When I started eskimo kiss records on that snowy day in January 2000, I never thought it would eventually bring me to this point -- releasing my own solo record! But I'm happy to announce that on October 28, 2008, The Good Graces' 10-song CD, "Sunset Over Saxapahaw," will be unveiled to the world. But guess what? You can preorder it NOW, just head over to www.eskimokissrecords.com and click the handy "BUY CD" link over there to the left. Pre-orders will be shipped the first week of October, so you can get your disc before it's even available to the general public. AND the first ten orders get a free print of artist Marissa Kaye's "Tangerine Sunset," which was used for the album's cover art. How cool is that?!?

The 411 - "Sunset Over Saxapahaw" is a catchy, honest, and endearing collection of tunes about heartbreak and hope. And while I've put a lot into every single eskimo kiss release, I can honestly say that I put more of myself into this project than anything else I've ever attempted. And if you know me, you know I've had a lot of "projects".

I could go on about the recording process (it was so much fun and inspiring), my influences (every eskimo kiss artist + John Darnielle), or the wonderful friends who helped me (and just because you aren't mentioned by name here doesn't mean I'm not forever grateful). But I feel that's all I really need to say. This record is ME, and I hope you like it.
