Hi Friends

Hope you're all well.

Things have been busy here lately with writing, recording, playing and most recently getting involved with 4th Street Records both musically and behind-the-scenes. Its an exciting chapter both for me and my music and I just wanted to let you all know about 4th Street and what the label is all about...

The label was founded a number of years ago by Shaun Buswell and Stuart Gould with the single aim of promoting and launching the british group 'Buswell'. The first single 'Let Me Love' sold out and the video was aired on MTV (UK) and various other music channels. The group went onto release several other singles and an album with the label culminating in 2 UK headline tours. 

During this time, Shaun and Stuart discovered the music of 'Ox' (Canada) and 'The Flaming Moes' (Sweden). 4th Street Subsequently released the citically acclaimed Ox album 'Dust Bowl Revival' and The Flaming Moes single 'I Got It'.

Now in its 4th year, the label is about to embark in a new chapter in its history. . .

3 Months ago Stuart approached me asking if I would like to come aboard and work with and build upon the continued success of the label. Without hesitation, we set about rebranding its foundations, launching new Myspace and Facebook identities as well as releasing our 2009 Festival CD, comprising of the best national and international acts associated with 4th Street.

My debut EP 'The Darkness Of The Night' will also be released on the label which I am very excited about. 'Lullaby' is also featured on the aformentioned 2009 Festival CD which will be doing the rounds in the next few weeks. 

Not only will I be releasing my music, but I will be working behind the scenes working with the bands, promoting the tours, working the merch tables, selling CD's, maintaining the online ident of the label, designing the flyers, posters, adverts, labels, t-shirts and everything in-between.

Shaun, Stuart and I have decided to create a label that truely LOVES music...we want to recreate that feeling you get when you open a limited edition vinyl, CD or hear a piece of jaw-dropping music for the first time....its that BUZZ.

We're going to take pride and passion with every release.
We're going to spend hours writing special thank you's to all that purchase our music. We're going to stay up late sticking down hand stitched labels that we've previously stitched the night before...

We're going to do it all.

I hope that you will join us, and embark on our journey of discovery...

After all, the road ain't as fun without you...

Lend us your ears
