Island Out of Time released! Kids Winter Fun. Soundside Studio News. Lou Guitar Advice

Molasses Creek’s new national release 
An Island Out of Time” is back from the presses!
 
Hey there fans!
The quest for Molasses Creek world domination is still on track!  We just received the new album back from the duplicators and we think it's a gem, pleasing to the ears and the eyes!  Those of you who picked up a copy of our last regional release, Catharsis, might notice track similarities to “An Island Out of Time.”  Here is the story behind the new album.
         Back in 2011, Molasses Creek crossed paths with Kari Estrin at the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance in Montreat, NC.  Kari specializes in Artist Consulting and Management, assisting musicians in developing their careers and music.  In the fall of last year, we completed a workshop with her and decided to continue work with her on the national promotion of a Molasses Creek album with the aim at increasing our US touring.  Instead of creating an entirely new project, we returned to our 2011 release, Catharsis, asking her advice on transforming the recording into an album that would showcase and introduce Molasses Creek to the national/international stage. After two month of analyzing, re-shaping, re-recording, and mixing, we fired off the new release (complete with new title and layout) for reproduction. 
         Mid-February “An Island Out of Time” will be sent to 540 folk radio DJs in the US, Canada, and Europe.  We’ll keep you posted as the reports come in from the radio airplay in March.  The album is available now on iTunes as well as through the Molasses Creek website.  Later this month it will be up and running Amazon mp3, Spotify, EMusic, Zune, Rhapsody, Nokia, & VerveLife.  Here is a link to the iTunes site if you want to download tracks.
