Greetings public!

 Again, I apologize for taking so long to finally update my website, or if nothing else a new entry. 

First things first, I have CHANGED my email address to Andrewbowers.bassist@gmail.com  so if you have any booking requests, please re-direct your emails there and make the changes to your address book!!!

 Okay, now onto actually filling you all in:

West of Eden just released our EP:  Sing if You Sing: The Overture   on July 15th in Omaha, NE at a venue called, The PS Collective.  Since then we have been booking shows to support this album, and will likely be at the heaviest of our booking in early fall!!  Gotta admit, we are very excited for the growth of this band!

In my own personal career, I recently acquired a teaching job that is completely awesome!  I get to work with kids who form a band and teach them all the finer things about being in an ensemble:  Writing tunes, arranging, dynamics of the band, image, business, presswork, and feeding their growth and hunger for making it in the modern day rock scene!  They have been absolutely great and a real treat to work with!  Looking forward to seeing them again in the fall!!!

As for my practice routine, I will admit, not too much has changed, though the minor things that have are crucial landmarks in my own playing.  I have begun to listen to other artists more, transcribe more, and spend a lot of my time refining my technique, touch on the bass, tone settings, etc. It has worked wonderfully and I write everything in my practice journal!  

I strongly recommend for you people that actually follow this if you are a musician to keep a practice journal and mark your progress and celebrate the milestones you pass!

Till my next post, take care!

Andy
