We are officially switching up cello players from good old Ira Oaks, a fine musician and friend who really helped get the ensemble version of Wooden Rings off the ground, to the virtuous Portland(er), Marrissa Deitz. We are very excited to hear how the change will affect our sound and will be diligently practicing and working towards a recording for all to enjoy. We have enough saved up for a recording, so we are going to be performing toward the goal of mixing and mastering. Also, we are working with photographer and graphic artist, Ben Rodig, on our album art and band portraits. That’s all for now, RJ of WR
