All Together Now at Mazarine Records
Words have been given, hands have been shaken, and I’m very excited to announce that I have joined the terrific group of lovelies at Mazarine Records in Athens, Georgia. Mazarine is Athens’ youngest and coolest record label—biased, me? Their artists include post-rock heroes pacificUV and much-adored indie folksters Hope for Agoldensummer. They’re reinventing the way record companies do business. And I’m thrilled that Thugs and China Dolls will be released by them!
October 2011 Newsletter: Please Release Me
Escape artists,
You have no idea how happy we are to announce that we have an official release date for the new record, Thugs and China Dolls. On Tuesday, January 17, 2012, we will release Thugs and China Dolls to the world. Should you see it fly by on or around this date, we ask that you consider feeding it.
And that’s not all. We have so much good news that we’re buried up to our necks in it.
Yes Way, Jose
Jose Ray designed this lovely and trip-a-licious poster for my Savannah show on October 20 with Jon Lindsay and Britt Scott.
You Kicked Me!
Holy smokes! You guys are the best.
Not only did we meet our $5,000 goal in our Kickstarter campaign, but we went way over, raising more than $6,200!
Thanks so much, you angels, you. We promise to make sure our record is worthy of your ears.
Dondero Drops from the Sky
I’m thrilled to announce that an amazing short-notice show has dropped from the sky:
I’ll be sharing a bill with indie folk legend David Dondero next Thursday, July 21, at the Wormhole in Savannah.
Get in your car and drive. And I’ll see you at the show.
Kick Me: Pre-order My New Record
Okay, gang. I’ve launched my very first Kickstarter campaign to make sure my new record, Thugs and China Dolls, makes it out of the studio and into your ears.
Don’t know what Kickstarter is? Well, Kickstarter.com is a cool website that allows artists and other imaginative people to raise critical funding to make sure their neat ideas make it out into the world.
I’m aiming to raise $5,000 (a small portion of my overall budget) by selling pre-ordered copies of Thugs and China Dolls. There’s all kinds of other cool stuff you can buy, too (a pair of Jim White’s loafers, anyone?), but pre-orders of the record are the main thing. So check out my video, then click through the link and order your copy today!
