“Trust” Now Available on CD Baby
Posted on | August 22, 2010 | No Comments
I am happy to announce that my new album, “Trust,” is now available worldwide via the wonderful folks at CDBaby.com. If you are like me and still prefer to have the physical CD, click on over and pick one up!! (CD Baby also sells digital downloads, if you so choose) There is also a place over there to write a review if you’d like to share what you think about the album and what I do.
I will also be making “Trust” available on iTunes and Amazon, but those stores take a little longer to get into — I’ll let you know when that checkpoint is reached.
Thanks for listening and for the support!!

I’ve Made a New Album, and I’m Giving It Away
Posted on | July 20, 2010 | 1 Comment
I’m happy to announce that my new album entitled “Trust” is finished. It has yet to be physically duplicated, but it’s available digitally right now, and (as the title mentioned) you can download it, in its entirety, for free.
“Why are you giving it away? Does that mean the album doesn’t hold any value with you?”
“Trust” holds an unbelievable amount of value for me, and that’s part of the reason why I’m giving it away. I didn’t make this album as a means to make money — I made it because I was driven to… because I felt that it was what I was supposed to do. I didn’t ask the songs to come out — they came out on their own in an incredibly fluid experience that will remain one of the most memorable of my entire life. And I want to share all of that with you, and with anyone and everyone who wants to hear it, without having to be burdened with the distraction of money. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep the download free (I’ll be selling physical copies once they are duplicated, and it’ll be on iTunes eventually as well), but I’m hoping I can afford to do it for a long time. I’d say it’s “free for a limited time only,” but I’d rather be more up-front and say that I’d love to give it away forever, but I also have to eat.
“Is there a catch? Free stuff scares me.”
There’s no catch. It’s not a pyramid scheme. I don’t want your first-born, or even a hi-five. Your willingness to listen, and time spent doing so, is good enough for me. If you enjoy what you hear and feel inclined to tell others about me and what I do, that’s wonderful and I certainly won’t stop you. But that’s kinda how music works, doesn’t it? If the music is good, it will find listeners, and maybe you will be a part of that. I don’t want to throw any pre-requisites into how beautifully that system works.
“Okay then, count me in. Where do I go to get it?”
Sweet! You can find the download here (no worries, Bandcamp downloads fly seamlessly into iTunes). The download also optionally includes a digital booklet, containing lyrics and album credits (lots of wonderfully talented people were involved in the creation of “Trust”).
I appreciate you taking the time to read this as well as check out the new album (if you so choose). For those of you who live in Los Angeles, details for an official CD release show will be coming soon. If you are not already on my email list and wish to be added, click here.
Thanks for reading, and listening!

Recording a New Album — Part 7.75

This is a quick update to let you know that (drum roll please)… mixing is complete!! It’s a glorious thing!! Chris and I are both really happy with how the songs have come together, and we’re ready to take the album to the final stage: mastering. It’ll take a couple of weeks to do, after which the album will be finished and I’ll be able to share it with you. I’ll also be making what will probably be the final video update, which will be about mixing and mastering, and then I can shift my focus to promoting and performing this creative body of songs that I’ve entitled, “Trust.” I’m pretty damn excited…
