Merry Christmas

I'm a few Christmas cocktails in and thought I would say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

I've been thinking about this past year (musically) and I have to say I'm pretty darn impressed. Granted I didn't get on bills as big as Andrew Bird / Denison Witmer, etc. But I got some good gigs with other bands that are really great. Not to mention I did release a second album, featuring an orchestra. A dream of mine was to have my music backed with an orchestra.

So everything has got me thinking about the future of Zephuros. For awhile I had considered discontinuing the name and music altogether as it felt more of an Athens band and college memory. But to be honest, if I were to start something new, I think it would be hard to do that. Frankly, I don't know how to write a song that's not about nature/animals. Plus I think I'm slowly getting into the scene here which is good. I guess I just miss consistently playing shows like I did in Athens and it's frustrating to have to start over. Where people sit there and condescendingly say "who is this guy?" But alas, that is the process of starting your music over in another city. All I can hope for next year is to play shows, with great bands and maybe record again. I think these newer songs I've been writing are even better than the old ones. I'm kind of leaning at making it more electric, more folk-rocky. We'll see if that develops more. Perhaps Zephuros will even turn into a band rather than a solo act.

Ok, enough Christmas Cocktail Venting.

Happy Holidays!

Cheers.
