BLOOMING Update!

As I begin this new phase really focusing more on the songs rather than me as a performer, I wanted to make sure the fans understand the schedule. BLOOMING Volume 1 was scheduled to drop on Jan 1. It has not. I don’t know what is delaying the songs being active on Spotify and most streaming services.

We have decided, due to growing demand, to accelerate the release of Volume 2. This should also happen by mid January. That will mean 20 new tracks from the album releases should be streamable on all sites. The “Single” versions of each and every song off those two albums will follow.

Right now, the only websites you can stream those two albums are either here (check below) and my Reverbnation page. On the Reverbnation page you can actually stream all 7 volumes in their current form. But beware, some changes on volumes 3-through-7 may be made prior to final release. 

All songs can be purchased here or on the Reverbnation page. I apologize for the delay in release. 

BLOOMING Volume 1

This set of songs includes a lot of my favorites, leading off with a rocking version of “Laura Lie.” Track 2, “Sweet Emily” uses elements of the jazz piano version I released as a separate bonus track a few albums back. Never envisioned those two coming together but it seemed to work nicely.

There’s a lot of great songs here, including “It’s Alright,” “Don’t Tell Me We’re Not Through,” “Another Lonely Day,” and “In Pieces.” There’s also a brand new song, “Never Be My Girl.” 

Hope you enjoy.

Brian St. Aubin

Brian is a tasteful guitarist who always seems to find the perfect sound for each song. His axe of choice is a Fender (Tele and Strat), but you’ll also find some acoustic tracks or licks of his on the next album. You’ll also hear his harmonies on a few tracks. In short, he’s what the other students call a “righteous dude.” (If you get that reference you’re as old as I am).

He is a talented singer/songwriter. Listen to his compositions and recordings on soundcloud.

Bill Frank

Bill has been instrumental and a key part of my live performances for over a year now. He plays, well, a lot of instruments. I usually call on his bass skills. I swear he tells a story about being able to play along even after falling asleep during a show. And I almost believe him. He is always steady and dependable. 

He is also a talented and witty singer/songwriter. I’ll post a link soon.

Rich Williams

I used to make a standard joke, when people ask what instrument I play on my recordings, of just saying “I don’t percuss.” And I don’t. But I have gotten better at programming drums. But truth be told…I hate them. Rich is the only human drummer I’ve worked with in a long time. He is rock solid with a keen sense of letting the song shine. And while he doesn’t actually play on the next album, don’t believe for a second that I didn’t do my best to take some of our live recordings and copy his patterns.

His arms must be tired. He also plays with Day Tripper (a super cool Beatles cover band I’d love to jam with),  BroadBand and Brenda and the Boys.
