This past Thursday, March 27, ALBIE Entertainment hosted a release party for me and the new album at Pie In The Sky in Franklin, TN. What a blast! It was a great opportunity to say thank you to so many people who had been instrumental in the making of this record. Some folks there had contributed to the budget; some, like Jill Parr, had co-written songs with me; some are just friends who have been my cheerleaders along the way. But for me, the best part was that my wife and kids got to be there – sweet!
The food was great, there was even a cake with the CD cover on it (my youngest son insisted on eating the piece with my face on it… sweet or weird… not sure). And we wound the night up by playing 7 songs off the CD. Bill Bleistine on drums, producer Joe Hand on bass and myself sporting my brand new Breedlove guitar. That was an amazing moment, to play the songs the way they are now, for the people who have believed in this from the beginning. See the pictures below for more of the love!
A huge thanks to Aly and Bill for putting this whole thing together! It is so great to have people on your team who believe in what you do as much (or more sometimes) as you do. And a big thanks to everyone who came and blessed me with their presence that night!
And while this might be a logical end for this ‘Recording Blog’… there are actually one or maybe two more release parties in other parts of the country that need done… so, it ain’t over yet!
