After winning Guitar Center's "Your Next Record with Travis Barker" competition, Twin Berlin are gearing up for the much-anticipated release of There Goes My Virtue, the new EP produced by Travis Barker. The three-song EP recorded at Red Bull Studio Los Angeles features the single "Can't Take, Take, Take", the song hand-picked by Barker as the winner of Guitar Center's "Your Next Record" competition.

The recording will be accompanied by artwork created exclusively for Twin Berlin by the late Mikey Welsh. There Goes My Virtue will be released digitally at TwinBerlin.net, as well as all major digital outlets including iTunes and AmazonMP3 on Wednesday, February 1, 2012, followed by a CD release on Thursday, March 1, 2012.

I am pleased as punch to invite you to my CD Release party at Club Passim. This will be my first CD since 2003. It's been a long, slow, creative burn, and I am looking forward to sharing the results with everyone on the guest list. The lovely Ms. Halstead is a crackerjack writer with a voice like distilled water. I'm honored by her enthusiasm in joining the evening's festivities. Joining me on stage will be Fiske and Herrera, (producers of my new CD,"Gilding the Lilies,") as well as my Bigfoot Research Organization buddies, Rob Laurens and Lloyd Thayer. Tickets are $12 for non-members, $10 for members. We hope to see you... --Jenee and Dave "Dave Dersham is a storyteller who makes the dark and troubling underbelly of the world and its messes sound nearly lighthearted. A deft twist of phrase reveals as much to the listeners about themselves as about the writer and his subject, and plenty about our current state of affairs." --Brian QTN. 3-time New Folk Finalist. (Kerrville Folk Festival) Jenee Halstead: "Warm and personal, her Emmylou Harris-like voice beckons the listener into the country folk songs with an invitingly crooked finger." --Andy Fife.
