“Live at the Lyric”: pre-order Collectors Packages; also download NOW on NoiseTrade!
19 Jan ’09 By 8 Comments
Hey Audiophiles! I’m thrilled to let you know that my 9th album is now available for pre-order on our new webstore. “Live at the Lyric,” recorded with guitar-virtuoso Paul Rohling, will be released February 10th, but we’re doing something new with this CD: We’re offering a number of special collectors packages! But these are being manufactured in small runs so supplies are limited. We’re selling them on a first-come, first-serve basis.
NoiseTrade: As a special feature, we are offering you the chance to download the entire album on NoiseTrade.com right now! That’s right! If you’re not famiiar with NoiseTrade, it’s a genius concept started by Derek Webb and his people which allows you to download the CD for FREE (in exchange for five email addresses of your friends), or by setting your own price from $.01 to $100+ (which goes directly to the artist). You’re not supporting some big record giant here…your are helping the artists directly. So check us out on NoiseTrade, and while you’re at it, listen to all the other amazing artists on there! I’m such a fan and honored to be a part of their online community.
YouTube Video Promo: You can also watch a our new crazy promo video here. Apart from our new music and special package offers, Paul and I discuss the CD’s release on NoiseTrade as well as why being bald has helped us and countless musicians like them to be better at their trade. Enjoy! ch:
New Album Release Date Set
31 Dec ’08 By 8 Comments
I hold in my hands the studio CD master for my next album (9th, for those keeping track), Live at the Lyric, recorded at Lyric Coffee House back in June of ’07 with guitar-virtuoso Paul Rohling. Special guests that night also included Jason Rodgers, Christian Fahey, and Ryan Grant. Today I’m sending all the design notes, pictures, liner notes, and credits to my graphic guru, Jason Clement. Then it’s off to ESP in Buffalo for duplication! The product release date is Tuesday, February 10th, with lots of tour dates being scheduled in NY, MI and possibly TN (just got word that Phil Keaggy might sit in with us if we gig in Nashville!). I’m also stoked because we’re going to roll out a number of sepcial packages that you can order, full of “signature collectible stuff.” (At least someone might find it interesting). These goods will only be availible for a limited time right here on our new online store (coming soon), but you can always order the CD from us (hard copy, or iTunes). To date, this is the first album I’ve created that I can actually listen to from start to finish without cringing at something I did (or didn’t do). Let the countdown begin! ch:
Live In The Studio
15 Dec ’08 By 3 Comments
After almost a year-and-a-half of delays, I’m finally in the studio this week mixing the Live @ The Lyric album I recorded in June 2007 with Paul Rohling. We’ll be broadcasting live from the studio today, tomorrow, and Wednesday; check back frequently if we have the camera off when you happen to log on. If I have a free second I may even chat with you if you’re watching. Thanks gang!
