HI! Sorry we have not written in so long we have been in a clinical depression since loosing the two Juno Award nominations we had. Actually the Juno we wanted to win was the Juno Award for Customer Service…No, I know it sounds kinda tacky for artists to be so publicly ambitious, questing after an award, especially the coveted Customer Service nod, but it’s just that we care deeply about how much fun you have when you come out to see a Manteca show. We want you to have a great customer experience of a cultural kind. From the moment you enter the theatre with your hidden snacks, or "outside food", to the moment you buy all of the Manteca merchandising, including the matching luggage and environmentally approved washer dryer, to the moment you are busted in the parking lot after the show for indecent exposure in your car with your girlfriend / boyfriend/ significant other / customer service rep. We care. Our lawyers are standing by to help.
We’ve got some great shows coming up and the tour we wrapped in October was simply the best set of shows we have ever done, so hope we can connect with you soon.
New album in the fall! Stand by.
Onward!

February 19th, 2008 - Finally some news!

So many good things to report. Tonight Tuesday Feb. 19, 2008 on CBC Radio 2 (cbc.ca) you can hear the concert we did at the Tulipe in Montreal in Oct. 07. It was produced by Frank Opolko and it’s rather good and modesty is one of our best qualities. In fact we like it so much we will be releasing it as our tenth record, some time in the not so distant future.

Other good news, we have two nominations for the Juno Awards, Contemporary Jazz Album of the year and our engineer for the record, Jeff Wolpert, was nominated for Engineer of the Year.

Okay enough bragging.

Onward!
