I’m moving to Brooklyn. Call it a wild hair, or a desire to shake things up. My last full-band show as an Austinite will be Friday, January 13th 9PM at One2One Bar.

Come out for a going away party like no other. Kalu James & Donny Jones Songwriter Series opens, Little Brave closes.

We did it! We did it! We…oh hallelujah!

After 30 days, I’ve come to a grand tally of $5, 425!

After wrapping the second week of recording, I was very relieved to let my producer & cellist know that they are, in fact, getting paid.

As the album comes together, I’ll begin sending out the rewards. I expect the album to release sometime in the Spring/early Summer 2012.

Until then, my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to:

PS. Remember that contest I entered to win $20,000 in gear and recording? Because of you guys, I’m in the lead. Voting continues till Dec. 11, and I compete live in Austin on Dec. 18th for the grand prize. I believe in Santa! I believe!
