Ruckus in the Rain - September, 2009
The Ruckus Crew played the Methodist church in Vancouver, WA on October 18th. We introduced the newest member of the performance squad, 4 year old Emilia. You'd have to see it to believe it, but it was a cross between a wrestling match and a Taylor Swift performance. Nice job Emilia.
The Ruckus and Big Sunday - 2009
At Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in sunny Tempe we're starting a movement. Yep. The dads are taking over the kids liturgy during Sunday mass! We figure we've been sitting in church for a century... we might as well jump in and get involved! The new project is called BIG SUNDAY!
What next for the Ruckus? - 2008
We're gearing up for a great Thanksgiving and then... BAM! It'll be Christmas. Then the Rose Bowl. Then it'll be 2009. We hope that the new year brings new opportunities to make 'em jump all over the country. Maybe even a new CD!
Three shows in two days - 2008
Recently, the Ruckus made it to St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Spokane for a Saturday show. We then joined Lakeside Community Church in Idaho for two shows on Sunday morning. We sold 22 CDs, the kids signed a few autographs, and we taught 'em how to Jump! Jump! Jump!

Ruckus on the Road! - 2008

Ruckus on iTunes! - 2008

Still jumping in Washington - 2008
The kids from Sunday School jumped and shouted through another end of year show after church today. The leaders announced that the CD - Graceful Ruckus was on the way, AND BY THE WAY, Mr. Meyer will be live with all the kids on May 23rd at Christ the King. Word on the street has people already camping out for tickets!

Ready for Wall Street - 2008
If this were a stock the bulls would be running! Sales of Graceful Ruckus are very strong in the first couple weeks! Why? Because kids and their parents love it! The Google cart is working well and buyers have come from as far as Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, and Michigan!
Big Stop on a Little Tour - 2007
The Ruckus Express stopped in Colfax, Washington (pop. 2000) for a live show at the Colfax United Methodist Church. There were 65 hearty souls in attendance, including the ladies quilty club. We jumped, sang, and stomped. Maybe somebody's working on a Ruckus quilt as we speak!
How Much Ruckus Does it Take to Go Number 1? - 2007
Yes, its was a seismic event for goodness as Graceful Ruckus went number 1 this week on Catholic Music Network. For the moment operators are standing by for calls from American Top 40, Billboard, and the President. Great news for the Goods News!
Does the Pope jump, jump, jump? - 2007

It's a Media Circus! - 2007
The Ruckus just scored its first media coverage. Mr. Meyer's alma mater, the University of Dayton, covered the story for the alumni quarterly. Its a first step... next we'll be debating O'Reilly on the merits of Mice and Manners.
Reaching the World - 2007
The CD is out! This week the crew submitted the CD for distribution to a number of web retailers. We'll make an announcement of all the great places you can find Graceful Ruckus as soon as we hear the good news.
Gig of the Century - 2007
Last night Mr. Meyer played the Graceful Ruckus set with 50 of the best singers in the land. The Christ the King School Kindergarten. It was billed as the OFFICIAL launch of the CD. The kids were loud, the adults were singing along, and it was the perfect start for this musical endeavor.
Radio Ready - 2007
The preliminary feedback is in. After non-scientific double-blind analysis it appears that the kids love the Elephant while the parents like Mooberry Moo and St. Peter. Join the email list and cast your vote!
