We cant wait to share it with you all. Ortolan also has many shows coming up this new year as well. We will also be having our Cd release party and hope you all can come! (TBA)

    We recently got to work with Marc Brodzik from 'Scrapple TV' / 'Woodshop Films'. We had a great time with Marc and Nick while playing in our tight little practice spot and making cookies in the kitchen. We hope to have the video up soon for you all to watch it. But here is a little clip for you to watch while you wait (and a little belated Christmas gift from us all)
