Check out our new Website!

I (Stephanie) have completely redesigned the look and feel of the band's website. Many kudos to Tiffany Allemand who designed the first website. She is so creative and the look was wonderful. Unfortunately, it was so complex, that it was impossible for me to maintain it. The new look is simpler and I hope easier to navigate. And since I built the site, it should be much easier to keep up to date! So, check it out and let me know what you think! You can comment here or drop me an email at steph2stepper@aol.com.

And, check out the band's facebook page (search for Red River Breeze). We are always eager for more friends and that is the place where I post late breaking info - especially if something occurs that keeps us from playing at The Looking Glass on the coming Friday night.

Our next event - other than our standing Friday night performances at The Looking Glass - is our concert at Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN, Sunday, February 13th from 4:00 to 5:00. We are looking forward to the opportunity to play in a concert venue and hope to see you there!

It's a New Year!

Happy New Year to all of our friends and fans and now that the holiday season is over, we am eagerly awaiting spring! Red River Breeze had a busy December - we played at 11 events before Christmas. This year we had an extensive repetoire of traditional Christmas tunes and carols - some of them pretty obscure (I think those are the best kind!). Our arrangements of this repetoire is becoming pretty cool, I think so there just may be - finally - a Christmas CD in our future. Of course, this means recording Christmas music in the summer to be ready by winter - which is a tough sell for all of us!

The band's schedule is starting to expand with the new year also. Several events are coming up in the next few months with more that are being firmed up so they haven't shown up on the schedule yet. We love playing our music so come on out to wherever we are to hear us and we love talking to you about all things related to Celtic music, traditional music and traditional instruments!
