..3. Colorado Peeps!! Here's the Lowdown! In 2 weeks, you get to help me pick the songs for my next album!!! Think of it like wine-tasting! At my Colorado shows in Ft. Collins and Denver, I'll be giving you little song-tasting menus. I will be playing all the songs I'm considering for the next album, to be recorded this winter and released shortly after. Problem is, I have too many new songs to put on one album!!! That's a good problem to have, but you have to help me whittle them down....
So, on your musical menu, you will be able to Rate, Judge, Critique, and VOTE for your favorites and cast your vote as to which ones I'll be recording with the band come winter. How cool is that?!?!?! I can't wait to share these songs with you, and get your feedback. Don't worry, I'll be playing stuff you already know too....
Please help me make these shows a success. Tell all your friends and family and bring 'em on out for a rad musical experience...
Sept. 11 - Avogadro's in Ft. Collins - http://www.avogadros.com/
