EP Updates



Updates:

The album art is being worked on pretty much as we speak. My good friend Sean Vranizan is working with Photoshop to create a really cool design that kind of connects with the story/theme of the EP. (You can check out some of his photography here). I am so grateful to have a friend willing to do this out of the kindness of his heart, and in exchange for lots of burritos and beer! It is really great to have someone else working on this, because I have no sense of visual artistry or technology whatsoever.

I am also in the process of planning shows for the upcoming spring. I hope to book a CD release show sometime in April, hopefully at this bar/pub near my house (The Parish). In addition, my dear friend Kaylinn (singer/songwriter of the wonderful band Dovely and backup vocalist on two of the EP tracks) and I are planning on putting together an intimate show at my house featuring Dovely, myself and maybe one other band, in early April, around the 9th. And finally, I have made arrangements to do an on-air interview and performance on a KZSC show called Girls with Guitars next quarter. WHEW!

In the midst of all this planning , I have been writing a couple of new songs that I am really stoked on. It just keeps on flowin'....

la vida buena!

p.s.
You can hear the unmastered version of the first track, The Fire, here. I wrote this song this summer when my house was filled with smoke from the Lockheed fire and I had some things on my mind.....;)
