Canadian Bluegrass Band Needs Help from Someone In The US with DVR!

We received a request for help from Melissa Sherman who represents the Canadian Bluegrass Band  Hard Ryde.   Melissa wrote:

We had taped an NBC show here in Toronto called "Covert Affairs", we are playing an original song even, in a scene in this show, its a CSI type show. Would you be so kind as to announce that the US airing is coming up on Nov, 15th. They can't tell us when it will air in Canada and are hoping someone somewhere in the US could record it for us!

If you can help them out by recording the show for them, contact Melissa Sherman at:  melissa@hardryde.ca

The TV show was filmed  in Toronto but is a US show on NBC. We had gotten the call from LA studios and had been referred to them as the band to hire. Covert Affairs is a USA  Network cable television series starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham. 

Hard Rydes original tune  "If you Don't go, You won't know" written by Doug Deboer was chosen as the tune.  This tune was off the bands 3rd CD "Stages".
Melissa Sherman won Composer of the Year in 2009 at the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards and was nominated both 2010 and 2011. The Canadian Bluegrass Awards will be held in 2 weeks!
