RFB is out and selling!!
The new Cd "RFB3" has been out for 3 months and it has reached new milestones for the band. The CD has sold
out in less than a week from CDbaby.com. More impressive is where it has reached. The band has sold copies in Poland and Russia.
When Rich and the guys learned of the news the reaction was one of amazement. "To think that our music reaches people that
far away is just mind blowing."
