I Win!

I've place in the New Times Music Awards!

Listen to the songs that placed!

"Our Terrified Ghosts" - Nominated for the "Best Country/Americana/Folk" category.

"Homesick" - Nominated in the "Best Songwriter" category.

I recorded my six songs and submitted them a few weeks ago, thanks entirely to you and your ridiculously generous donations to cover the recording time and submission fee (thanks again by the way!), and two of them placed! This is huge you guys, I'm so excited, there were over 300 songs entered into the contest and my songs "Our Terrified Ghosts" and "Homesick" have both been chosen as winners in their respective categories.

What this means is well... a few things. First off, I'll find out on August 20/21 whether I won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, but that doesn't really matter, just getting selected at all is a huge honor. Secondly, I get to play two different concerts hosted by the SLO New Times! One is on August 20th at the Mission Plaza and the other is the next day, August 21st at the Steynberg Gallery. So cool!

Thirdly (and this is where I need your help!) this means that both of my songs are entered into the "People's Choice Awards" part of the competition. This is where you the public get to vote on your favorite songs to win! It only takes two seconds to go to the website and place your votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and you have no idea how awesome it would be if I could win this! There's some well established bands in the running who have huge numbers of fans locally, but I'm betting we can do it based on how incredible you guys are!

Just go here http://www.newtimesslo.com/ntma_choice.php to place your vote and please, tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, students, teachers, in-laws, mailman, trash guy, bank teller, alien captors, and anyone else you can think of to do the same!

Thanks so so much for reading this, and thanks even more for making this possible, I couldn't have submitted an entry at all without your help! Talk to you soon,

I need your help!

I'm entering the New Times Music Awards, a local newspaper's annual music competition, and it ain't cheap! I need to record, and pay the entry fee, plus I'm saving up for a wedding and a new house right now, so every little bit of support from you guys helps immensely!

Here's the deal - If you donate 5 dollars or more, then once I've finished recording my entries, I'm going to put together an EP of all the songs and give them to you guys for free! These are mostly new songs you've never heard recorded well before, and I promise they're well worth it. Thanks so much in advance for your support, it means the world to me!
