Our good friend, Curt Hutchens, with Casey Smith and KnottBrite Studio, ripping some tasteful solos for the new Nasty Notes record, "The Higher You Climb."

Sounds from Heaven

Bobbi Miller laid down vocals on a few songs for us, including our song 'Gravel Road.' What a treat to hear this voice of an angel! We're so honored to be working with her!

The Nasty Notes - CD Release Party

The Nasty Notes CD Release Party happened on Sunday, Feb. 20th, at McKracken's Pub in Burnsville, MN, in the middle of a 20 inch snowstorm, that basically brought the Twin Cities to a crawl. But in true rock'n roll spirit, the show went on! Thanks to Casey Smith, Spencer Lovdal, Craig Holets, Ryan Inselman, Dan Jensen for a great show. And Ethan Bouchard for running sound. We hope to do it again, soon, and hope you can make it out!

Here's a great, great slideshow and some incredible photos taken by Cori Miller. Check out more of her work at deFine Art Studio. Enjoy!
