Hard at work on songs for “smoke, mirrors & the heartache that follows”. (coming spring of 2011)
In the studio with Ian, Mike & Sid of Fischerspooner.  (Brooklyn, NY)
synth heavy goodness right around the corner (tentative EP title, “postwar:the surrender”)
“hush”, “waiting for daylight” & “all of me” – a few tunes that will appear on “smoke, mirrors & the heartache that follows”
Thick air and not enough hours in the day – welcome to the summer ’10.  It’s been a few months since I touched base so here’s the low down:
I recently returned from NY where I spent several weeks writing.  The trip was extremely inspiring and produced some material that I’m very excited about.  It’s crazy how a few weeks can completely change the course of one’s life – but that it did.  I’m returning later this summer to work with several more producer/songwriters and may be making the move come fall – more on that later.

I’ve decided to put the companion to “theminorfall” on hold until sometime next year.  HOLD UP – before I get an angry email or two, let me explain.
The crop of material I’ve been working on for themajorlift has taken on another life – evolving into something that can not be fully realized in a 3 song EP so… I’ve decided to releases these tunes as a 5-7 song EP called, “smoke, mirrors & the heartache that follows” early next year.  Some of you may remember this title from a previous post or two.  It’s a collection that I’ve wanted to release for quite some time – it just required the right sum of material.  Several songs are already complete and the remainder will find their finish by fall.
in the mean time…
I WILL be releasing a single, video and remix EP at some point this summer or early fall – Along with an exclusive mix to a NEW song for Barnes & Noble’s second installment of the “Beauty” compilation (Slated for October) – a blog/website only mashup/cover and iTunes release of “drummer boy (play my drum)”… phew.  Is that a good compromise?
Upcoming Events & other tom-fullery:
- “sunday black” video release (TBA)
- video shoot for “headline” with Cole & McFadden
- Nike Foundation Benefit Show (July 11th Nashville)
- EP & Single release
enjoy the heat and as always – thanks for listening.
be easy
