But fall has arrived, and the Sq2’s are, well, getting their nuts in a row.

Back in May, Peter injured a finger while loading a truck, which put the brakes on playing while convalescing. He was able to work on tour with Barbara Streisand the next month, which did provide some relaxation. Now healed, he is back tuning the harps for Loreena McKennitt, having traversed Canada and currently in the central and eastern U.S. Come November the plan is to come to Wilmington and begin rehearsing for an as yet unscheduled reunion show in the fall. Our collective head has deemed this a preview, a warm-up to something more expanded.

We are delighted to announce the addition of Jay Manley to the re-group. He will pick up the guitar where Paul Daniels left off. Jay was elemental to the creative music scene in downtown Wilmington. Founder of the mid-eighties Interpreters, his musical DNA later mingled with post-Squirrels band Magically Delicious. Consequently he formed Velvet with wife Jane Francis, re-located to the Triangle, cut actual records (one Mitch Easter recorded!), and took up teaching guitar and studying Hindustani music. The Sq’s are ecstatic over the creative partnership.

We’re not hibernatin’!
