  • Gig show

    Ah, rounding the corner into second base of the month of December. The show at the Gig was good. The band is playing better than ever and we’re excited and getting geared up for our first show in January at the Key Club. We’ll be opening for the infamous Martha Davis & The Motels. I promise it will be an excellent show and a great way to kick off the year.

    If you haven’t downloaded a copy of my Holiday Song, what are you waiting for? Its likely to be one of the most original holiday songs you’ve ever heard, and it’s pretty good to boot.

    Since music is such a great gift, I think you should help out a musician and purchase some of his CD’s to give to friends (hint, hint).

    Here’s my movie pick for the week: Finding Neverland. This is definitely a very moving flick. I also think it captures how creative people tend to think and see the world. Go see it, then e-mail me and let me know what you thought of it.

  • Happy Holiday Time

    Ho, ho, ho. It’s happy holiday time. What better to start of your holiday season than coming out to my final show of the year? Dec. 7th I will be performing at The Gig in Hollywood.

    Also, what else would be better than giving the gift of music? That’s right you can purchase some music by me and give it to your friends, your enemies, and even space aliens. What better than getting a choice. Do you want a single song? or maybe the whole CD? You can get if via CD Baby for the whole CD or on the Albums page you can purchase single songs via iTunes and Weed.

    Oh and because I’m feeling the giving spirit. Visit: Holiday Song You are free to download that song – yes its the full thing and freely distribute that link or mp3 at your freewill.

    Thanks, and happy holidays!

  • Weed Music

    Its Friday and I’m feeling a bit crazy! Well, maybe I’m not really crazy, but I have been doing some research into a new digital file format called WEED. Now you must be asking yourself, what is WEED? Glad you ask. Weed files are a nifty new version of WMA files. They are 192k mp3’s that have some kind of special digital rights. How does it work? you ask. Well, essentially the same as any other WMA file. It may require you to upgrade your WMA player. But once you have, you can play any weed file only 3 times for free. That’s right, get to hear any weed file 3 times for free. After the third time you press play, you’ll be asked to pay for the song in order to hear it more.

    Now, this gets even better, me as the artist gets paid when you purchase the song. However, you, the music fan, have the oportunity to make money off this as well. How do I MAKE MONEY on a WEED file Jody? It’s easy, after you purchase the song, you can freely trade the song to your friends or on the P2P networks. Then if someone else purchases one of the songs you’ve traded – you make a cut of the sale. Its the greatest pyramid scheme ever invented – you get great music, and you can make money just for trading it (provided you trade a file you purchased).

    The only drawback at the moment is that it only works on PC’s. I’m being told that Mac, and Linux compatibility of the players are coming soon.

    So, while I’m off to go sing a song, you can now visit the music (Albums) page and check out the weed files and have some fun.

    Oh, and the song? I’m singing a song written by CJ Vanston and a couple of his co-writers (Jon Shanks, and Johnny Elkins). Who is CJ Vanston? He’s part of the master-mind group behind Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind. I’m excited to have been asked to sing this.

    Have a great day!
