Fingerprints: News

Just a note to say thans to Baylor Hospital in Grapevine and Medical Center Arlington for inviting us to perform for Nurses Appreciation Week. Both facilities put on great events and we certainly enjoyed just being there. Call on us anytime we can be of assistance.

You can now hear Fingerprints and other NE artists songs played on itrackRadio.com. This is a very cool site that features mostly unsigned music from artists all over the US. Thanks for all the support and go to this site to listen and check out more.

Hey folks, this is just a note to say Thanks for all the support. Its funny how all things can be summed up in just a day or two. Last Wed we played at Maxwells to a nice engaging warm crowd. Then Thurs it was off to Ft Worth for the Main Street Arts Festival where it proceded to rain thru our ENTIRE show. A few fans stayed to listen but it was very wet. Then on friday, we had a wonderful time outdoors at the N. Richland Hills Sounds of Summer concert. Lori Brown is a top notch organizer and promoter. We were treated so well and the people there did a great job on the show. Thanks also to our favorite sound crew from Pro Audio Systems and Bobby Clouse. Life is full of Joy and Pain, like sunshine and rain. True.

We had a great time Monday night doing the Masterworks concert at Euless Public Library. Everyone was so nice and had lots of interest in us and our music. Some of the listeners had even seen us years ago in our early days. Just glad to still be still in the game making music. We love you madly too!!!

We have been invited to perform at one of Dallas newest music venues. Maxwells has been getting raves in the press and on the street and Fingerprints is honored to debut there on Wednesday the 19th. Special thanks to Sheila Greene for helping to make it all possible.

The band will have some very nice embroidered shirts for sale this spring. They come in various colors but are going fast. As always, you get a free poster with all purchases. Hope to see you at a show soon.

We had a great time playing at the Hurst Public Library. The folks there were really nice and showeed lots of love and gratitude for our show. We hope to see you again at one of our performances. Thanks to ArtsNet for making it all possible.

Last friday was a great show for us. As usual, the folks in SA know how to throw a grown folks party. We look forward to coming back this spring. Thanks JT, Michael Ward and crew.

Vocalist Ardina Lockhart is on a month long tour of Italy with a Gospel stage presentation. She will be performing about 25 shows during December and January. We wish her safe travels and lots of success.

Special thanks to Rachella Parks for inviting us to perform at the First Annual Songs in the Key of Hope Benefit Concert. Many musicians in the Dallas area may know that Parks suffers from this disease but she has been a soldier and champions the cause to raise awareness and funding to find a cure. This concert and lecture was done First Class all the way and you will be hearing more from Fingerprints and NE in the future. Plans are already being made to produce a compilation CD to help the foundation.

Big ups to Kirk Frazier and everyone at the High Note. Things started out a little crazy with a broken elavator but after we got loaded in this place was top shelf. Buffet was good, atmosphere was wonderful and the listeners were feelin' us. We hope to be back there soon. On the low, San Antonio is the BEST grown folks party in Texas!!! Stay just as you are Alamo City.

Thank you Dave Ross for hooking us up with the Westfest gig. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed it. What a cool crowd and the vendors were awesome. We hope to come back next year. Also, thanks to all the new fans that bought CDs.

Hey,
Just a note to say big ups to Tom Braxton on his new CD and major label deal with Rendezvous Ent. Tom has been a a fine performer and educator for years and there is no one more deserving of this recognition. I recently saw him perform at Avanti in Dallas and copped the new CD, Bounce. I am thrilled to say the CD features lots of Dallas talent including Eric Willis, Mark Harper, Ollie Jones, and Jorge Ginorio. Great job fellas. Hope you sell millions.

Vocalist, Ardina Lockhart completed her course work this summer at Texas Woman's Univ in Denton. We are so proud of her and know she will do great things in her future. She now holds a BA in Communication. May her beautiful voice continue to touch music fans everywhere.

Just a note to all our friends and fans that we are currently booking holiday parties so call soon to reserve the group for your special day. We are available for celebrations at your company, residence or just about anyplace we can fit. It is sorta our time to get to know folks up close and personal. Thanks and call with any questions.

One of our favorite places is expanding and will relocate in Fall 2005. Lorna Tate has announced that the venue will move to 1701 S. Lamar sometime in December. We look forward to the new place.

This series at Esplande Park is gonna be big. We loved the vibe and folks seemed to be feelin us too. Location may be a little tucked away but a lot of people found us. We want to get back to that town for another event. It was top shelf. The Town of Addison really gets it. Peace.

We just had a great time playing in Claud's hometown of Wichita, KS. Thanks to all at Urban Nyghts. This is a cozy spot that has really made a name for itself since opening last fall. Hope to be back soon!!!

It is with much sadness that I report the passing of James Lynn Marsh. James has been a friend and musical mentor to our band and countless others over the years. His daughter, Cheryl Jones, has also been a big supporter both on and off stage. Rest in Peace, Landlord of the Blues.
