excitement building

I'm super stoked! As of this week I'm finally finished with the final mix of the single I've been working on "If Someday Never Comes".  I had my heart set on a November 26 release but like a bonehead I was so focused on the music that I dropped the ball on getting my art together so while the 26th is still a possibility, it may be necessary to push the release back by a week or two while I get my act together. Keep an eye out for a Spotify pre-save campaign that will be launching in the coming days and if you've got the Spotify app please follow me here! Doing so will let you know when the single drops and can help to get it noticed by the Spotify algorithms and possibly get it some additional exposure.   And if I can make enough money at the $.004 per stream rate that Spotify pays maybe I'll buy you a beer! (but probably not. Most beers at the bars i frequent cost 1000 streams or more. ha!). If you don't have the app keep in mind that's it's free to download and you can still follow me. 

In other news, Phil Bright and I finally decided to officially name our project Splintered Mind and I'm mega-excited to start releasing that music as well. We've already got a few songs in the can ready to go and we've got some special guest appearances by some fabulous musician friends so watch for that.  Our first single is called "Starting Now" and is the tune in the video teaser above. It should be ready for release in short order so if you want to hear my more rockin' side that's where you'll find it. 

My little elven Christmas tune "An Elf Named Moe" is getting a little traction on Pandora radio just in time for the holiday season. It's been added to the Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, and Jimmy Buffet holiday radio stations and I've recorded a special message that you may hear if you're a Pandora listener. I'm also ready to start doing some judging on the 2nd annual Elf Named Moe art contest. Check out AnElfNamedMoe.com if you know a school-ager that would like to win the $100 grand prize.

Lastly, if you're around the Louisville, KY area this evening (November 3rd)  I'll be playing with RED, The Veer Union, Veio, The Villebillies, and Hunter Borowick at the Rock Out Cancer/KevFest concert benefiting Shirley's Way, which is a fabulous charity that helps cancer patients pay their bills while they're undergoing treatment. As many of you may know, KevFest started as a benefit to help out my buddy Kevin McCreery when he was struggling with the big C and I think he would be proud to see what it's growing into. 

That's about all my news. Until next time....
