An Update!

 Hey everyone! It's been a while since anyone posted on the blog. The four (or sometimes 3 & 1/2) individuals that make up No More Cries are all busy people. But have no fear: we've been keeping up with our playing. So here are some updates on what's going on.

Since the spring we've been streaming live on FaceBook (and more recently YouTube and Twitch), playing three songs each week from our Friday Night Jams. The relevant links:

No More Cries on FaceBook

No More Cries on YouTube 

Our latest live stream:

The footage we shot last fall for the Penny video has been returned to us by the videographer, who has had to bow out of the project. Thankfully, we're not strangers to video editing ourselves, so when time allows we'll be putting it together. One thing we can say is the raw footage looks *amazing*, and we can't wait to share it with you all.

Work continues on more new music from No More Cries. In the meantime, we hope you'll tune in for our live sessions. Keep on rockin'!

Happy New Year 2018 Jan Open Mic live at The Occidental on Sat night.Thanks so much for everyone support through 2017 NO MORE CRIES has many people, family, friends to thank for continuing to believe in us and coming to the shows and jam night at the Wild Bills Studio home of the band.2017 offered some challenges to us but as most committed bands do they continue to push forward like we have.2017 granted the band some very positive additions including Joshua Blanc taking the role of keyboard and synth player adding a tremendous positive groove to our music.Joshua Blanc is also a amazing human being in so many ways and the band is thankful for his participation.2017 also challenged the band to recruit a drummer and the band is super happy with the full time addition as drummer Chad Stump who is a all round amazing guy with his great personality and stellar musical skills and experience NO MORE CRIES is lucky to have both of these guys in our family.Eric's Custom Guitars and Gary Hartley the 2 founding members of NO MORE CRIES continue to work hard with the help of Chad Stump and Joshua Blanc moving forward to full fill the dreams we all share and that is to continue writing and playing and performing original songs.2018 is already starting with a great opportunity for the band with over 25 all orig songs that we will be taking to Wild Bills Studio in early Feb to complete a NO MORE CRIES DOUBLE ALBUM!!!
