Time flies when you're burning the midnight oil. One thing I've been working on instead of updating you all is re-vamping the website. Take a look and let me know what you think.
Breathe In, Breath Out - On A Personal Note
Its been a while since we spent a full summer in the Great Lakes. One thing I keep revisiting is how soft the grass is here at home. Each time I go barefoot (the less the footwear the better) I'm in awe. WOW! It's like walking on a cloud! How did I not appreciate that before? No coarse grass, burs, or scratchy-pokey stuff. Also, I get to see the water daily. Watching a quiet sunrise over the water has a hypnotic way of setting your mind straight no matter what BS might be happening. Yes, it's early, and yes, I know winter is going to come but I'm bathing in those moments while I can, even as I miss the view from the van. I am thankful. If the world seems maddening, I hope you are able to find moments like those, too. I send you one at the end of this blog post!
Mad Man's World is HERE and I'm having a SALE!
Dylan's surgery and recovery period of course has played a part in our hiatus. Other circumstances beyond our control led us to cancel a planned release show. Which is why we've been doubly thankful for our amazing friends that pre-ordered. The setbacks have made me realize as much as I think that I think out of the box, my brain likes to put up a rules fence. There's much I'm looking forward to doing and looking at differently. One new goal is to move at least half of our first CD shipment by Mid-September, without a tour 😱
FREE SHIPPING ON 2+ CD'S
If you want our music in your ears now is a great time! If you have a friend or friends that you know would like a CD, I'm doing buy 2 or more and get free shipping when you purchase here at the website. Click the image of the CD, add 2 or more to your cart and use the code ShipFree at checkout.
If you only want digital downloads or don't need multiple CD's BANDCAMP is the way to go. They make sure each stream and sale is reported to the suit in the corner office with a view - sales are measured AND they treat creators well. You can also gift digital downloads to friends there.
If you are looking for an alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, check it out. And if you feel the music is worth more that $15, you can name your price - I'm charged about the same as my credit card processor and they deserve their portion for their fair trade platform.
Once again - how lucky we were to have a famous artist work on our album art! Thank you - Glenn Barr Check out the surreal world and beautiful portraits he's created on his website.
But wait, there's more!
I want you to know we have about 14 songs that aren't yet out and part of what I've been up to is making sure that music gets to you. I've also been doing radio publicity with some help from superhero Bobbie Ross. Let us know if you have a good college or community radio station near you and we will add it to the pile!
Life has been a real blues or country tune down to our oven catching on fire and personal threats dark comedy style. But hey, I've got great material for a song, someone just gave me concert tickets to a great show, we have been getting airplay on both coasts (the big ones), some nice reviews are coming in, and we are headed to New York next week!
I also have a some shows to announce for late summer with the band, and I'm so greatful for super awesome and genuine crew of musicians and humans, and being able to start getting back to what we love - making music for you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Thanking all those that have had our backs and lifted our spirits <3 Next time I'm gonna discuss Operation: Radio Domination - Stay Tuned!
