The North Texas band Fishing for Comets is made up of Camille Cortinas, Sam Romero, Aaron Thomas and Gary Rivers, as well as guest performers Joe Willix, Cas Haley and Megan Cortinas.

Camille Cortinas and Sam Romero have been writing together since 2002, but this latest incarnation of their work has added new life and textures to the pallet. At the 2005 Dallas Observer Music Awards, the band won the award for Best Folk Acoustic act and received a nomination for Best Female Vocalist (Camille Cortinas).

In 2006, the band released its first full length album, Scattered Among The Archipelago, and original music written for a documentary by Joe Willix and the Coppell House of Dance entitled 5, 6, 7, 8...A Year in the Life of the Coppell House of Dance.
