Hey There - My apologies if you've already received this news through my mailing list, but I wanted to be sure that I got the word out to everyone I know that my new album, "Solidago", is now available for pre-order until Feb. 1. The official release will be April 7th, but I thought it would be cool to give friends (and friends of friends) the chance to order it and hear it early.Here's the infomercial bit: When you pre-order the CD, you also get a new t-shirt (100% organic cotton, I'm happy to add) and a "dropcard" that lets you or the person you give it to (as a nice little gift) download a free copy of the album online. So there you go. All delivered to your door. Pass it on. TO PRE-ORDER, "SOLIDAGO", GO TO: WWW.CHRISVELAN.COM/STORE And if you haven't already, I invite you to join my mailing list (www.chrisvelan.com) so I can let you know about news and upcoming shows. Peace and good things to you in 2009, Chris
