Emerald Rose Chosen for National Ad Campaign

 Celtic Folk Rockers (and TORn Friends) Emerald Rose received good news this week from producers at the American Movie Classics television channel. Their original instrumental 'Unfinished Business' has been chosen for a national commercial for a show called DVD_TV: The Graduate. The 30 second commercial begins airing on AMC this week on March 9 during the broadcast of DVD_TV: Forrest Gump and will air for the next four weeks. The commercial will be broadcast on satellite and cable channels across the US and marks a new level of success for the band. (If anyone can TiVO it, and upload to YouTube, we'd love to likn to it!)
The band is busy as ever, gearing up for St. Patrick's Day area events starting with this week's Dahlonega Celtic Music Festival, where they will share the billing with Irish supergroup Altan. Emerald Rose are featured performers in Atlanta's St. Pat's celebrations with shows at Underground Atlanta and several Irish pubs in the Atlanta area. For details and show times, check the group's website at www.emeraldrose.com. [AMC Listing]

Thanks for the heads up!!!
Now, if we could just get greendragon in there. She sang with them at DragonCon last year... so beautifully. My g'son fell in love with Emerald Rose music and a certain Elven Lady :)
 
Trust him... The Hobbit is coming!

i truly missed when i went to DragonCon last summer. It was that i did not get the hear the beautiful sweet voice of our greendragon. She does look so lovely and Galadriel-like there on stage:).
"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."

May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!
In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo

As Logan told me, they don't often let other people in on their set! Anyhoo it's fab for them that they have this commercial - hurrah!
Maybe I'll be able to go solo at DCon this year? I'm working on accompanying myself on the harp for 'May it Be' and 'Into the West'...

Thanks for the kind words! Most undeserved but most appreciated! 
If we manage to have a New England gathering sometime in May I'll sing for you there!
