Bad Asses.

Our drummer, AJ, will be leaving us shortly. He'll travel south to work in the music industry as a producer/engineer/audio guy. Does this mean the end of the Workshop??



Quitting ain't the Workshop Mentality, man. We will persevere!

The Workshop is about three things: 1. making music, 2. having fun while making music, 3. becoming a better musician. We don't need a set line-up to do those. We don't need a weekly gig either. We need people - anyone - who is serious about exploring music. The line-up will change with time, but the band will endure!

That said, we are currently looking for a new drummer - if you know anyone (or if you're interested in auditioning), shoot us an email at thejazzworkshop@hotmail.com. If you play another instrument - accordion or Dobro, for instance - and want to jam along, contact us, too. Or just show up at the gig. This is about the music, man. Period. The end. Case closed. Myth busted. Hasta la vista. Goodbye!

Still alive.

We've posted some recordings to this blog. You can listen with the player at left. Three songs are up there right now. Zack and I (Chris) are also working on some recordings.

The band has been thinking about our future. AJ is leaving us in June to travel south and work on a career in the recording industry. I'll be leaving in September to live in the forest. What will become of the Workshop??

More on that soon.
