February 2014
Here in MI, folks sure do love to talk about the weather. It's too hot in the Summer. It's too cold in the Winter. It's snowing! It's raining. It's windy. These are all common phrases, heard at various times of the year. But truthfully, the one phrase I hear more than anything else in regard to the weather is - it's so beautiful. Even in the Winter. Especially in the Summer. MI is known for its natural beauty and in every phase of its seasons - it is beautiful. As you can see from the photo above, Clouds and I were lucky enough to get some really great photos last Fall, with photographer Angela Amante Streeter, that capture some of that beauty. Check out the photos on my website. In fact, the whole website is redesigned around this wonderful photo. Yup. New website. Check it out here.
So I overhauled the website. I've also almost finished a new solo EP with producer Justin VanHaven. I'm starting to work on the artwork for the album and may have it ready by the Spring. I need to make some room around the house and raise some funds to manufacture this new EP so I'm running an inventory reduction sale on all my CD's. For the entire month of February, CD's are just $5 (+$2 shipping) exclusively for members of the mailing list. CDs only. This offer does not apply to downloads. If you want to take advantage of this offer, just reply to this email. And thank you for being awesome.
