Hey there all you beautiful people. I hope all is well in your lives. Glad
to see you’re tuning in. I know it’s been awhile since my last blog and I’ve
been meaning to do one every week. However I’ve had a lot going on in the last
couple of weeks not just with the music but with life in general. I’m sure you
all know all about that lol Ok so in this blog I’d like to give you guys some
updates on what’s been going on.
Recording
Those of you who are a part of my newsletter may already know this but for
those of you who don’t I will fill you in on it. I recently was in the studio
recording some new music for you to enjoy. I recorded 2 new songs,
DANGER and
TO LOVE AGAIN. These new songs are more pop based but still keeping
the rock and roll soul at heart. I tried to draw away from the southern rock
sound but you can still hear some influence. I feel it’s some of my best work
yet so keep your eyes and ears open for the new release.
NEW EP coming soon?
It’s been 2 years since the release of my latest record
RIGHT HERE RIGHT
NOW and it’s about time I release a new one. Unfortunately finding the
funds to do so right now seems to be nearly impossible. Luckily Thanks to the
internet I’ve discovered an awesome new tool I could use to raise money with a little
help from my friends. Friends meaning YOU!! Yes I need your help but I’m not
asking for much. See I came across a site called
www.kickstarter.com . I’ll explain it to
you here but don’t be afraid to go to the site and check it out yourself. Ok so
how it works is I set up my campaign. I set a goal amount of money I need
funded. Then I set pledges that you can pledge according to what you want to
spend. You choose what you want to buy, pay in advance and once the project is
done you receive your package. You can donate from $1 up to $1000. $1 dollar
would get you a thank you and a free mp3,$10 gets you the digital EP,$20
digital CD plus poster,$500 get you everything the others offer plus a free
live performance for your next party and esc! Very cool system. I get to fund
my next CD and you get to own it and whatever other gift I have to offer as
soon as it comes out. Right now I’m in the process of filming the promo video.
Once it’s done I plan on starting the campaign and I will inform you all on how
to get started.
