Rising Regina Completes Line-up with Full Band!

Hello all. As some of you know we have added two new members to the Rising Regina family in Pat Rein and Dave "Funk Daddy" Traugh. They will be rounding out the band with a rhythm section as Pat will be our percussionist and Dave will be our stand up bassist.

Now a little about the guys:

Pat Rein:
Pat Rein is a musician at heart. He has played percussion instruments since 2002 and also plays piano, acoustic and electric guitar. Pat is fresh out of high school from Columbus , Ohio where he developed his percussion skills in several styles as

a member of his school's wind ensemble, symphonic, and marching bands. With these bands Pat has performed in places such as Carnegie Hall and the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii . He also enjoys jamming with friends and musicians from local bands. Pat is excited to be apart of Rising Regina and eager to blend his sound with the band this coming summer.

Dave Traugh:

David has grown up in a family of musicians and has been playing bass for 8 years. He has never regretted his choice to play the bass, absolutely loving his role in a band.

Dave has played in various jazz groups in the Pittsburgh area, including the the Pittsburgh Jazz Society Student Big Band. When he was 9 years old, David was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma and underwent Chemo Therapy, ever since then David has strived not to take anything in life for granted and loves every minute he is playing his bass.

We hope you are all as excited about this as we are and we will be starting to perform as a full band in early June so look out!

That is all

!IMPORTANT! CD Problems! - Great Crowd Last Night

First of all we'd like to thank everyone who came out to Nite Courts last night and made it such a fun time for all of us. It was our first real good experience with crowd reaction and participation and we had a blast.

On that note, many of you bought CD's last night and it's already becoming quite apparant that some of the CD's sold came without the most important part. THE CD!

As a result, we now have to go through our entire inventory of CD's and make sure the rest are OK, which we plan on doing today.

If you are in possession of one of those invisible CD's, please send us an e-mail at band@risingregina.com with the following information:

Your Name

# of Defective CD's

Whether you intend to have them mailed to you -OR- whether you'd like to pick them up at the next show you come to

Mailing Address (If you choose to have it sent to you through the mail)

We are VERY sorry for any inconvenience and we promise we're not trying to steal from you by giving you nothing when you give us $5 of your hard earned pay to listen to our CD. So make sure you let us know about the CD's as fast as possible so we can get this fixed in a timely manner.

Thanks Everyone!
