In The Studio, New Recordings on the Way.

Here's a little Christmas Surprise- I'm working with friend and neighbor Sam Johnson in a slick little recording studio in the South Burlington Arts District.

I tracked a new tune last night, tentatively called "Get This Going". We're also planning to tackle "Phantom Compositions", an older tune of mine that's never found its home in a recording.

Make sure to sign up to receive free mp3's of these new songs when they're available. Or you could pay for them in the iTunes store... Your choice.   

Until next time..

Week 7: List Building Animal. #msi9w3

It appears that life has gotten in my way once again and distracted me from finishing the Music Success in Nine Weeks Challenge blog posts in time.  However, this doesn't mean that I'm giving up!

What got in the way?
  • My first tour in a long time.  Though it was more of a "mini" tour, 4 nights in a row was the best I could manage juggling a full-time job.
  • Family, family, family.  Visitors, visiting, going, coming, seeing, saying goodbye.  You know the drill.
Week 7 is all about building the email list.  At my last show of the tour I did the free CD/email raffle with great success! Before the gig, I printed up some business card sized pieces of paper that just said "Name" and "Email" on them, along with a big mason jar.  One of the cafe employees offered to pass the jar around with the slips of paper and I had near 100% participation!  This is WAY more effective then anything else I've ever done at a live show to get emails.  If you other musicians haven't given this a try, I'd highly recommend it!

Meghan Morrison and I also did a "list swap" of sorts, by mentioning each other in our newsletters.  Of course, my newsletter was kind of vanilla and her's was a choose your own adventure mini-novella.  Thanks for suggesting it Meghan!

Ethan Waldman's Space


Like an acoustic version of Radiohead collaborating with John Lennon.

Ethan Waldman plays an eclectic blend of folk and rock, with a touch of the psychedelic 60's, the luscious sounds of stringed instruments, and a classic songwriting style.
