First song for Hansel and Gretel is done! Listen at www.sparrowtree.org!

Witches Have Red Eyes, the third song in Hansel and Gretel, has now been completed! At this point, it’s the only song in the show to be mixed and recorded and ready for people to hear! One of my favorite musicians/singer/songwriters is Zach Condon of the group, Beirut. A lot of the music for this show is inspired by his sound. I am so grateful to the SparrowTree members for really pulling together and making this happen. It just wouldn’t have been the same without their help and passion for the project. This was truly a collaborative process, from Chad mixing to Dustin singing and Garrison playing the djembe.

Last Monday we all drove an hour out of the city to a forest to film some footage to go with the song. We were all freezing and looked rather insane I’m sure running through the forest (with Angie in her hooded witch cloak -- long, brown and tattered, Dustin in his knickers and knee socks, and Garrison running around chanting with a tambourine). We were all freezing by the end, but the finished product will be totally worth it. The video will be the next thing to go up on the site, so be sure to check back! This song is a great example of collaboration and teamwork and I’m so proud that we made it happen. Thank you SparrowTree!
