News from the Romack’s.
February 2nd, 2010 by RomackI hardly update my blog anymore, which is a bit sad seeing as I pay good money to keep it online. So, let me catch you up on how my life has unfolded over the past month or so.
I finally graduated! Ridiculous, I know. And, quickly I became another tally in the line of unemployed Americans in this struggling economy. I’ve been calling around, searching online, networking, and praying hard that a job would come my way. As of now, I have no definitive leads - but, who does right now? It’s hard to find a job for folks who have been working for the past 20 years, let alone a recent college grad. I’ve been working on my “Ten Commandments for Individuals with Disabilities”, which is currently in a proposal to be published. And - that leads me to some other big news.
Some of you know, over the past few months I’ve been working some with my buddies, Josh and Ben, of Clairmont in Bryan/College Station. Clairmont is an indie alternative rock group that has had a ton of success over the past couple years, and has a phenomenal sound. I was thrilled to get the opportunity to work with them for that short time, but quickly realized that I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them. So, as of last weekend, I made my commitment to the band as their new drummer. It’s an incredibly exciting opportunity for Angela and I, and I’m thrilled you guys can be a part of it with us.
So, what does that mean for the Romack’s? Well - it means a lot of traveling on weekends, but a ton of new experiences to share with our friends and family. Being about 150 miles away from the guys has been a tough situation for us over the past couple months, so our ideal scenario would be a move to the BCS area this summer - but no solid plans have been made as of yet. We know that we need to be there for the most favorable conditions for the band’s success, but want our move to be just right for us. If you can be praying for what that looks like - we’d appreciate it!
OK - so how do you all fit into this? Well, a band needs fans, right? Simple enough. Here’s a couple places you can check us out at:
(a) The official website for Clairmont is at www.clairmontonline.com. You can find out all sorts of info on what we’re up to and all that jazz. You can also subscribe to the Clairmont newsletter, which has info about events, exciting news and opportunities, contests, and much more.
(b) MySpace - The Clairmont MySpace page can be found at www.myspace.com/clairmont. There are details about the band, some audio demos, videos, pictures, and much, much more. Become our friends, and spread the word about our music.
(c) Facebook - Become our fan on FB. It’s easy - just visit www.facebook.com/clairmontmusic.
(d) iTunes - You can purchase the latest Clairmont record, “Strength Like Lions”, on iTunes.
(e) Fill us in on places you think we should be playing at. If you want us on your local radio station, drop us a line at info@clairmontonline.com and tell us which station or venue we should be contacting.
I’m incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity and look forward to sharing details as they happen. I’ll still be playing with folks like Todd Wright, Christie Cook, Daniel Vencil, and others, so you’ll get an assortment of musical mead from me over the next few months.
Thanks for popping in on the blog!
