Here and Now

Things have been very, very busy since our return to the States, and it seems- after having just arrived- that we are off again. We are going to visit some mates of ours in England, and in the process, record Vanessa's second album. We will return to Austin, where we have been living for the past several months until we head out next summer on our next tour (dates are forthcoming). We are also currently accepting jobs in web, graphics, audio and video. If you have a project that you would like to get a bid on, please feel free to drop us a line through the contact section of this website. To view our past work, have a look at the portfolio section of this website.

Music

The year 2007 has offered a good bit of luck when it comes to music. We arrived from playing a few shows in Ecuador (and recording an album) to successfully completing our first tour, and we are now playing at prestigious venues throughout Texas. It has been an incredible experience and we look forward to many exciting times ahead. As mentioned, after the release of Vanessa's next album sometime in the spring, we will be heading out on our next tour, hopefully covering the East and West Coasts. Many thanks are due to our incredible fiddler, Sick and talented drummer, Adam Freeborg... we look forward to more collaborations with them after England.

South America

Vanessa and Jason Lively are freelance professionals in various types of creative production. They recently returned from South America where they lived for nearly two years, developing a community-based graphic design company in the town of Salinas de Guaranda, Ecuador. The business is currently managed by members of the community.

Lively Creations

Before traveling to South America, Jason and Vanessa operated their own multimedia production company in San Antonio, Texas. Serving a wide range of clients, their business- Lively Creations- was offering graphics and web design, as well as video and audio production up until the time they left for South America.
