I’ve hung my ugly Christmas sweater back in the closet where it belongs, and am pumped about 2012! If you were following the band last year, you know we are working towards recording a new album. We didn’t reach our fundraising goal of $8,000 but we’re going to press on and make the best album we can with what we have, and what we continue to raise.

As promised, Bert and Austin have shaved their beards as a result of our funds not being raised. There have even been reports of Bert wearing a scarf since then…say it isn’t so!

Our 2012 resolution is to continue making great music for YOU so we’re thankful, as always, for your support and encouragement, and we look forward to more shows in more cities, with brand new songs and a brand new album!

If you’d like Ashley Gatta & The Free People to come play a show in your city or at your church, please send an email  to me with a request! We’d love to make it happen.
