Message from Jason

To wrap up a very productive year, we've just completed two live acoustic performances at The Tipper restaurant and Trees Organic Coffee House to promote our newest release, "Shine." Thank you's go to Gina Lily and John Pippus for hosting us!

It's been another great year for Locus - the band released two records in 2009, the first being our full-length album "Ambrosia." "Ambrosia" saw success with the first single "Wonderland" being chosen to feature in an upcoming compilation record produced by TEA South. "Shine" further showcased our growth and independence (with Kelvin executive-producing, we wrote, produced, and mastered the entire record on our own for the very first time).

On behalf of Locus, we'd like to thank all the venues for graciously hosting our performances, and all our fellow artists that have participated. Special thanks to all our friends who came out to see us! We appreciate your support very much!

We're looking forward to sharing more music with you in 2010! Thanks for a great year!

Locus supports United Way

Jason, on behalf of Locus, has donated 20% of CD sales proceeds of their recent release "Shine" to United Way of the Lower Mainland. All proceeds have come from CD sales at the HSBC annual Children's Christmas Party. Locus is proud to support United Way in its mission to provide better social services within the community, and would like to thank all the coordinators and volunteers at HSBC that have generously given their time to promote their newest record.
