Writing and Rehearsal Session
(click photos to enlarge)

During the week of August 7, 2006, Steve and the band traveled to Vinny Valentino's house in the Adirondacks (upstate New York) to write new music for the upcoming Vital Information record. The beautiful setting on Tupper Lake set the stage for creativity, jamming, relaxation, and a little fun.

Set up in the cozy cabin, the band worked on brand new music that they plan to further refine in a live setting before recording in December. The band was very excited about the interesting moods and melodies that emerged from these sessions.

Of course, it wasn't all work at the lake house. Tom helped keep everyone entertained and there was a little wine to help everyone unwind after a hard day's work. The band definitely had a ball making music together during a beautiful week on the lake.

Beautiful Tupper Lake	Steve's shows off his Tala Wands to a friend	Baron Browne studies his charts
This is how it all begins	Ready to play	Laying it down
Tom entertains the group	Time to get to work	Time to go out on the lake!
