Hiya folks...
Just a quick update. As of our last rehearsal (Tuesday December 18th), we have decided on a new name. While Jesse and I dreaded getting back into the "name game" in an attempt to come up with a moniker we all liked, we were relieved when Matt came in with a few really good suggestions. One of which we all actually agreed upon....
And so as of now we are TOBELA!
We will be taking the next week and a half off to celebrate the holidays and spend time with loved ones, but we will return at the beginning of next year with new recordings, shows and a whole lot more!!!!
Happy Holidays and we'll see ya soon.....

Change is in the air...
And so, one chapter closes and another begins.
It's been a while since I've posted so I'll cover a couple things during the course of this post.
First, Jesse and I wrapped up our tenure as an acoustic duo with our final performance commencing the night of Friday, October 26th at the Nomad Cafe in Oakland. Quite an intimate venue with good acoustics and as such we performed sans microphones. It was an enjoyable show performed for some of our friends whom had showed up to support us along with passers-by stopping in for a cuppa joe or a tea. The other act on the bill, a great singer/songwriter simply known as Nomad, was a treat to watch and was extremely kind and respectful in sticking around for the duration of our set. Here is a photo of Jesse and I playing taken via camera phone as well as a photo with Nomad (on the far left) and KC Turner (on the right) who runs the Novato open mic and is a wonderful singer/songwriter as well.
Also, we have been lucky enough to find another band mate in a fantastic singer/songwriter/guitarist named Matt Wilson. We have been rehearsing and writing with him for the past few weeks and plan to record and play out extensively in the near future.
Now Jesse and I can get back to doing what we do best instrumentally...be the rhythm section!
Onward and upward....
