Here is Pete’s cartoon for the month of FEBRUARY from our B&A Low Budget Gift Calendar.  This one is in honor of our recent move to our new little cabin up in Rougemont, NC.

If you would like to order a calendar of your very own….please contact us at birdsandarrows@gmail.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Pete Connolly of BIRDS and ARROWS presents his 2112 (I mean 2012) LOW BUDGET GIFT CALENDAR!

Full of amazingly bad puns/jokes and cartoons.  If you know Pete, than you know….this is kind of his thing.

Puns are like breathing to him so he wanted to share that magic with the WORLD this year.

If you would like to purchase your very own gift calendar for $8.00 please contact us at birdsandarrows@gmail.com to order.

It really is the gift (to yourself or someone else) that keeps on giving all year long.

And those of you who sometimes like to geek out on Rush like we do or get a little excited by the fact that this year sounds a lot like 2112 and even more excited by the fact that our children may actually live to see 2112, then you need to have this calendar!

We will be sharing, each month, one of the many cartoons here on our blog.  ….ENJOY!

CONNOLLY TAROT DECK

THE FUNH SHUI TAROT DECK

We are very excited to announce our upcoming Holiday show on December 15th at The Casbah with Raleigh’s THE SMALL PONDS.

This will be a SEATED SHOW filled with holiday songs and decor. We will even take the stage all together to perform a few holiday favorites.

Our BIRDS and ARROWS set will feature a performance and the re-release of our 2009 original Christmas song “Our Christmas,” “a sweet song” and “real charmer” as described by Brian Tucker of Bootleg Magazine, adding that Andrea’s voice is “soulful and heavenly… the singing will entice you to find their other albums.” In addition to holiday favorites, we will also incorporate special winter songs from our past releases.

In the spirit of the holiday season, we will  also have a new limited edition Christmas ornament available for purchase exclusively at the show. The ornament is a hand-crafted creation by Pete and I with a limited quantity of 50 available. The ornament will include a download of BIRDS and ARROWS’ original Christmas song “Our Christmas” as well as a few Christmas classics performed by B&A cellist Josh Starmer.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at  http://casbahdurham.com/2011/11/thu-dec-15-holiday-show-wbirds-arrows-small-ponds/ or the day of the show at The Casbah.

Wanted to share a live video of our first time performing our new favorite cover San Jacinto.   As most of you know we are big Peter Gabriel geeks and were very excited when we figured out a way to pull this off.

This video was filmed by the beautiful Alexia Kelley.

Here’s a little video clip of Pete and I working on some new music on our Anniversary camping trip this past weekend in the mountains.

It was a beautiful spot (you can hear the river flowing in the back ground).  We had great weather, perfect for camping and a much needed break after an extremely busy summer.
