I think we have three songs left to go. Whewww…way too long coming. But in reality, It was a bit of a hard winter. The owner, Kevin Kraybill, of the label, 13 Music, that we were signed to passed away waaay too young and along with his passing we lost our label and distribution deal. That was a hard one to lose, both he and the deal. He was a good guy and left behind a son whom we send our condolences to. But as summer comes up we are booking shows soon so stay tuned. And hug your loved ones close!</p>Bone Orchardtag:boneorchardmusic.com,2005:Post/69904582022-06-09T07:48:51-12:002022-06-09T07:48:51-12:00Taos Shows!<p>Summer is almost in full swing and it's so good to be in it! Taos is coming alive with lots of music happening all over. And we've got some shows coming up in August. Yeah, we'd like to do sooner but we're out of town for 1/2 of June and some of July. Though we're excited to be back at the Taos Inn on August 6th due to two wonderful women who work there who know what the Inn was before and are helping to 'nudge' upper management to bring it back. So come on out August 6th to the Adobe Bar at the Historic Taos Inn and help us do our part in bringing back the "living room of Taos." Then the following week at Taos Plaza Live on the plaza, of course! Taos's summer concert series. See you then! In the meantime, enjoy these sweet summer days!</p>

We played some great shows last summer but we decided to hold off in the winter until we could play outdoors again. Spring is here and we'll be booking shows again. Though, as many of you know and those who don't know.... our venue that we love and have played at for over 20 years, The Taos Inn, was sold to a corporate entity from elsewhere after years of private local ownership and is no longer the Living Room of Taos. They only allow a musician or two on the balcony, which takes the intimacy out of it all. And sadly, NO dancing is allowed. Quite a change from the days of not so far off yore. How many joyful shows we've done when the whole place was rockin'! No more wild Halloween shows there which we were privileged to perform at for 20 years. But I'm glad we all at least had those times of memorable musical nights there. Time marches on..and as the current seasonal change is telling us.... something new always springs from the old. </p>
<p>But we miss playing music and so we look forward to seeing you all elsewhere out there. Hope you've all stayed healthy and well. If you've lost loved ones or have been sick yourself we hold you in our hearts and send love and grace your way. Looking forward to seeing you out there soon!</p>

<p>We've had a busy summer and now Dan and I are headed off to San Miguel de Allende once again to hang out with our favorite Eat The Peach Travel Tour friends. We had to watch Once Upon a Time in Mexico while we packed because, well, it's filmed in SMA. And well there's Antonio Banderas.... ;-) We're looking forward to exploring our favorite new and old haunts and playing some music while we're down there. <br>And then when we get home, we'll be doing some fun house concerts up in Colorado and Santa Fe. Check out our shows for more info or write and say hi!</p>

<p>Well all that snow has been great for the environment but it's a lot for this California girl so we're headed off next week to the City of Brotherly Love, Old Philadelphia to play Andrea Clearfield's Salon. Known as the oldest and best salon in the country, it's one of our favorite gigs and if you don't know about composer, Andrea Clearfield, her work as well as her Salon, <a href="https://bit.ly/2HwOMR3" target="_blank" data-imported="1">https://bit.ly/2HwOMR3 </a>here's a great little article on her. And it all happens on the 3rd floor loft of an old 17th century mansion. And we love exploring Philadelphia, between the prison cell of Al Capone at the 19th century Philadelphia Prison to the gorgeous architecture of the Masonic's Headquarters with all of it's rooms designed from different cultures like Egypt, the beautiful cemeteries with all the old history in Old City and the ghost photograph! I captured on that rainy day Ghost Tour. But best of all, the apple dumpling with dairy cream served by the Amish girls. Yeah, I know these are quirky things to love about this town, but well....that's why we're Bone Orchard. And then! Off to the beach for a week...rest, relaxation and a chance to work on those new songs we've been writing. </p>
<p>Check back soon as we will be adding more gigs along the way including Colorado and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico! Cheers!</p>

