Studio Update!

Risen Son Studios, Beckly, WV
The Turn Around has been in the studio for the past couple months recording our new record. Monday we finished tracking instruments and now all we have to do is vocals!
We are so excited for everyone to hear it. We have been working very hard on putting just the right things together to make it sound great at Sound Advocate Studios( formally known as Risen Son Studios) in Beckly, WV. Dave Myers, our amazing producer and sound engineer, has done a great job and giving the record a very professional sound.

We are taking a break for a few weeks so Dave Myers can move into his new studio in Nashville and then Me and Dave Miller are going down to do vocals and finish the album at the end of June! It is going to be released some time in July. A definite due date will be announced soon!

Also, we have already released a single called "The Absence of You" that you can hear by going to our myspace!

Camp

Last weekend, we played at Camp Tarhe in Blue Creek, Ohio. With GPS in hand, we left Milton, WV at 1:15am. The trip was supposed to take 1 1/2 at the very most, but ended up taking 5 1/2 hours! We started the trip by typing the camp address into our GPS, which a few hours later took us to a wood pile somewhere in Ohio. We then turned around and tried typing it in again which eventually took us to the camp. 
We arrived at the camp around 6:30am and it was foggy and dark. By far one of the most scary places I have ever seen at night. 
We almost passed up the camp, but found it thanks to the sign.
As we pulled into the camp it looked deserted from all the fogg, we couldn't see anything. 
Me, Dave, and Jarrod got out of the car to look for a place to sleep and found a cabin, stacked some of the mattresses that were in it, and fell asleep. Falling asleep there was very easy because it was poring the rain on a tin roof and the sound of it was like a lullaby, it was pretty awesome!
The next morning we woke up and the camp didn't look scary at all...in fact it was pretty cool.
The camp counselors were there and they told us they hadn't cleaned the cabin we decided to stay in because they didn't think anyone would go in it, and had brand new bunk beds waiting for us to sleep in. I thought it was cool staying in the cabin we stayed in though.

While we were setting up for the concert that afternoon, we found this old piano.

1849
On it, it said it was from 1849! I believe it has been sitting there that long also...lol
To our surprise it was actually playable, not only playable, but in good condition considering it had definitely been sitting there a while. The keys stuck a lot, but with a little work, you could play it fine. 
The crowed was great and everyone at the camp was extremely nice, and cooked us some awesome food! =]
So if anyone from the camp reads this...We looooved playing there and we defiantly want to come back sometime!
