Kring of the day

Somebody came up with the idea to crown one PU-person king or queen of the day. That person gets to wear a paper crown on the head while we are on the tour bus. The king of yesterday was out fantastic bus driver and tenor Thomas. He looked really good in the crown. The king of today was Jacob, our short tenor. There was more drama around his nomination, but he definitely earned the crown. We already have a few people nominated for tomorrow, but there is no obvious winner.

Angels we have heard on high

We ended the concert today together with some great choirs from this area, Open Arms, Get up and Soul Teens. For me and my Praise Unit friends the whole evening was wonderful, but it was something extra when all choirs came together to sing. Now it's time for me to sleep, but I have to stop singing  before I can sleep.

Snow storm

We tried speaking danish last night as we met some new friends north of Copenhagen. Nobody in our tour bus had internet access since the concert, and could write about the concert because we went to sleep very late last night and today we were driving for twelve hours through the snow storm of northern Germany. But being on the road for so long was not a problem for us, because were still happy from the atmosphere in the concert hall in Hillerod last night, and we were also excited about coming back to Niedervellmar, near Kassel, where we know we have good friends and we know we will hear good music!

Late night at the hotel

Hey,
just got to our nice hotel in right outside Vellmar. Vellmar...what a nice place! Thank you so much for having us again and for making this time around just as good as the last one!

Now I look forward to some sleep. We've slept maximum 4 or 5 hours the last couple of nights due to early starts in the morning, so we're all a bit tired. I share rooms with Josefine and it's brilliant! It's so nice to have some girl talk right before you go to bed and laugh at all the funny things that has happened during the day. Cause believe me, when you're on tour with Praise Unit you're having a blast!

Sleep tight and God bless,
Felicia

Tour!

We are on our way! Cruising down to Hillerod, Denmark, we are really excited that it all is finally here. All the practicing and arranging, the e-mails and the phone calls have lead to this moment; our Christmas Tour 2012. But it all actually started yesterday when we gave a concert at home in Stockholm and the jazz club Fasching. We had a great time and we are thankful for our friends, family and all the other people that decided to come and see us. It was a really nice feeling to play in Stockholm because most of us live there now and knowing that it was the start of a whole week together didn't make it worse :)

We will try to keep you updated on what's going on on our tour. And make sure you follow us on both Facebook, Instagram and now also, here.

See you soon!

Christmas 2012

Hello again! A year has passed and we have not been using this blog to share what we are doing. But this December we are on tour together again and again we will be blogging.

Our Christmas CD which we announced to be released this year turns out to be an EP with four songs. Next year the full CD is available. Again it was circumstances with the record company that forced us to move slowly with the christmas recordings, but in one aspect we will have a three year long Praise Unit christmas, and we can't go wrong with that, right?

We started our tour yesterday at the legendary jazz club Fasching in Stockholm. It was the first time we performed our christmas repertoire and it felt great to premiere at Fasching with lots of friends and family in the audience. Now we are heading for Denmark. More about that later!

Praise Unit Christmas CD will be out for Christmas 2012

On Facebook and this blog you have been able to follow some of the recordings we are doing on a new Christmas CD. But we have not been promoting it or announcing the release date. The reason is that a lot of things were uncertain as far as the contract with the record company. What we know now is that the contract is signed, but we don't have enough time to release the CD this year. Instead the CD will be out for Christmas 2012.

Eight songs are recorded so far, and we are very proud of being able to give the Praise Unit sound to the Christmas classics. It is sad to have so many songs recorded, but still have to wait. But if it's good enough it's worth waiting for, like all good Christmas presents, right?
