Great news y'all:

1. I got married to my sweetheart. His name is Will. He reads a lot.

2. I got a publishing deal through Position Music! They will be representing my new record (which is ONE SONG AWAY from being FINISHED!!). For more information about Position, visit: www.positionmusic.com.

3. I am moving to East Nashville. That isn't that exciting, I guess. But I wanted a longer list.

4. I am redoing another old song of mine ("Nashville") for my elusive upcoming album. John and I have about 3 more instruments to record and then it's a wrap. We are shooting some more photos for the cover this week and then I have to convince you to buy it!

SO that's what I've been up to. What have you been up to?

Yo yo hey y’all. Does anyone ever read these?

If so, I have some unfortunate news. I am pushing back the release of my covers album Pulls the Covers that was slated to be released in a couple of weeks. I am hoping to have it finished this summer. I have been using my precious time in the IHOF studio to complete my ten-song LP that I have been laboring over for almost two years now. I have redone another old song (formerly known as “Nashville,” now called “Skyline”), and there is also an exciting business endeavor that I will officially speak of soon. So I have not been idle… though my Myspace sure does look like it! I am getting married in a couple of months (very excited about that!) and graduating from college … so you know, things have been busy. I am looking forward to sharing this record with y’all very soon! I promise it is well worth the wait! This month we are finishing Skyline, revisiting the record, completing the track list, and shooting another round of photos for the cover. So when I say “very soon,” I mean it!

Visit www.dweebrecords.com to see the studio I have been hiding in!

Check out Thacker Mountain Radio on Facebook to see photos from my visit to the Oxford, MS radio show!

Well I will be talking at y'all soon... I will try and be better at updating this thing... Maybe I will post pictures from my wedding!!! OMGGGGG!!!

Love,
Alva Leigh

Hope you like the new tune! It's another one off the new record. More details on that soon... I am going to put some up on Noisetrade for download/purchasing/sharing, probably these three and another one you haven't heard yet!

Happy Saturday--enjoy the pretty weather for me, I'll be inside reading Oedipus Rex woo hoo

ps- Check out the info on the Nashville Rescue Benefit show! It may be the last one I do until January... but I am already making plans for tours next year, so I'll see some of you soon!

Hello friends, check out a track from my self-titled LP! Hope you like it! There will be more to come soon. Happy to show yall a little of what I've been working on this past year. This is a song I wrote this past semester after reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." This week is crunch time--we're pushing to finish the record before I start classes... so more will be coming soon!

Thanks! Alva Leigh
