NEWS:

A message to all members of Roman Candle

As some of you may or may not know, the company who had been generously sponsoring our website (ECHO in Nashville) went out of business in June. Although this was a great bummer, we have since gone about building a new site to take the place of this one, and which will hopefully offer you all more of a chance to interact with us and each other more than our current one.

We will be launching our new website tonight and if you'd like to sign up for it, there are 2 free mp3's available for members under the "downloads" tab" You can do it one of two ways:

1 - go to http://www.romancandlemusic.com

Then either

click the "join now red button, enter your email etc.

or

click our "Connect with Facebook" blue button, which validates your site registration through your facebook account. It will not "do anything" to your account or send out obnoxious messages to your friends etc. It just allows you to be a member of our site, simply by having a facebook page.

Thanks very much, and we look forward to seeing you all out on the road etc.

with great affection -
the band.

The band is lining up a new round of shows for the late summer/fall. More dates are getting confirmed each week, so check back to see if they will be heading to your neck of the woods.
