Veelah Balkan Band, Boulder Colorado One of my all time favorite bands in terms of hotness and ability to be really really tight.   We played Swallow Hill, Taste of Colorado, Colorado University, BIFD events, and many other venues.  I was eight months pregnant when we recorded our Village Squared CD.  Sadly, our original tuba player, Jon Erikson, died of cancer suddenly.   This picture has our second tubist, beloved Brian Mullins.  Dexter Payne is on Baritone Saxophone, Jesse Manno percussion, and Dave Willey on accordion.   Dave hates this picture of himself. Clarinoodle Productions paid all musicians every gig and also paid for the recording and mastering of the album.  We were slated for a US tour after our Velah Village Squared album release: Traditional Crossroads label sponsorship, but I had complications with my second kid's birth.   Next lifetime!
