Prince William Living Magazine is Shakin’ it Up.
The December 2011 issue of Prince William Living features a story about our band. There was plenty of drama reported including details on our name change, recording of our EP album and the loss of a band member to cancer. This is a quality magazine that promotes local entertainment, community service and business. It’s a great place to advertise too.
Album now on iTunes
We had the honor of recording at Cue Recording Studios in Falls Church VA, in spring 2011. Cue’s client list includes Michael Jackson, Madonna, Aretha Franklin and now, Shake It Up. We completed mixing those tracks and in August, they were released on iTunes!
Special thanks to Cue engineer Carl Moore who did an excellent job recording and mixing these tracks!
