            <title>OMG it's been a year!</title>
            <link>http://triciasebastian.com/news.html#32</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Well what can I say, it's been a crazy year! The CD sells are picking up and I'm starting to perform again for the summer. I had a big set back in my personal life! I'm starting to feel better now, but had to have a couple of surgeries for my little old brain, hence no journals or updating on my page. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me through these tough times! Just know that no matter what, my music lives on and I already have plans for CD # 3! Woo hoo.  Blessing to you all and Besitos too! With love, Tricia]]></description>

            <title>Summer Update</title>
            <link>http://triciasebastian.com/news.html#30</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone! I hope all is well and the warmer weather is blessing you with fun filled days outside with your family.  The new CD has received favorable reviews and Canta Conmigo is selling well after it's re- release. <br /><br />Thank you everyone for the support of you have shown by buying my CD's both in the stores and online!  I really appreciate it.  Many of us independent artist would never be able afford recording without your support. So, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.  MIL GRACIAS. <br /><br />I love making music for you and your children and I hope you know it spills out of my heart and I will do my best in the future to continue the path.  <br /><br />On a personal note, I have yet again been fighting my battles with health and underwent a pretty serious surgery in Feb 09 and now again in a couple of weeks will have another one.  I'm scared as most of us would be, but my two beautiful daughters keep me focused on a positive outcome. <br /><br /> I have had to cancel a couple of shows one at the Chicago's Folk and Roots Festival and the other at Evanston Arts Festival both in July.  Please be on the look out for me around Chicago for future gigs. As soon as I can I will be performing again. Count on that!  Enjoy your summer! <br /><br />Con Todo Mi Amor, <br /><br />Tricia]]></description>

            <link>http://triciasebastian.com/news.html#29</link>
            <description><![CDATA[My new CD CorazÃ³n Alegre &#8212; Happy Heart is here!  Can you believe it?  Some of you know that I have been talking and working on this project for a long time.  I released my first family CD Canta Conmigo back in 2000 and since then I have been very busy with teaching, recording, gigging, and living life. Eight years have come and gone and I now have a family and many more responsibilities.  I have continued my work with kids and will strive to always move forward and continue making music.  The songs on my new CD are all connected to me in some special way.  Many I wrote for my students and some I have sang since I was a very young girl.  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do. <br /><br />I&#8217;d like to give a special thank you to all incredible musicians who recorded with me.   Most of all I&#8217;d like to acknowledge Steve Rashid of Woodside Avenue Music Production in Evanston.  He was the task master and without his skills and friendship I would have never finished! Oh and he makes a great espresso too! <br /><br />Anyway, if you want to hear more, buy a CD!  It&#8217;s all there, my happy heart! Besos, Tricia]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Happy Easter!!!!  I hope you are all well and staying away from the flu.  It struck my family pretty hard.  My little one, because she was a preemie, especially had a hard time.  It took about two months of doctor, hospital, and ER trips to finally get her better.  It continues to be a fine balance to maintain my life as a mom and musician.  The mom part is increasingly challenging as my baby suffers from asthma and chronic ear and respiratory infections.  I do love my job and will do my best to keep moving forward, but my children of course come first.  My CD is moving along, Steve Rashid is mixing it now and I am going into the studio this coming week to have a listen and add some gritos.  Music as been many things for me in my life, but for now it is my outlet and I appreciate all the opportunities I have to do it.  In peace and love, Tricia]]></description>

            <title>Ravinia and Cd Progress</title>
            <link>http://triciasebastian.com/news.html#24</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I have been very busy the past three weeks.  My residency for Ravinia Festival has started at a new school called Erie Elementary Charter School located near Division and Western Ave.  in or right next to the Humbolt Park community.  My students are for the most part bilingual and I fit right in.  I love it.  However, it&#8217;s been lots of extra work, but I am also making progress on the CD.  I&#8217;ve been recording my final vocals and after next week will begin bringing in other vocalist for the background vocals.  Things are moving along and we are hoping to be done with the recording part of it by Valentines Day.  After that I need graphics and duplication.  So it is coming hopefully sooner than later.  I&#8217;ll update soon, for now take care of yourselves during this cold spell!! Love, Tricia]]></description>

            <link>http://triciasebastian.com/news.html#23</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone, Happy New Year! I've been making slow but steady progress on my upcoming CD.  I have about <br />90 % of the music recorded and I&#8217;m beginning to record my final vocal tracks.  Following that there are many more steps, but we are moving along.  My Ravinia residency begins again from now till May so I will be dividing my attention. But I will be working hard to finish this CD.  <br /><br />I&#8217;ve been having lots of fun recording with some outstanding musicians.  It&#8217;s been such an honor having them participate and play on my tracks.  I&#8217;ll list them another time when I can get links to some of their websites.  Anyway, your enthusiasm and encouragement for this project has been awesome.  I love hearing from y&#8217;all!  Thanks for the support!!!!! Happy New Year!  Tricia]]></description>
