Steve Piper and I have started a mobile recording company called Soulaire Sound. Dream Chemistry will be the first full length project produced under the company. Everything is moving along quite rapidly. Although no release date has been set, we will be debuting a single release in a few short weeks. So, please, check back for more information.

In other news, Steve, Jimmy and Robin took some time out recently to record two songs co-written with Jimmy James (Wagener). Regrettably, Jimmy Wagener passed away on June 13 from cancer. In his short time involved with the group, he was able to add some great inspiration that will help launch the group forward. Thank you Jimmy James!! We appreciate all you have done for us and we will miss you dearly!

Dream Chemistry will be performing at the Merritt Center in Payson, AZ for the annual Veterans Program fundraiser. The event has moved up to August 21st this year. I will be posting all the information in it’s own post in a few days. Robin has posted more information about the Veterans Program on our Facebook page. Please swing by and get an idea of what it’s all about. We would like to promote a big turnout this year as it is a greatly needed program.

Steve Piper has also joined the group. He will be adding a second guitar, more vocals and percussion. Who knows? We may even get him on bass now and then to free Neal up to play some percussion and other interesting instruments. Only time will tell.

Steve also brings his experience with live and studio sound to the table. Jimmy Caterine is thrilled to have some greatly needed help with the ‘ears’ end of things.

You can see the ‘new and improved’ Dream Chemistry at Storm Wisdom on April 24 & 25. A post with all the details to follow, shortly.

“As more and more members of the armed forces return from war zones, it has become clear that many bring with them potentially severe emotional problems. Re-entry to routine lives and family situations can be complicated by the realities of post traumatic stress. The Returning Veterans Program offers a unique alternative for vets to encounter techniques to ease the transition. The Merritt Center can be a place of learning, healing, and renewal. The program requires no fee for vets to participate, and instead relies on the support of caring donors – like you – to bring this program to life.”

I urge everyone to go to www.MerrittCenter.org for more information about the program, the event and directions. The donation entry fee is $45.

Please help in this worthwhile cause!!

Take a drive up to Payson this weekend –get some fresh air and listen to some great music. Other performers include – Sustainabillies, Steve & Robin, Storyteller, and more.
