File Under: An Email from The Leaves

Hey all! Just wanted to let you know we'll be playing at the Monkey House this Saturday 05/02/09. We are very sorry to inform you that Matt Harpster, our lead guitar player, has fallen ill over this past week and will not be able to make it to the show. In an effort to fill in the huge void that Harpster leaves us with (seriously, we depend on him!), we are very pleased to announce that we have two special guests who will be gracing us with their presence this weekend. On lead guitar Bob Wagner will join The Leaves for a one time special appearance! And to help out, the lovely Jen Crowell will be singing for most of the evening on harmonies. Please come show your support for The Leaves and also for these two special guests who have been so kind to go out of their way and help us out in a time of need. I am very humbled by their willingness to help us on such short notice.

Jess Clemmons will be taking the stage at 9 pm.
This Frontier Needs Heroes will be playing at 10 pm
The Leaves will play at 11 pm and close out the night.

Also, just wanted to let everyone know that the CDs have SHIPPED! I just got a confirmation and tracking number today, so i will be tracking those boxes on a compulsive basis. Thank you to all who pre-bought the album, they will be out in the mail within two weeks. The extra digital recordings will be available (for those who prebought the album) shortly. Again, thank you, we could not have completed this album without your support.

Hope to see you all on Saturday - any support from you at the show will go a very long way!!!

Much love and best wishes,

Aya

p.s. please feel free to forward this to others if the shoe fits ;)
