The time has come and our newest album "Looking back" is finally ready! Check out a sneak peak before the big debut! We will release it in honor of our beloved guitarist, Mark Bowman on Saturday, Feb 21st at Timothy's nightclub in Danvers, Ma. This is a tribute album for him containing the first 5 tracks with Mark on guitar. The rest of the album was finished with the help of Andrew Harney on guitar, Steve Burke on bass and Cliff Goodman on drums. There is also a special track written by my big brother and talented musician Joe Carlino. This was a very emotional album to make after my husband Mark's sudden death on September 27, 2013 at the young age of 49. It has been tough! I know he would want me to continue my music journey. I know you will enjoy this album because of the message inside the emotion! The lyrics are very powerful. They are happy at the beginning, sad in the middle and happy in the end. Thanks for listening! Hope to see you at the cd release for great music by the band, dj, free dinner buffet and no cover charge. Doors open at 6:30pm.

Since the loss of my beloved husband Mark Bowman, guitarist of our band, it was hard to imagine playing again. I know he would want us to continue so that is what I'm doing! I'm finishing our half done album "3rd generation" with the help of the infamous Andrew "Hacksaw" Harney of Beverly, Ma. He certainly has the chops big enough to fill Mark's shoes to finish this album. The two of us along with a couple new additions on bass and drums will complete this band so we can still call ourselves "Sweet Escape". Please join us at the festival if you're local and if not please continue to check out our upcoming tracks! Thanks for listening and for being supportive!
