I'm working on the new album.
I'm excited!
I've got some new songs I can't wait to get recorded
I've started on a couple that I tested out last summer a bit while touring the country. If you saw me you may have heard To Believe and Welcome Back.
I've written a few new songs, one of which was named by people on Facebook and twitter called City Lights, has yet to be heard by any one other than 3 people including me.
It's going to be awesome. The plan is to put this on vinyl as well which is DOUBLE AWESOME! (50% more awesome than regular awesome)
But as you know all this costs cash money.
So I'm hoping, if you are excited and eager to get some new eyeswide music in your ear holes.
A fun and amazing way to help is to buy/download the past albums or get a killer eyeswide t-shirt.
All that cash money will be going right into the next chunk of recordings/mixing/mastering pressing (on CD and vinyl)!
And if you all ready own everything, send this link to a friend and say Download an album or I will unfriend you on Facebook for at least a week! They will thank you for it.

I've always funded my own albums the city of Barrie has given me a small $1000 grant for the last one. But they are no longer funding individual artists. The last one cost around $8000, and I had a lot of people helping me out and cutting me deals.
As much as I like to tell you all that touring and selling the albums returns all the funds on the recording and producing of the album, It's not.
All the money I make on the road goes to filling my gas tank, food and paying rent and bills back home. So creating these albums pretty much creates a big dent in my funds that's very hard fill back in.
I'm really hoping this album is done before the summer.
I will do my best to get it out to the public as soon as posible.
I'm more excited about this than I have been for the last two.
Happy Family Day fellow Ontarians!
