Misty River is making live recordings of our "Farewell for Now" shows. Professional filmmaker Spence Palermo will film our concerts this weekend in Eugene 6/3 and Umpqua 6/5, and audio engineers Chris Bergstrom and Dale Adkins will record our concerts next weekend in Bend 6/10 and Ridgefield 6/11 (sold out) & 6/12. We hope after a little mixing and editing we’ll have some video and audio recordings to share with you, including some of the unrecorded songs you have been asking for over the past several years. For details on our last concerts, visit our Concert Schedule page.

After fourteen years and five CDs, Misty River is planning to take a break from performing and recording starting this July. We hope you will come out and see us during our last run of shows for 2011. Will we perform again after that? The real answer is we don’t know. We love singing harmony together, and that desire may bring us back for some concerts down the road, but starting this summer, we are going to let ourselves prioritize other aspects of our lives. It is a difficult decision, but one that will be good for all of us. To all our faithful friends and fans, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! For those of you new to Misty River, please check out our music page--we have five great CDs (and individual song downloads) currently available.
