  • Touch Is Here

    Touch Is Here

    Touch-Jody-WhitesidesMaking good on the threat of a new look to the website, Touch is here. As of 12:01 this a.m. I’ve spotted Touch being available on iTunes and Amazon. I’m told Spotify, and other sites should be live with it today. As should the video be on VEVO / YouTube sometime later today.

    Touch Is Here

    As soon as I find out the link for Spotify & VEVO, I’ll be linking more places of where Touch is on the Touch page. There will be updates occurring throughout the day and the next day or so as all the links become available to me. Kinda weird launching a song on a specific day and then still having to wait to see it go live like everyone else.

    My desire is when the next single launches, they all are able to coordinate their times. We can all wish right?

    Another launch today is episode one of Inside The Recording Studio also launches today. Meaning, you can now start the journey of how Touch got recorded, piece by piece.

    p.s. – stay tuned because in the not too distant future I’ll be announcing how you could win something extremely cool via a geocache hunt.

  • Welcome 2013 Happy New Year

    Welcome 2013 Happy New Year

    Ah what a year it’s been. Say goodbye to 2012. A year of interesting change. Musically, politically, and so much more. Help me in saying welcome 2013 Happy New Year!

    For me, I’m knee deep in finishing preproduction on a a slew of songs. I’m currently about midway through. My first couple of weeks will be pushing those gears to get them all done before running around LA coming mid month. Got meetings coming up with some of the networks and attending the infamous NAMM show.

    In the past 24 hours I finally got a couple of the lyrics changes recorded on a few of the finalized songs. That’s a great way to finish out the year!

    Next stop this year: new music. Plus another idea I’ve been kickin around is finally going to start getting of the ground. To the outside ear it’s huge. In my mind – it’s the way this event should be done. Stay tuned to find out what it might be.

    In the meantime, I hope you’ve enjoyed your evening’s festivities in a wild fashion without causing injury. Be well. Love to see more of you in 2013, Happy New Year!

  • What Songs Are Left?

    What Songs Are Left?

    Here’s a question that I’ve been getting recently: What songs are left? Meaning, what of the 72 songs that I started with for the next CD are now being considered for the next release. No need to ask any more. Why? Because the list is here [in alphabetical order]…

    American Mayhem
    Careful
    Femke
    Imagine Life
    In Disguise
    It Burns
    Jupiter Bowl
    Love Takes A Holiday
    New Here
    Stand My Ground
    Stand Up
    Things Left Unsaid
    Thump Thump Thump
    ‘Till We Meet Again
    Touch
    Vaporize Your Heart
    Waiting On One Thing
    You Can’t Hear

    Of those 18, there are a few more that I’ll axe from the list to get it down to the final group. I’m spending time pouring over each song. Debating on the arrangement. Making necessary lyric changes. Ending with any transitions between parts that need to be made. After all that, it will be time to assemble the proper crew to help out with the recording process.

    I’d love to get your help with offsetting the costs of the recording process. Please share the love of this page and help it go viral (click here).

    Stay Tuned!
