I would like to thank all the people that have been coming to the site for the last few years and keeping up with me on all the comings and goings of this long musical journey that I'm on... your unending support has made many things possible for me. I actually got to do my first American Tour this year, although somewhat brief, it was an amazing experience that really rekindled the adventuresome nature of this path that I'm walking one step at a time. There have been many peaks and valleys through out the last couple of years, including pretty well throwing out an almost finished record because it wasn't what I expected of myself, then there were the kids who'd come to the music store where I worked and play me my songs... ups and downs, twists and turns, and here I am just hunkering down finishing the new album. The new release is being engineered and mentored/co-produced by Mike Olsen who played with Arcade Fire on their Funeral album, is a member of The Hidden Camera's and damn sure someone who has taught me so much in the last year about writing... this is where it all stats getting good... as for the record, there should be a release in the late spring possibly early summer, with there being some web updates along the way from the studio. Check out the demo Two Stars on the site... I'm invariably excited about that song... The website and album will be launched simultaneously so keep checking back for the finalized dates. I hope this finds you well, I am forever indebted to your support and thank you for believing in me... 2008 is my year.
Always all my best... Blake |
