In 2010 We are all Gonna Win


Wow. 2010...that sounds so sci-fi. In about 36 hours we will be done with that difficult challenging decade we all just endured. I, for one, am ready for a new, better, greener, funner, and sweeter decade--that last one was a doozy, wasn't it?. Let's go!

So I know the question uppermost in your brains is: what's coming up for your favorite San Francisco-based, sweet & surreal piano-pop trio (yeah-that's us, True Margrit). Well, most significantly, in a mere three weeks it will be the Official Street Date for our REALLY RAD new release THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS (get it on AMAZON)

We will be performing on the west coast in January & Februray to kick off a whole progress of a JUGGLER's PROGRESS year!

First we will be in San Francisco on FRIDAY, January 29th at EL RIO!!! we will be appearing with the incendiary BLAIR HANSEN and Southern Cal's STEELWELLS!

Then ( among many other dates) Washingtonians can enjoy us in Seattle on February 6th at The MIX with the truly amazing PRESS ON RANDY.

In Oregon will be in Portland on Friday, February 12th at Mississippi Pizza Pub appearing with the uber-hip, JENNY HOYSTON

PLus.. more dates TBA in Eugene, Olympia, Tacoma, etc etc etc.

We will get to see y'all--so we win! And if you so choose, you get to hear us! Hence, we are all winners, we twenty-tenners.

The Blur at the End of the Year


I always picture the last few weeks of the year like a stream of water speeding up as the last bit goes down the drain--time seems to zoom by at the end of the year, doesn't it? It's almost a blur.

Anyhoo. Many many many thank yous are in order to SO many people for making 2009 a fab & fun & fancy year for True Margrit. Here are two important categories (some of you are in both category 1& 2! You rock)

1) Thank you SO MUCH to everybody who downloaded "Syllable" for the
Playlist 7 Contest!!!. Thanks to YOU we were featured on a few sites including This one ( and other links & massive email blasts) & we thus got exposed to all kinds of new fans & even made some $$$ AWESOME! We do fervently thank YOU!!!

2) A big thank you goes out to all you heroes & heroines who came to the shows on the tour --with a particular hometown tip of the gratitude hat to you rocking throngs at Bottom of the Hill Album Launch!! Virtual hugs go embracingly out to you music-supporting-sweeties.

In other news:

We are doing both a press campaign & a college radio campaign & they are both going REALLY well--THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS has been added to over 80 new radio station libraries and it's in regular rotation on 40 of those 80! More on that coming up in 2010. We will post the reviews of THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS as they come in...!

We will be back out on the road in late January/ early February corresponding to the OFFICIAL STREET DATE release for THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS Our San Francisco show to mark that occasion will be on Friday, January 29th at El Rio with Blair Hansen & The Steelwells from Southern Cal!!!

All the tour dates are not nailed down for sure yet--as it it being booked as we speak--but it looks like we'll be in Seattle on February 6th, Portland on February 12th + dates in Eugene, and Tacoma, etc. are forthcoming. More on that as it gets sorted...
