy. It's gonna be fun... you should come... details at http://www.nemercy.org/
Hopeful that we will see you soon...
Under the Mercy,
Joel
