Fly To The Sun continues to move along, recently adding virtuoso violinist Joe Deninzon to the band. Joe is also violinist for the great prog rock band, Kansas, and has played with many great artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, The Who, and many others. He is a very skilled and innovative musician, and his work adds a wonderful new dimension to the album.The project is moving along in a very structured way and is approaching completion. Ray says, “We want to take our time and make the songs great. We will release the album when the songs are all ripe. Green fruit is never good!” So the band continues to work hard to make these songs something special. We’ll keep you posted. Hope you are all having a great summer!

We have decided to expand the scope of the project into an album. We are currently working on additional songs to add to the project, and are very excited about the progress. We are taking our time to ensure that each song has the uniqueness we are striving to achieve, and yet keeping with the progressive pop/art rock theme of the music. Thanks for your continued patience on the release. It will be worth the wait!

We wanted to update you on the progress of our album project. Out of respect for the wonderful people of Ukraine and that region of Europe, we felt this was not a good time to release upbeat music when people were going through such difficult and heartbreaking times. We will wait till this awful situation resolves before proceeding with the release of the music. Having said that, we continue to put together the infrastructure for the music and Universe Records label, and are also working on more new, exciting music to fill in the downtime. We have an excellent song in the works currently that we think has great potential. We will also consider other songs as time and schedules permit, to expand the scope of the record.

Concerning the timing of the release of our album… We have been very busy setting up an extensive plan for the record, including a publicist for PR, radio, reviews, interviews, etc. Also, we have made decisions on manufacturing, social media, distribution, video, etc. Lots to this folks! But our structured, methodical plan will result in a great record with interesting and professional aspects, radio airplay, reviews, and corporate licensing (more on that soon). In the meantime, let’s fly to the sun….spring is coming! Good luck to you all and please check back soon.
