Recording with the Candy Band

I am looking forward to contributing a few cello tracks on the Candy Band's new CD, due out this year. The Candy Band is four Detroit moms who live in my neighborhood. Back in 2003, they were "sick to death of wimpy music for children" so they formed their own band and they play music that really rocks--punk versions of kid's nursery rhymes, movie themes and other fun songs. They have appeared on the NBC Today Show, and even got a spread in People Magazine...and here they are right in my zip code! Lucky for me, they managed to fit a cello into the mix for a few of these songs--including a rockin' version of "Ode to Joy"--with a string section--that's where I come in...
