Bliss for a Cure

We (Bliss) played two amazing events earlier this month;  Concert for  Cure at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye and the Pan Mass Challenge.  Both were fundraisers for Cancer.  Concert for a Cure raises money for breast cancer programs including On Belay.  On Belay is a program that helps children facing the loss of a parent , On Belay.  Check them out at  www.on-belay.org
The Pan Mass Challenge is the single biggest fund raiser for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.  Last year alone they raised $31 million.  Lance Armstrong rode this year.  Listen to Billy Starr the founder and Lance talk about the fight to find a cure @  www.pmc.org
Both locations were beautiful and the people there were all helping to make a difference. Our song Justify captures it pretty well~
 always looking to feel better
 searching for meaning, striving for goals
 but the true joy is in the faces
simple life
belief in a cure
some to hold
did it happen for a reason
can we always find the answer
or do we justify

thanks and
find your bliss

Bliss Evolution

Bliss is changing...
You can look at change with disappointment or as an opportunity.
We see it as an opportunity to evolve.

Carolyn has decided to leave the band to play with Taylor Groove.  We are happy for her, she is playing the Olde Time Music she loves, following her bliss.  We will miss her mandolin, harmonies and unique outlook.  

It gives us the chance to evolve our sound.  We are adding Karen on keyboard for some songs.  Piano is Karen's first instrument, she is an amazing teacher.  I am really looking forward to adding the keyboard in part because when I see Karen play the piano she plays with passion and clearly loves it I know that that will come through in the music.  That is what it is about.  You may even hear Cathy singing harmony in addition to her amazing violin playing.

We hope you find your bliss, 
Follow your Bliss

Thanks, Kristan
(Karen and Cathy)
