it’s true!!! the EP is FINALLY done…but there’s a 5TH SONG that is NOT on it…and for a limited time you can download it FOR FREE!
it’s true!!! the EP is FINALLY done, and sent off to the disc cookers to bake at 420 for 5-10 days. so the hard copies won’t be available for a bit, but rumour has it that you’ll be able to pick up a copy on CDBaby THIS WEEKEND (yay!) and it should start hitting iTunes, Amazon, and all those other guys not too long after that.
i’m so excited i can hardly type…this is my first release and i’m really happy with how it came out. i know you guys are gonna love it, and i can’t wait for you to get your hands on a copy! it won’t be long now!
BUT—i’ve got an EXTRA SPECIAL SURPRISE for you guys. the EP has 4 songs ( i won’t spoil the secret on which ones for now) – but there is a secret double secret 5TH SONG that is NOT on it and…not only can you hear it, but for a limited time you can download it FOR FREE! You have to be signed up as a fan (which you most likely are if you are getting this email) but that’s it…no other catches.
Just follow this link, and as long as you have signed up as a fan, you should be able to download the MP3 file:

Anywhere EP – Available Soon Everywhere!
just released for purchase and download/streaming (downloads are free, paying for it is optional as always).
this song brand new…i just wrote this over the weekend…well, not entirely true. i wrote the chorus in the shower a few weeks ago, but i just got around to putting it together into a song. and in an unusual burst of productivity i actually recorded it and was happy with the way it came out.
here’s the lyrics. enjoy!

I had a dream once of you and of me
One day I woke up and then I could see
That something was not how it seemed
Nothing turns out how you dream
Everything happens they say for a reason
And to everything there’s a time and a season
But some things you can’t understand
(Like why) nothing turns out how you plan
I guess I got over that look in your eye
And I’m probably over the tears I been cryin’
Some men might die just to be by your side
As for me all I can tell you is goodbye
(all I can tell you is goodbye)
Once in a while you may get shown some light
Mixed with the wrongs you may get some things right
But some how it all won’t make sense
Until nothing comes to break you again.

6 more weeks of winter, a new date added with Will King on 2/20, more and better music available for download and MORE!
Wow. There’s sure a lot going on this Groundhog Day…where do I start?
Well ok, woodchucks first (yes, a groundhog is actually the same thing as a woodchuck, not a gopher as i mistakenly thought before checking Wikipedia). So Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so winter is gonna be sticking around for awhile more…6 weeks if you buy into the legend.
Well, I hate to be the one to remind phurry old phil that spring doesn’t actually start until the vernal equinox…which is more like 7 weeks away on march 20th. But, I guess what phil is really trying to tell us is “don’t break out the shorts and sunscreen quite yet”. Grrr. Thanks Phil.
Speaking of spring (and wishing it was), it looks like a lot of things are coming together. I don’t want to say too much right yet for fear of jinxing anything, but there may be some really cool things in the works. Subscribe here, join the mailing list, follow me on Twitter or Facebook…do something so you don’t miss any news!
On that note, Will King and I had such a good time playing together last month at The Bitter End in NYC, that we’re doing it again. Just confirmed today: We’ll be appearing at the ever so intimate Coffee Labs Roasters in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday Feb. 20th at 8pm. More details to follow, but mark your calendars and come out and have a bit of java and jam out with us!
I just upgraded my account on ReverbNation.com to allow larger files to be uploaded, so I refreshed all of my old MP3s with higher quality (320 kbps) versions which sound much nicer. If you already downloaded them, go back and get the updated versions…your ears will thank you. You can still download “Everything is Nowhere”, “Every Time You Fall” and “Right as Rain” for FREE, and “Olivia” is available for FREE if you sign up as a “fan”.
I also added a new recording of “Like A Wheel” which marks the first recording with me on bass guitar…as well as acoustic and electric guitars, djembe, and vocals. I also did all the editing and mixing…a total DIY project…and while I am not claiming to be really good at alot of these new tasks, it came out sounding good enough that I thought I should share it. You can stream it for FREE from the streaming player, or you can buy the downloadable MP3 for just 80¢. If you buy it, 100% of the profit (50¢) will go to help out people in need in Haiti.
My good friend Angela just overhauled my MySpace page as well…she did such a nice job I can’t stop talking about it. Be sure to check it out and add me as a friend if you haven’t already. Thanks Angie!
Of course, join me every Thursday night at 10PM EST for “Acoustic Brew”, my Live Show on BlogTV.com…and be on the lookout for some special surprise shows on other days as well.
Hope I see everybody soon!
peace,
jamie
