I haven't seen anyone mention this and I thought it was worth bringing up for anyone not on the announcement list.

Lots of juicy tidbits in this month's 77's newsletter. There's a
special treat if you read all the way to the end. :-)
77's Still Standing With Matt Nightingale
Mike, Mark & Bruce recently teamed with new Fools Of The World artist
MATT NIGHTINGALE to help create a deeply personal and delightful
debut album. Hailing from Redwood City, California, Nightingale
delivers Still Standing, an album of remarkable passion and candid
personal confession with a hefty dose of pure pop confection thrown
in for good measure.
With Mike Roe once again at the helm as producer and guitarist, the
unbeatable rhythm section of Mark Harmon and Bruce Spencer commands a
colorful new landscape of pop and R&B foundations for Matt's soulful
voice, memorable melodies and healing, heartfelt lyrics. If you enjoy
artists like Seal or Third Day, a wonderful and worshipful pop
experience awaits you here - one that no true 77's fan should be
without. Now available from http://www.77s.com/
77's Back In Studio
In an historic and unprecedented move, The 77s re-entered the fabled
EXIT STUDIO in February to lay down tracks for the debut album of new
Fools Of The World artist JASON HERRING. Hailing from Rock Hill,
South Carolina, Jason and his catchy 'alt-country' lyrics and
melodies were a sure-fire match to Mark and Bruce's creative
rock-solid rhythms and Doc Love's trademark strum and twang.
With Herring's time in California limited to one week, production
schedules were tight, with fate dealing Exit Studio as the only
facility available for basic tracks. Waves of nostalgia overcame Mike
and Bruce as they spotted familiar studio artifacts from Exit's
bonanza days dating back to the early 1980's when the boys were
cutting as many teeth as they were albums.
Co-mingling with the ghosts of Charlie Peacock, Steven Soles, Nigel
Gray, Randy Jackson and so many other talents that graced Exit's
hallowed halls all those years ago must have lent a helping hand to
the 77s mojo -- they managed to cut nine basic tracks in barely 8
hours - "just like the old days!" Mike cackled.

Upcoming Projects
Mike is currently mid-production on Johnny Reliable's new one "Out
There Tonight", their first for Fools Of The World, which will
feature the good doctor on guitars and production, along with Bruce
on drums. Expect a late fall release. If the name Johnny Reliable
sounds familiar then it's because Mike was involved with their "Going
Hollywood" album five years ago, but he says that this one is a major
improvement in every way.
And could it be?? A new 77's album?!? A little birdie told me that
the guys are discussing plans for one and are currently writing songs
for it. This has got to be the best news I've heard all year!!!
Until next time...
