We are really excited to announce the release of Braddigan: Live At The Belly Up starting today on Third Surfer Music. Recorded live in June at the infamous venue near the San Diego beaches, the 12 tracks feature the full band (including drummer Paul Stivitts), a new song called Power of a Name, an 8 minute version of Ileana complete with the backstory, an epic drum jam at the end of Fallin', and an impromptu word from Braddigan that we're titling "where is poverty?"... So the music and the message are both pumping in this live recording, we hope you'll enjoy it!

The packaging is 100% recycled cardstock and features original artwork from our good friend Patrick Maxcy. We start shipping on December 14. Pre-order the CD now!

Love Light & Melody has finished editing its debut documentary film, Day of Light. Entering what appears to be a war-zone, La Chureca, is actually a trash dump in Nicaragua home to over 1,500 people. Walk alongside musician Braddigan from sunrise to sunset as he is joined by hundreds of students, artists, athletes, and musicians as they break down emotional, physical, and cultural barriers, while reawakening the dreams, imagination, and hope of the people who live there.

Featuring music from Moby and Sufjan Stevens and a live mural by Kelli Murray, Austin Blasingame, and Patrick Maxcy, the film is set to come out Spring 2009. In the meantime, check out the trailer, photography, and updates.

At the end of October we had to cancel the Braddigan fall tour due to scarring found on his vocal cords. We have received news that his surgery was very successful and he is recovering well. Thanks for standing with us and keep checking this site for details. And as a special treat, our good friend and filmmaker Matt Katsolis has just released a highlight video from the annual Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic, where Braddigan stopped in to play behind our friend Josh Garrels. Keep playing it LOUD!

To our Braddigan Family:

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the rest of Braddigan's fall tour (all shows between 10/29-11/15) due to some minor scarring found on his vocal cords. We anticipate that Braddigan will fully recover his voice resting up over the next few months and we will certainly make every effort to reschedule all tour dates for the spring. As always thanks so much for standing with us, and please now more than ever keep playing it LOUD! Stay tuned to Braddigan.com for updates.

One of our photographer friends, Eric Kelley, just launched a cool new project called Wall Blank. The site features new limited edition art everyday that will be available for one week or until it sells out. And on Fridays, the site will feature a no-profit print where 100% of the proceeds will go to the nonprofit of the artist's choice.

Fresh Perspective is the first no-profit print, with all proceeds going to Love Light & Melody. It's available in a limited edition of 100 prints. If you buy one, Wall Blank will print two and send 'em your way. Or if you want, they'll send the second print as a gift from you to anyone in the USA for free! And 100% of your money will go to LL&M... pretty cool huh?

Buy a print today and show your support...
