Corporate Retreat on Hiatus!

After a whirlwind eighteen month run of live shows, Corporate Retreat will be going on permanent hiatus. Andrew is stepping away from the stage to spend more time with family, to devote more time to his day job that not only pays the bills but has become a dream job, and very importantly to his 501(c)(3) charity Dense Analysis, which he has not had nearly enough time for.

The music is far from over! Coming up this year are the following important events.

  1. Gunkus will present "The Dune-ical" in August!
  2. More Gunkus shows TBA later this year!
  3. A 15 track Leonardo Lemuel studio album will be released this year!

Thanks to Cathal Dowd, FUBAR, Jo Capaldi, Joey Dawson, The Trapdoor Spiders, and especially Cats on the Moon for all the love and support during the 18 month run of live Corporate Retreat, Gunkus, and Leonardo Lemuel performances. Special thanks to Jenny Brock for the album art and posters. And of course thanks to the Corporate Retreat band members for 3+ years of developing Andrew into being a much better musician and pushing him to learn how to put on great live performances.

Where am I?
