**Winter News**

A new year, a new album, a new sound. The Michael Korb Band enters it's second great year, and to up the ante, I've switched from acoustic guitar to electric. Bassist Joseph Patti and I have been assembling a collection of effect pedals to give our power trio all the dynamic sound of a larger band. Drummer Chris Spikoski seems to have really found his niche in Two of Me, interpreting the drums in a way that's new and refreshing and surprising for me, yet they stay true to the feeling of each song.

We're off to a great start this year, with a nice big cd release, as well as graduating to the main stage of the Patchogue Theatre, where in the lobby we had played to release Sleepwalker.
