Musical Lessons From The Dear Hunter

January 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Nick Crescenzo and Andy Wildrick (The Dear Hunter) are offering musical lessons on a few different instruments.

Hey all people,

Casey from The Dear Hunter here, pimpin’ out my sweet Dear Hunter cohorts.

At the moment we are working on our record, and loving every minute of it. As with every record so far, there is a lot of down time. To fill this downtime, a few members of the band are looking to give lessons on their instruments to whoever wants some sweet sonic knowledge.

SO- if you are looking for Drum or Bass lessons, and live in the New England area (providence specifically)- Please contact my brother Nick at n.crescenzo@gmail.com. He is an incredibly easy going dude and is a great teacher- in life, and percussion.

Also- if you are looking for guitar lessons (classical as well) please contact andywildrick@gmail.com – Thats right… Wild Rick. Great dude, great teacher, great name.

Seriously friends, we rarely have downtime and these guys have a lot to teach- so if you want to expand your brain, or just see Nick life a car with one arm, let us know ASAP!

Love and Thanks.

Straylight Run is currently giving away a free download of the song “Drain You” by Nirvana. Click here for the song and check out the message from the band below.

On our last couple of tours we performed a cover version of the Nirvana song “Drain You”. When we got home we said to ourselves “Hey, we really liked playing that song! Why don’t we record it for fun and give it to our fans for free?” So that’s exactly what we did. Just click on the link below and you’ll be on your way to getting your very own free mp3 of Straylight Run performing “Drain You”.
Booyah!
