Thoughts on the Dead “promotes” my project
It’s always fun to read Thoughts on the Dead, and even more fun to be mentioned!
I appreciate the links to my Indiegogo project and the audio sampler… and the selection of photos!
WYEP feature on my new project
WYEP Pittsburgh has a nice “guest DJ” piece where I get to talk about my CD project. Listen here.
I am performing at the Rex Theatre in Pittsburgh on Thursday, with Fungus. From there I go to Nelson Ledges, four gigs with Pearly Baker’s Best, and more. Full tour details here.
And here is a link to the Indiegogo campaign. I’m asking for pre-orders – $15 for a digital download, $25 for a signed CD, or $100 for both those items plus a bonus disc with alternate takes, demos, etc.
