R.T.D. to hit all the stations!

Early September will be the nation wide distribution of Romancing the Dark to radio stations around the country! I'm excited about getting the music out to a wider audience. I'm also thrilled that R.T.D. has been submitted for consideration for Grammy nominations in several categories.
This project sounds the way it does sonically because of the amazing artists that played on it. 
George Oldziey, Steve Schwelling, John Mills, Mitch Watkins, Bruce Saunders and of special note, Paul Unger on bass who plays with the Fort Worth Symphony and violinist extraordinaire James Anderson who's emotional, textural playing is threaded throughout the CD. James can be heard with his own remarkable band "Austin Piazzolla Quintet" in concert in and around Austin. 

I'm off to NY to sing at the Wall Street Jazz Festival this weekend, dedicated to the memory of the wonderful jazz pianist Marian McPartland...
I'll be back at the Elephant Room with GATO 6 Friday September 6th!  (9:30 to 1:30  315 Congress)  

Hope to see you soon!

What's up next!!

I'm not certain that I comprehend WHY it's a good thing to get a mess of thumbs up on your facebook band page...but I hear that if I collect several hundred or even thousands of "likes" on my band page something awesome will happen!! Perhaps a genie will pop out of my lap top screen and give me an all expenses paid tour across the U.S. &  Europe with a sound person running a fantastic sound system (that I don't set up) in acoustically fantastic halls with a band that rehearses and a 5 star vegetarian chef and personal trainer that tours with us!  It could happen...
But one must first consider hitting the little "like" thing-y on facebook....so here's my band page link and I'll let you know what happens!
Click this link,  then click "music" then hit "like" (only if you "like" what you hear of course!)
