The new Cd has been doing amazing in sales! So good, in fact, that I've had to re-order already, which is so incredible. I have not had any time to contact press or submit the disk for reviews and it's doing better than any of my other Cd's. I am well aware of the blessings that I wake up to everyday by being able to do this for a living and having this record turn out to be so successful, well... I am truly amazed. I'm already planning the next one! (Don't tell Sarah, lol, she's gonna freak out when i tell her i'm ready to record again, ha ha!). Speaking of Sarah, it's looking more and more like we will continue touring together this fall and winter. We have decided that we need to tour this record together since we did write, record and produce it together. Stay tuned for the updates on the upcoming tour(s) and be sure to spread the word to your friends and family (and stranger too, please!) about the Cd and the shows. We need your continued support throughout this journey as we know, without question, without you we would be serving breakfast to tourists. Check out Sarah Peacock online: www.sarahpeacockmusic.com where you can hear her debut Cd. Also, just cuz I wanna brag about myself here... her most recent pictures are an example of my other passion, photography! I took them pictures and am so very proud of them. Check em out! Also, the website is undergoing many face lifts right now. Keep checking back, I'm gonna be adding some cool features and more interesting things rather than just the boring ole stuff that I never update anymore. I need to be better at adding journal stuff and keeping y'all up to date. I have been lazy and letting facebook take over my updates. So, stay tuned for more changes coming soon. June 13, 2010 It's that time again! Time for NEW MUSIC!! I am super excited for this new Cd to be out and it'll be ready for your listening pleasure on June 20th!! If you are planning on coming to the Eddie's Attic show on June 20th, you'll be one of the first to be able to get the record. All the pre-orders will go out as soon as they arrive on my door step, which should be Thursday, so I guess YOU'LL be the lucky ones who get it first. Yay! The past few years have been the hardest years of my entire life. I haven't been in a very good place emotionally, spiritually, physically or financially and I even contemplated quitting music all together. Those who are closest to me know what I have gone through & what it means to me to put out another cd when there was absolutely zero chance of it happening just last year. Until I write my autobiography, the rest of you will just have to trust that this Cd is an absolute miracle. ;-) Last October, Sarah Peacock was over at my house, and we were packing our gear up to go to St Croix for a three week tour. I pulled out an old 8 track from under my bed and said "hey, do you think we can record a Cd with this?" and I laughed, because the only thing that 8 track ever did for me frustrate me due to how hard it was to use. Sarah jumped up and said " we totally can!" I laughed harder and stuffed it back under my bed. She pulled it out again and insisted that we could use it to record. That was the beginning of this record. Sarah plays every instrument in the world and I happen to own every instrument in the world, (but can't play them, nice huh?), it made perfect sense for us to at least TRY to make it work. And here I am, six months later, introducing you to a brand new project, "A Little Bit Of You". It took us a lot longer to get it done than we expected. We added songs, took them off, added them back, re-cut them, re-wrote a few of them and fought tooth and nail about details that no one would ever know about. We spent four days in an empty Atlanta apartment and recorded non-stop, ate too many frozen pizzas in the freezing cold (no heat). We tore down the make shift studio there and hauled it to Nashville and recorded bits and pieces either at Sarah's apartment, or in the closet at my sister and brother in laws house. Then, we tore it all down again and hauled it up to Madison, Wi to my place and FINALLY completed it! Eleven songs that would have never seen the light of day had we not decided to dream bigger. It's amazing what you can do when you refuse to give up. I hope you will enjoy the new music, the new sound and the combined work of Sarah Peacock and myself. This project is as much hers as it is mine. I am grateful to her for sharing her talents with me on this project. We will celebrate the completion of this record at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, GA on June 20th. We didn't plan it to be a release party as we weren't sure it would even be done by then. We're just going to celebrate the completion & start sellin' it.. We're also giving away a guitar at that show, just for fun. We'll throw a big ole party later... maybe a few of them. ;-) "If I'm Gonna Do It" is one of the songs off the new Cd... hope you like it... |
