2008 In Review

As we look back over 2008 for DWB it was a hard year but a very fruitful one. We kicked the New Year off by releasing an incredible new album called "One Tribe" and followed up quickly with a DVD that captured the CD release party(DWB Live NYE 2008). Our friends from Streamline Pictures then helped us film "Dishwater Blonde Unplugged at World Grotto" which we just released. It was a whirlwind of editing and cutting and splicing and mixing and remixing. We spent many hours in Nightsong Studios mixing the audio and many more hours with Nick and Joey at Streamline editing the video, all within the 1st half of the hear. The shows didn’t slow down, life and music didn’t stop as we marched forward, sometime very weary but always feeling blessed to be able to do this. What an amazing accomplishment that God allowed us to do. We released a CD and 2 DVD’s in less than a year, WOW! Hopefully we can sell a million of them now. There have been so many blessings we don’t even know where to begin but in the face of an uncertain economy Dishwater Blonde was blessed in ways that didn’t make sense to most folks. Lots of shows, lots of music, lots of good memories. During the year a couple of things to note are the side projects that have popped up. The New Power Trio was formed with Robby, Davis and Big Noise and then Cozmo’s new side project was formed and is really picking up momentum, "Cruise Control". Davis is working on a new project with Jesse Jones and should be out sometime maybe late spring. All this to say it has been a very good year and we still LOVE playing music as DWB and will continue on in 2009. Some of the major highlights of the year for DWB include the recent trip to St. Louis with our friends The Fundamental Elements. We had an incredible time laughing and rocking out with a bunch of really good folks who made us remember WHY we do this! We will do it again in ‘09. Robby got married this year, WOW! Davis stepped out in faith and has begun doing full time ministry this year. Cozmo got 2 play with Robert Randolph 2 different times this year! Diva got a new job and Gerald got a new custom drumkit from Medicine Man drums who now endorse GW. Every single time we played Barley’s in our hometown this year, we played to a packed house, what an awesome year. We will close out this year by playing the Peach Drop in Atlanta and we’re excited because Atlanta is like our 2nd home. 2008 was a Blessed year and we look forward to what God is gonna do in 2009. Hold on, I think it’s gonna be a wild ride!