<p>What an epic adventure! I was invited to create a promotional video for Eat the Peach Travel Tours, Tom and Sharon, for their Day of the Dead tour in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico last November. After playing the annual Halloween party at the Adobe Bar, Dan and I drove straight to the airport, three hours away, for a 6 am flight. So Rock n Roll. ay..yai ay...So with Dan as my soundman we headed off for adventure, fun and music! We had originally met Tom and Sharon playing a show so they booked us a gig at the 007 Bond Bar, a rooftop bar in San Miguel, which was pretty dang cool. Especially loved singing our original song we wrote in Spanish with our American accents ;-) well....not too badly American. But we loved San Miguel de Allende! Full of gracious people, beautiful colors, culture, the architecture, what a town! So check out www.eatthepeachtravel.com and the video I made below. A special thanks to fellow musician and video editor, Martin Rowell, whom I got to sit next to editing this video for about 36 hours. Could not have done it without him.</p>
<p>And you might want to check out their next adventure. Fantastic experience of a lifetime! But see it for yourself.....</p>

<p>A hidden but well known secret in San Miguel are the roof top bars. Almost every restaurant and sometimes just regular buildings have them. And when you climb up those dark stairs you never know what to expect. Some have full on gardens with small pools of water and sleek seating while others are merely the size of a small kitchen but with a fabulous scene going on. We had the opportunity to play the roof top bar at Bond Bar 007 and what a fabulous night that was. A special thanks to the very talented photographer, Jim O'Donnell for capturing this shot of us that night.</p>

<p>Two years ago, we were scouted by Running Wolf casting to be the band on the movie, Ideal Home, starring Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan. Filmed at the Pink Adobe Bar in Santa Fe, we probably did the scene around 15 times. Paul and Steve tangoing in front of us over and over. Great people on the set and they treated us beautifully. The movie went to Cannes Film festival and then we never heard of it again...oh well! But, lo and beyond, just last May the key costumer, Jane Day, sent me a text with this photo on it. And sure enough, it opened on June 29th nation wide and there we are, in the last part of the movie. Brief as our scenes are, really only seconds, it was fun to see ourselves up on that big screen. It's a funny, sharp, loving homage to Santa Fe about a couple, Paul and Steve, who end up with a long, lost grand kid and have to find their way through their own narcissistic, indulgent life style to a new way of viewing life showing that love knows no boundaries or gender. Love is love, ain't that the truth! Check it out if it plays in your neighborhood or rent on Amazon.com and you'll catch us at the end, brief but there we are. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391182/3c3e8a0478f71a5176129e75913ae69eff5a78de/original/ideal-home-photo.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MTAwMHg1NjMiXQ%3D%3D.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="563" width="1000" /></p>

<p>If you've never been to the East Coast in spring, put it on your bucket list. Central Park in full bloom is a site to behold as are the streets of Philadelphia! In between shows, we fit in some great visiting at the Met, Wave Hill in NY. Old City, Independence Hall in Philly and walked about 12 miles a day in both places. We had a wonderful evening performing at Andrea Clearfield's 31 year old Salon in Philadelphia. What a great experience she has created for both the audience and us performer's. I think we've become ambassadors of New Mexico because so many guests came up afterwards and told us how they wanted to come visit New Mexico now! We made some wonderful new friends and picked up an amazing opportunity of which more will be revealed in the future. And we look forward to performing there again in March of 2019! But meanwhile we're back in our beautiful home of Taos, which is also in full bloom and also a sight to behold! Four shows here in Taos this month so come see us at one of more! And keep checking back as I'm always adding gigs. Hope to see you out there soon!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391182/3ddbe9e39991997fca2dcd7493739ae6c7150619/original/carol-and-dan-at-salon-2018cropped.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6OTM2eDk3NSJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="975" width="936" /></p>

<p>Finally! We loved that old website, but our web designer went AWOL and it was all her own code sooo... here 's the new one created by myself and my web and conceptual business design partner, Barbara Davis (who totally rocks the techie side!) and btw, our business is The Taos Pixel Dust Sisters. </p>
<p>I'll be adding more show dates and more info, so check back occasionally. We've taken off for a few months to finish mixing the cd, get the new website done and all that entails. We'll be doing a kickstarter soon to raise funds to manufacture and print the cd. Daniel and I will be heading to Philadephiia next month to play the oldest Salon in the country. And then we'll be back in Taos for two shows in May...kicking off into summer! So good to be back online here and playing music! Looking forward to seeing you all out there! Please sign up for our email list, even if you did before. Our list went MIA along with the website. Thanks for visiting! Carol</p>
