Hello there! I hope this Monday morning is off to an excellent start for you!
I am absolutely THRILLED to announce that my new record “We Came From the Dust” will be available on iTunes on March 29!
Yep…TOMORROW! WOO HOO!!!
This project has been the most challenging one yet. At times it was downright awful working on it. The songs didn’t come easily, and it’s the most I’ve ever invested in a record…money, time, energy, thought, effort…it completely drained me (and probably Mary, too).
That said, it’s also the most rewarding project I’ve done. I think the music on this album is the most honest/transparent stuff that I’ve written (which is a bit scary for me), and I am so excited about the performances of all the musicians that took part in this.
Speaking of….here are some stats from this project:
- 20 musicians and engineers
- 10 studios across 6 states
- Thousands of hours and dollars and tears and curse words
- 7 songs that will hopefully make a difference
Later today I’ll be posting another blog with a SINGLE pre-release, and some more specific stuff about the record. But in the meantime, check out the wonderful artwork (Mary created it!) and read about the incredibly talented people that made this music a reality!
