I’m so excited to share with all of you what I feel is my true debut as a recording artist. After playing regularly for a year and half with two terrific bands, I feel I’ve finally arrived at a SOUND, something original and honest in how I wish to express myself musically. Check the show tab for details on the release, and don’t fret if you’re not in the Cincinnati area for the partaay, the album will be available at future show dates as well as online soon after the physical release. Thank you for your continued support and save the date fellow Cincinnati friends and fans of the band, 10/23/10 at Baba’s!

Thanks everyone who came out and made this past Friday a lot of fun. We raised $450 for the Ohio River Foundation! Check out some pics from audience member Sarah Anne Slaby:

Hey all,

I had a few updates I thought I’d share with you. First, I contacted my purveyor CD baby, and we figured out that I never received the final approval email to let them sell the “Hand in Hand” E.P. digitally, which is why it’s taken longer than expected to see it on itunes or other outlets. I received that email today (WOO HOO!) and approved digital distribution, and because they have everything they need, I’m expecting it to be up in a week or two. So sorry for the delay, stay tuned and the minute it becomes available you all will be the first to know. 

The band and I are truly looking forward to the York St show. If you’ve never been there, the place is just gorgeous. The second floor stage is the biggest I’ve seen at a local venue. We’re also planning on lining the perimeter with couches from the third floor, which, if you’re lucky enough to nab one of those, I imagine it will be like watching us on a REALLY good HDTV. Also, the Ohio River Foundation has been awesome with promotion, and I’d especially like to thank Rob Shimp and Dennis Ryan for thinking of the idea. Here’s a link to their website if you’re unfamiliar: http://www.ohioriverfdn.org/. 

Lastly, I’ve recently been thinking about how to get more performance exposure. One idea is to try playing open mics in cities ,(in addition to Philly and Cincy), such as New York, Nashville, Branson, etc. We’re also looking for venues in our surrounding cities, such as Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, and as mentioned, New York. Lastly, after recording a few more songs out here, I’d like to start a radio campaign and send my stuff to college and public radio stations. Any input or suggestions on this would be much appreciated. For example, what public radio stations (or stations with a local time slot) do you like to listen to that you think would like my stuff? If you’re from or have been to any of these cities mentioned, what are some venues worth checking out and others to avoid? Hope all’s well and please pray for the people of Haiti and their families. 

Best Regards and hope to see you on the 22nd,

Dan
