January Recap!

January was an eventful month for Francesca and the 440 Hum. In addition to rolling out the new band name, we had our first gig of 2012 at The Steaming Cup. January 7^th we set up in our usual spot at The Cup and play to a wonderful audience. They got to hear a brand new song called “Small and Quiet Love”. It has a Spanish feel to it which is jokingly referred to as “fauxmenco” since it was a written by a Jewish lady from Chicago. We also performed a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire”. The crowd was very receptive to both securing those songs in future set lists. It was a very good time and we look forward to our next performance which will be February 18^th at The Steaming Cup starting at 7pm. What better way to finish up Valentine’s Week than to take your special someone to The Steaming Cup for some “Espresso Love Cake”! We would LOVE to see you all there!

January also saw us back in the studio working on our forth coming album. We got together at Rainbird Studios in Big Bend Wisconsin and recorded “Little Bird”. It was a special session because we were filming it in order to put together a little video to share with everyone. “Little Bird” has been in Francesca’s repertoire for many years and is a crowd favorite. We are very excited to have it on this album. There is still some footage of the primary mixing of the song to be done and as soon as that footage is edited we will post it here for you all to enjoy.
