So, it has been a while since I have written a blog but I have some exciting news to announce! First, the album is almost finished!!! Seriously…I mean it. No, really. I still make music. I do. The art work is all finished and Jason is just about done with the mixing. A CD release party will probably be held at the beginning of next year. (No date yet—stay tuned) Thank you for everyone that has been so patient…believe me when I tell you that I wish this thing had been released a year ago—but life happens. Here is a sneak peak at the album cover done by my good friend Shawn Romano:

In other news, CB Radio Records is official! The new website will be up in a couple of months. Until then you can check out the FACEBOOK PAGE and the TWITTER PAGE. The logo was also designed by Shawn.

And lastly, I will be opening for the phenomenal guitarist/singer/songwriter Kaki King on Saturday, November 12th at The Plaza LIVE. <——-GET TICKETS HERE!!! See you at the show!!!!

I’ve been taking a ‘break’, if you can even call it that, from playing out around town. This is for a number of reasons but the 2 most important reasons are:

1.) The birth of my son, London Christopher Burns, and

2.) I’ve been finishing up my full length album ‘Out of the Well’, due out this year.

So…Join me on Sunday, January 30th @ 9:00pm to hear a new live version of ‘Skeleton’ ONLINE!

Here are the details:

I was recently contacted by the Esente Music Group ( esentemusicgroup.com ) to be a part of a National Campaign compilation CD that raises awareness about drunk driving. This is a subject close to my heart because I have lost friends to drunk drivers. Recently a co-worker of mine lost his friend to a drunk driver. (Click Here for that story)

I’m happy to be a part of this project. I felt my song, DRIVE off of my EP, CB RADIO, was fitting.

*Keep in mind this version is like looking at a primed car that needs a coat of paint. What do I mean? The final version will have percussion, this is not a final mix, and it has yet to be mastered.

With that being said I felt that it sounded good enough to enter it in the Toyota Music ROCK the SPACE II contest.

I’m not really looking to win anything here…I just liked the “Demo Tape” application that allowed me to share this song with all of you! On this song I am playing acoustic and electric guitar, piano, and obviously singing the main vocal. Rion Smith is playing the drums and Alex Eastman is on the bass. Jason is also playing some of the tasty lead licks in the background. In the intro to the song, as well as throughout, you can hear me playing Ebow on the electric guitar with a slide. I hope you like this little teaser slice from “Out of the Well” and, if you remember, vote for my song. (If you want…no pressure)

Enjoy.
