Introducing the fourth installment in our ongoing EP The Local Colorists – “We Will Go And…” We’re fully aware that this took entirely too long to release, but we hope it’s worth the wait. This tune has taken on a new life since I originally wrote it then been reborn again after we recorded it last year, and I hope you enjoy the finished product. It’s our first foray into extensive post-production and a somewhat significant departure from our typical fare, but the core quartet is still the star of the show.
The tune features a very talented cast: John Tate, bass; Jon Deitemyer, drums; Lucy Duke, violin; Josh Richter, engineering; Brian Bullard, mixing; Brian Mead, artwork.

This past Thursday, May 12th, we made our national broadcast debut with an hour-long feature on NPR’s JazzSet, hosted by Dee Dee Bridgewater. The show featured Josh’s commissioned work “Touch and Go: The Studs Terkel Project.” You can stream the broadcast and watch a live video from the recording here.

We took the band to San Francisco last weekend for a couple of shows. We had a blast, and the audiences were awesome. One guy posted a video from our house show – a 10 minute excerpt from Josh’s Studs Turkel premier. He didn’t quite spell Moshier-Lebrun Collective right, but who can blame him…
The band premiered Josh’s Studs Turkle Project last night to a capacity crowd at the Chicago Cultural Center. Check out the performance review here:

Ok, ok, so it’s been a while since I’ve posted any updates. Mobrun has 2 new tracks available from our current EP, The Local Colorists: “Helpmeet” and “Sister Winter.” Josh composed the former and arranged the latter. I’m putting the finishing touches on my contributions to the project, so look out over the next month or so! Meanwhile, take a listen to our new cuts:

Also, Micah Gardner has graced us with his video vision and produced a captivating motion collage illustrating Sister Winter: Think “artsy, opposite-of-katy-perry-esque music video” or just check it out on youtube.

After 70.3 miles (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, then 13.1 mile run) and over 6 nonstop hours, I just finished my first half-ironman triathlon today! Thanks to everybody who supported me in my insanity, especially my parents who were able to make it out to the race. Now I’ll hopefully have some more time to focus on music.
