It’s now official, SSO is going global.. and by that we mean our album will be available online at most major online retailers.

This project also includes hiring Richey, Pete, and Joel to perform and work on production for the film score.

Along with his passion for music, SSO founder Joel Edinberg is now writing restaurant reviews in a he said/she said format for the new website www.2dineforboston.com.
