Recap of Shows from June 6-8, 2013!
Hey Folks!
Wow, it's been a busy few days of playing some songs for you! It was a privilege to be a part of the Songwriters and Poets Series in DC's Adams Morgan neighborhood on Thursday night. If you haven't checked out what Indie Adams Morgan is doing lately, they are putting together some fabulous nights of spoken word poets, solo acts and full bands. It was great fun playing with Juels Bland, Shelly Bell, and The Future Band DC! After the buckets of rain, on Friday evening, we had a blast at St. Elmo's Coffee Pub and gave a few of my older songs a workout like "Rind of the Moon" and "Many Days." Then last night, I had the chance to be play in a Songwriters Circle/House Show at 16th Street House in DC with DC-based singer songwriters Sara Davenport, Dave Farah and Maureen Andary of The Sweater Set. Thanks to Carolyn Crysdale for having all of us! Check out her music, too! And don't forget, please check out my new single of "19 East" on iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby! More details can be found under "Records." I hope you like this alternate version! More fun things are in the works, so check back here in the next few days! MT "19 East" Single now available on Amazon, CD Baby and iTunes!!!
Hi Folks!
Okay, here is my big announcement. I have decided to release an alternate version of my song “19 East” through a number of virtual record stores like Amazon, CD Baby, and of course iTunes (search my name or 19 East) This version includes a percussion section with Stefan Held on bass guitar and Matty Amendola on the drums. I hope you enjoy the artwork as well as the song. I encourage you to write a short review of the song, whether you choose to buy the track through Amazon, CD Baby, or iTunes. Please share this with your friends and family. I’m really excited to release this song as a single for digital release only!!!! Thanks for all of your support! I’m really proud of this track.
