What's Up 2010?!
May, 9 2010

This year is flashing by, so we are long overdue for an update on all things Esperanza.

The month of April saw the official street date release of the debut full-length from the roster’s most prolific artist to date, Johnny Bertram. Sir Bertram has rolled out an EP and the full length Days That Passed in the preceding twelves months, and reports to have 20 new working tracks in progress. Tour plans are also in the works for another jaunt to the Northwest, with the Golden Bicycles in tow, beginning in August. Until then, Johnny will be playing around the state in the semi-side project/six-piece behemoth Horse Trailer (also feat. fellow Esperanzan TB Ledford). Check out Johnny’s space here to keep up with all things Bertram on the horizon.

Speaking of the horizon (and not the Deepwater one gushing oil toward our Mississippi soil, but we digress), the remainder of 2010 will be chock-full of newly recorded gems. The debut release from TB Ledford, Butcher Bird, will finally take flight in the fall. Also, hibernation ends for Bear Colony, who are presently in the midst of their second studio stint, diligently working to wrap up tracking of their sophomore release. More (frequent) news to follow, we promise. And as always, thanks for the continued support.
