Dear Friends and Family:

It is with great excitement and pride that we are formally announcing the release of our Special Limited Edition DVD/CD set which was filmed and recorded on our recent US tour. With the exception of someone sticking a B&W camera at the back of a theater in the 70′s, this is the first time Renaissance has ever been filmed and professionally recorded in concert.

The love and energy bestowed upon us by those of you that were able to attend, reflects in our performance. It is especially exciting for us to have fans all around the world able to see and hear our wonderful new band. We now have five strong vocalists within the band, two keyboard players, an orchestral drummer/percussionist and phenomenal bass player who capture all the lush and richness of our orchestrations.

During the shooting of the backstage interview footage on the DVD we were asked ‘”what’s different about your fans today than when you started?” I answered after giggling… ha ha “they’re older!” Well for the most part we ‘have grown up’ together and truly feel a closeness that we can all share together in our music.

Well, that’s enough blabbing… let the music and show speak for itself.
We thank you for your support and friendship.

Love

Annie and Michael

Hi Everyone

My goodness, what a day Friday, September 23rd was! We arrived at the Keswick Theatre 2 hours later than scheduled due to a tire blow-out in the middle of a torrential rain storm as we made our way up from Virginia. Notwithstanding that unexpected mess, I had a lot of fun driving everyone batty as I tried out my new IPHONE 4 and video taped our soundcheck. I guess there was no better spot to shoot from than right there on stage!

Anyway, the sound check was very exciting since we (professionals, not me) were filming it and the show; lots of action in all areas!
The show was very special as were our warm very appreciative (and loud) audience.

We are releasing a special limited edition DVD/Double CD package in November, available through our website only. Oh my oh my… just in time to tuck us under your Christmas tree. We’ll keep you posted with all the details. Time for me to get back to working on the artwork, booklet and editing. Bye for now…

Love,

Annie

Despite the Volcano with the longest name in history performing a disruptive yet ‘spectacular’ show of it’s own, Michael Dunford has found his way over the pond for the May 1st ‘Rites of Spring Festival’ in Gettysburg, PA.

Rehearsals now in progress!
