My CD and Tour Update

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would give you all a little update on the progress of the album and the upcoming tour plans.
My CD is being sent to be mastered at the end of this week, and once that is done it will be time to make the hard copy, real deal album!!!! Yay!
This is really exciting as the CD took three years to complete. I had a friend once tell me during this process that you can't rush raising a song. It takes as long as it takes, and I have found that to be very true and a comforting thought throughout this journey. These songs have gone to places I never imagined, and I am thrilled with that.
So as it stands we are looking at an April release date for the Album and CD Release party. I will keep you all posted as things develop further

The UK Tour!!!
I am excited to announce that I will be taking this CD on a tour to the United Kingdom this August and September 2012. I will be touring with my good friend, and producer of the album Jesse Waldman. He was a huge part of this CD and plays more instruments on it than I can count- well slight exaggeration, but you get the idea. He is a brilliant, innovative, thoughtful guitar player and a great song writer. So we will be heading over to the UK where he will perform with me on my songs and also do his own material. His music tends to have strong roots in the blues genre. We plan to perform in folk clubs, house concerts, and some pubs throughout the UK on our adventurous tour.

Thank you for all your support along this journey, and to everyone that pre-ordered my CD... its coming!!!

Hi everyone,

I have just posted a music player on my site and so now you can hear a couple of my songs that are on the new album. I am going to post a song each week. If you are interested in pre-ordering a CD that would be great and help with the finishing touches. I want to thank my Mum for helping me with the set up of the fundraising page. Pam Carr of RPW Records is a great resource and support when it comes to the music business.
Feel free to share this music with your friends and keep checking in for new songs.
