For those of you who have listened to our music for a while, you may recognize this track "Thinking Back". We are including it on our "Aeon" album. More tracks on the way... stay tuned 🎶

"Some dreams never meant to sleep, rise up with the morning sun.” Electrified In Blue The lyrics of this song were put to the page a long time ago. It started as more of a poem than a song. I dug this up from one of my old journals. It has turned into a collaborative exchange with Ivette Torres-Albano and I rewriting and tweaking to taste. The music sprang quickly, blending synth and other effects to our more traditional songwriting style. We were fortunate to have some great players on this track. Shout outs to Gary Settoducato for his awesome drum work and Kevin McLeod for his wonderful guitar, and of course Attenulus Page killing it on the production end of things. Thanks for listening. - Tom

… Believe it if you need it Or leave it if you dare ... Box Of Rain. When a song resonates on a personal level, when you can take and hold a song throughout your life and it continues to have meaning, it’s meaning better with age. When words DON'T fall short and you relate in unknowable ways to its magic, intricate as life itself. This track has stood strong, and to me, I have always related to it on a very personal level, to me its a lesson in life, that even though all must pass, love stays strong. Love to Erich Stollberger for his drum work and Kevin McLeod for his awesome guitar work, Jeff Pearlman for his beautiful keyboard playing and of course our partner in crime RJ Caps for his strong production. Please give it a listen when you have a chance. Thank You. Tom

“I can feel it, feel it coming…" We are happy to present a new track. This one is called "Honey in the Heart". EV’s vocals are as clear as a bell, strong harmonies coupled with tip-top phrasing. My bass weaves in and out of a synth dreamscape helping to shape the story and Ron's production is tight and focused, meticulous and cared for. Please take a few minutes to listen, we would love to hear some feedback. Thanks EV & Tom

EVTB - No Medicine

"Put your hands up, and clear your mind, Ive got a fire that is burning deep inside…"

This is as close to a dance track as we have come in many moons. The bass and synth working in wondrous synchronicity. The vocals and harmonies are straight up awesome! Very creative, catchy and melodic. Another fun departure for us. Much credit to @RJ Caps for his insane production skills (@attenulus page).

Please listen and let us know what you think. Thank you.

We’ve been getting into electronic based styles of music, which is the way that I (EV) started out making music back in the day.  Check this one out.  Just getting around to uploading onto Youtube.  More to come!

I’m so excited about the first song I was able to get my daughter Elise to sing on.  Her younger sister Elena will be joining us on some future tracks as well.  We wrote this song together during our nighttime routines... books, singing...etc.  Stay tuned for more...

EV's Martin GPCPA4 Acoustic

Hello everyone :) This post about my Martin Acoustic. I was searching for a while for an acoustic that I loved and finally found it. I played many, many acoustics before picking this one out. I love the feel and tone of it! It sounds great both unplugged and plugged in. It has a really nice vintage looking finish on it and I love the wood’s tone. It’s nice to have the built in tuner in it too :) I play this guitar a lot live, since I play mostly at smaller venues and open mics. Wherever I’ve played it so far, it always gets a nice sound, and I get a lot of positive comments about it. Here are some basic specs… Martin GPCPA4 Shaded acoustic-electric Body Shape Grand Performance 14-Fret Body Style Single Cutaway Top Wood Solid Sitka Spruce Back & Sides Wood Solid Sapele Electronics Fishman F1 Analog You can see more info. on from the Martin website about this model here: https://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/performing-artist-series/gpcpa4- We haven't recorded anything with it yet, but I'll post here when we do :)

Hi everyone! We never got around to sharing our latest recording ��The Wild Of The World” here on Tumblr. We were very fortunate to have Katie Pearlman play drums and sing some backing vocals for us on this track, as well as Joseph Rodriguez on lead guitar! They both added their great styles and talent, which made us really happy with our final track! We have it up on many different sites, which you could find through our website, but here is the YouTube link to it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Fbz7IPSYE Hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it! Let us know what you think :)

We’ll be back with our next track really soon!

Tom and I have been working more on writing songs together. He wrote the lyrics and came up with the cool groove rhythm for this song. We worked together to arrange the song, and we got some special guests to play on it. First time we ever had violin on one of our recordings :) More songs on the way... Special Guests: Jeff Pearlman - Organ and Backing Vocals myspace.com/jeffpearlman Bill Ayasse - Violin bluefroggstudio.com Ana Gori - Backing Vocals www.facebook.com/AnaGori -EV

Tom created this single release art using a photo of my aunt Ofelita who just recently passed away. The photo was taken of her as a young girl in Cuba. I feel (and my family thinks so too), that she looks very much like me in this photo!I still haven’t internalized fully that she’s gone. This photo helps me think of all the times I’ve shared with her. I feel connected to her.

You can listen to the track and see more information about the recording here: https://evtband.bandcamp.com/track/days-end

"Box of Rain"

So, we decided to do a cover of “Box of Rain.” EV and I put it together rather quickly in garageband and I like how it turned out, all instruments are live. We used good gear, Adesigns REDDI for the instruments and a nice tube mic into a Steinberg UR44 interface. If you listen dig the vocal harmonies! Thanks! http://evtband.bandcamp.com/track/box-of-rain
