Greetings, everyone! We had a great summer, and we're looking forward to autumn and the Holiday season. In fact, we've been spending a lot of time in the studio working on our new holiday album!
In this issue:
We've got some great shows coming up this fall season. This week we'll be returning to Staples, MN. In October we'll be performing again at the Corn Maze in Watertown, MN. To top it all off, we'll be playing not one, but two shows at the convention center in Rapid City, SD.
Staples is a beautiful small town located in central Minnesota between Wadena and Brainerd. It's worth the drive from St. Cloud, Detroit Lakes, or New York Mills. Come celebrate the end of summer with us this Thursday!
There's no better way to kick off fall than by getting lost in a 700,000 square foot corn maze! Don't worry, it's easy to find your way back out - just listen for the Four Shadow music. Come see us play this fun event next month in Watertown (just west of the Twin Cities).
For the last two years, we've joined Rapid City's A Cappella Showcase in a spectacular holiday show. The show isn't just for the holidays anymore - this year, we'll be singing high-energy pop, rock, and country hits on Saturday night (11/18) and again at a matinee show Sunday (11/19). Don't be surprised if you hear different songs each show, we like to mix it up! This concert supports a great cause.

We're
all pretty sure global warming is a problem, and we in the US bear the
brunt of the burden since 1 in every 9 gallons of oil in that's sold is
burned in a vehicle on a US roadway.
We in Four Shadow are concerned about this, especially since we drive
a lot more than the average American (our van takes us 35,000 to 50,000
miles a year around the country.) Since we tow our gear, we don't get
very good gas mileage either (though at least we're a carpool.)
One day, we hope to drive a very low emission (or zero-emission) vehicle,
but in the meantime, we've purchased a TerraPass to reduce our carbon
footprint all the way to zero.
When you buy a TerraPass, your money funds renewable energy projects such
as wind farms. These projects result in verified reductions in greenhouse
gas pollution. And these reductions counterbalance your own emissions.
We think this is a great idea, and we encourage everyone to consider getting
one. For more information, check out: http://www.terrapass.com

We've got a great new way for you to introduce your friends and family to Four Shadow music - Myspace!
Four Shadow now has an official MySpace page. If you're a member, add us! If not, you can still check out the page:
http://www.myspace.com/fourshadowofficial
Why visit the Four Shadow myspace page? How about...
- As we record our next album (yes, we're already started studio work on it), we'll post some new mp3s only on our myspace page. You'll be able to hear some of our new stuff months before you can get it on CD!
- We'll be updating the blog with news, thoughts, and more.
- You can post comments, share tracks with friends, join one of several Four Shadow discussion groups, meet other fans, and more!
In just three months we've gone from 0 to over 2800 myspace friends. Thanks for the support and enthusiasm!
