It's happening...Radio
Sweetheart is being printed RIGHT NOW, and will be shipped to all of the
amazing donors who made it possible in the next month or so. Thank you
so much for your patience, I know it's been a long wait, but I think
it's worth it. The album will be available in the online store as soon
as it's here. With the release of the new record I'm preparing to hit the road, shows in MA, CT, VA and PA, lots of them with the fabulous Girls, Guns and Glory.
I'm also headed to the annual South by Southwest music conference in
Austin, TX this March. I'll be working to showcase the record at an
event that's always been a success for me. Both of the labels I've
signed to have seen me first at SXSW, and I've made so many great band
friends that I'll keep for life.
This year is a little different;
now that I'm a mama and I've been away from the scene for a couple of
years I'm taking a different approach to touring. In other words, the
family is hitting the road to Texas together. And that's where you come
in. I'm headed to Texas with my son, Elliott, my husband and musical
partner, Lyle Brewer, and my mum. We'll be flying there and back,
staying for a week, and doing our darndest to get this thing off the
ground.
I've started a Pledge Music
campaign to defray our costs. The link is below, and you can read more
about what we're doing there as well. Givers can expect two new songs,
an online concert, and some other goodies. Our goal is $2000, which is
the minimum we'd need for the four of us to stay, play and eat for the
week.
In closing, with both the
release of Radio Sweetheart and the trip to SXSW, I'm hoping to strike
that balance between being someone's parent and being a musician. I
guess I'm trying to make us both proud:)
