My photos from Sunday night’s release show for Bluebird are now up on Flickr.

So, Eric has been writing more about his next record: about how he’s having Ben play some acoustic guitar parts, and how unlike with most records, they’re tracking acoustic guitars first.

People ask us every year, so we’ve gone ahead and asked for you:

• Garett Buell - drums
• Todd Bragg – perc
• Cason Cooley – bass
• Gabe Scott – utilities
• Andrew Osenga – guitar
• Ben Shive – keys
• Andy Gullahorn – guitar
• Jill Phillips – vocals
• Bebo Norman – guest
• Andrew Peterson – guitar / vocals

If you follow along, that’s pretty much who was out last year.

Eric noted yesterday that he’d put up notes about the songs on Scarce, which he calls Debriefings. [I love that.] Scarce now has a full list of Debriefings, and if you hit his Sounds page, click on any to see the debriefing for that song.

There is a great interview of Jill Phillips in Infuze Magazine. Jill talks about the craft of songwriting and gives us a peek behind the curtain.

Radiant magazine has a great article on Jill Phillips. She’s in the Artists to Watch section. It should be on newsstands now. Relevant magazine will have an article on Jill in the November/ December issue. We’ll let you know as soon as it hits the newsstands. Plus, more dates have been added so take another gander at the tour dates and see if Jill Phillips will be in a town near you.

It’s September 1st.
