Summer News Vol 2: Europe Run, CD Release & New Festivals
Greetings from Europe!! We've done 4 shows so far here in the old
country, 1 left to go (our second show in Amsterdam, tonight). The
reception we've received in Europe has been amazing, and the
experiences we've had at the festivals and on our vacation days have been even better. Looking forward to heading to Switzerland next month for sure.
But back to the news, OCTOBER 21 will be the release date of the new studio CD from The Bridge, on Hyena Records. Stay tuned for details regarding the release party, etc. The tour picks up almost as soon as the plane lands back on US soil, see below for the dates.
Also, we've accepted invitations from Gathering of the Vibes
(Bridgeport CT) and the ATMA Rising Music Festival (Buffalo NY), in
August. More information on those events is available thru their
websites.
We cant thank you enough , again, for your support which has now brought the music of The Bridge around the world....
See you on the road !

With apologies to Arthur Miller, who wrote the one-act play A View from the Bridge and first produced on Broadway in 1955 about corruption on the Brooklyn docks, Jambands.com offers its own view from The Bridge lead guitarist and vocalist, Cris Jacobs.
Signed to Hyena Records in 2007 with a self-titled release that mixes bluegrass, rock, country, funk, soul and good ole jam into a unique blend, The Bridge finds itself on and off the road after five-plus years and ready to hit The Bunker Recording Studio in Cockeysville, Maryland to record their follow-up album in March.
As Jacobs will explain in this feature, The Bridge is focusing on the art of songwriting after years of blending various influences into their own brand of live improvisational magic. And to be sure, the band has quite a loyal following, especially in their hometown Baltimore area. With that in mind, Jacobs is determined to push the band to the next level. “I feel like the focus of the band is a band that writes good tunes and still improvises in a live setting. I’m starting to realize that first things first—let’s write some good songs.”
