The Nadas have been putting out classic American traditional pop-rock since the late 1990s. With over ten years of recording and touring under their belt this Des Moines, IA five piece will be hitting the road once again promoting their seventh album "Almanac." SXSW is a major stop on this tour with four scheduled shows.

For "Almanac" the band decided it would write, record, and release one song a month for an entire year starting in January 2009. The entire process was streamed live on the band's website. This allowed their hardcore fan base to become an integral part of this album and to really connect with band.

"Welcome to Almanac, a yearlong recording project by us, The Nadas. Our intention with this project is to capture the year of 2009, one month at a time in album form. By writing, recording, and releasing a new song each month, every month, for the next year, we hope to end up with a really cool snapshot of said year. We don’t intend to become ambulance chasers, or be glued to CNN for song inspiration, but there’s no denying that we’re constantly influenced by what is happening around us. We believe these influences will come out in song in subtle ways and be a “record” of the year. A different way of looking back at what we experienced and maybe, hopefully, providing a soundtrack for 2009.

In the past, writing, recording and releasing a record took months, even years. Thanks to modern technology, we not only have the ability to share our music with our listeners (and the rest of the world) instantly, but we can also allow you, our listeners, to be a part of the entire process. Whether you’re interested in witnessing the songwriting process, or a behind–the–scenes look as the magic happens in the studio, we will be journaling the entire process on a special blog through written posts, photographs and video, as well as live streaming on the world wide giga web. So, for those of you with attention spans and interest levels high enough to still be reading, we bring you the: Almanac Project." -The Nadas

Listening to "Almanc" brings up thoughts of sitting on a porch, with blue skies, sunshine, friends and family by your side, and a cocktail to sip on. Or cruising down a two lane mountainside road with the sun setting and a cool breeze blowing through the windows. Its gentle intoxicating grooves and the stories that unfold are actually perfect for anytime of the day. Sit back, relax, or get up and boogie, but either way you will thoroughly enjoy the music The Nadas have created!
