Helping Haiti
27 January 2010 Del.icio.us StumbleUpon

First and foremost I want to announce that from January 25th to February 7th, $1.00 dollar from every CD sold online will go to the Haiti relief effort. So please check out my new album, it's streaming for free on my media page and there is a link to purchase it. It's for a good cause, you get my brand new album, you help out with Haiti, and you feel good. It's a win-win situation any way you look at it.

Secondly Geoff and I have quite a few performances coming up. We've been rehearsing quite a bit, filming ourselves performing and improving our stage show. I'm really excited about the direction it's going in. Coming up we're performing January 29th in Charlottesville at Maya (let's hope it doesn't snow!), February 3rd in Roanoke at Awful Arthur's, and February 6th in Virginia Beach at Green Parrot. See my events page for more information (like links to venue websites so you can get directions).

I found some old music I had completely forgotten about, music which I absolutely adore. It's a bit confusing - both of the bands were called "The Bees". One was from America and one was from the UK. The way I remember it, I think the UK group had the name first, but because there was a conflict with using the name in the U.S., the UK group went by the name "A Band of Bees". In any case, "The Bees" from the U.S. changed their name to "The Silver Seas", but the band from the UK left their name as "A Band of Bees" in the U.S. So you see it's all a bit confusing, but the music is great.
