Grey Haven / Paint the Town Red SUCCESS, Live Recording posted

CoreyScogin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 06:19:10 +0000

Thanks to everyone who helped out or hung around at the Grey Haven stage. The show was a great success.

Thanks to Paint the Town Red for organizing such a fun event/fundraiser.

Many times during the evening, someone unfamiliar with Grey Haven came to me and said “Who’s this playing?…I like them.”

There should be a live recording posted here eventually. The time frame on that is iffy…it’s 4 hours of music to mix!

If you have any pictures from Grey Haven, feel free to post them on this Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/greyhaven/ . Soon we will have a “pictures” page on greyhavencommunity.com that will display these images.

Update: The live recording has been posted at the Live Recordings page.
