As some of you may already know, we pushed Our Long Road Home back to September 16 to give us a little extra time to perfect the set-up of the record. Being our first independent release, and given our strong belief and confidence in this album, we want to make sure everything is just right. Thank you as always for your continued patience, understanding, and loyalty. ¡Viva la Independencia!

Help promote our upcoming shows in Toledo, Battlecreek, and Flint, and you could win an opportunity to film our performance and a short interview from backstage at the shows. Here's what to do...
1. Send an email to taproot@velvethammer.net with the name of the appropriate city in the subject line (for example: subject="TOLEDO").
2. 5 people will be chosen for each of the three cities to receive a flyer promoting the shows. The 15 chosen people will print out the flyers and promote in and around that city. You will need to submit pictures showing your efforts in distributing the flyers around town.
3. The person from each city (3 people total) who submits the most and best pictures demonstrating their promotional efforts will win free admission to the show in their town, backstage passes, and an opportunity to use our camera to film the performance and a short
interview. Your footage will appear on our YouTube channel, our Myspace page, and our official blog!
Good luck!

Album Release Date
As you well know by now, we finally have a release date for Our Long Road Home : Aug. 5th, 2008. We know many of you were hoping it would be sooner, but we need time to properly set the album up so it can receive the exposure it deserves. Equally, we had a couple more songs we wanted to record and add to the record, which we're doing now.
We often receive comments from you guys, curious about our label situation; after weighing our options, we felt that it was best for us as a band to forgo the major labels and release the album on our own. After doing our diligence, we found a fantastic company in RED to distribute our record through our management's record label, Velvet Hammer Music. Both companies share the same vision as we do and we really feel like this situation is a great fit for us. Thank you as always for your continued support and we hope to see all of you very soon! -Taproot

Taproot LIVE!
Taproot is getting back in gear and playing some live shows. Phil flew back to MI last week and the band has started rehearsing for their upcoming shows. The first show we can announce is May 24th we'll be at one of our favorite places to play, The Machine Shop in Flint, MI which has become our adopted home town.
To purchase advance tickets for concerts at THE MACHINE SHOP you can go to the club itself, Paradise Express on Dort Hwy. Flint, Busted Knuckle Underground Clothing, 5880 State St., Saginaw or just simply go to www.etix.com and you can print tickets on your printer. It is very simple and is less costly than other ticket sales companies.
We have a couple more shows we'll be announcing in the next few days, so stay tuned! We can't wait to get back out and play in front of our fans!
