    Holiday Tour & Rewards Pick-up and Shipping!

    Hello Friends,

    It's Christmas night and I hope that you and your family have enjoyed the holiday season so far no matter what you celebrate! Things are going pretty incredibly post-tour and releases. I wanted to write quickly and update you on the status of the Kickstarter Rewards and to let you know about my FIRST ever full band tour.

    As of now, you should have received free downloads of Seaside Sessions, Spring Song Vol. 1, and Some Small Way. The physical product for Some Small Way and IIOI/KOJI have JUST come in. Due to some production issues (with both releases), there was a delay in getting the records to distributors and then to me.

    Unfortunately, it left me no time between rehearsals and family celebrations (and a nasty sinus infection) to ship these before Christmas. Now that I'll be leaving for tour tonight, I'll be bringing all the Kickstarter t-shirts and records with a list of who gets what. You may pick up (to save the environment) your Kickstarter rewards at the shows listed below. The rest of the packages will go out in the New Year!

    Thank you SO SO much for the amazing support and your patience. I hope that I've been able to make you proud. Please get in touch with any changes of address as the packages will be shipping in the next two weeks. And see you soon!

    Love & light,
    KOJI

    ps. I hope you don't mind the changes in the formats for the rewards. The cassette has morphed into a CD and the 7" turned into a 12" full length. These changes, I think you will agree, are for the better! Here's the dates...

    Tour Update #2

    These are images from a screening I did with Invisible Children's Mid Atlantic Roadies in Virginia Beach, VA. We screened the film "Go" (featuring Amanda Mitchell, pictured below) for over 1,600 students and raised thousands of dollars and so much enthusiasm and awareness about Invisible Children's work in northern Uganda. We've been so fortunate to meet the most amazing artists and activists on our journey so far. It's been completely inspiring to see people coming together around good causes and good art. There are more images and stories on the way!

        Bay City has an amazing state park. I love to go take pictures there. There is also a huge antique store, you can find so many cool things in.
