    New Album is Out!

    Hey guys,

    It's been a long journey, but my new record "Good Times, Good Times" officially came out this week. If there's anything I was supposed to send out that you haven't received, please let me know. It's highly likely that I messed up at least one person's mailing address!

    If you like the record, please help spread the word about it. It would be a huge help if you could rate and review the record at these sites:

    iTunes
    http://bit.ly/shwaitunes

    Amazon
    http://amzn.to/shwa

    CD Baby
    http://www.cdbaby.com/shwa5

    This wouldn't have been possible without your help and I hope you know how appreciative I am.

    Thank You!!!!!
    Shwa

    CDs Coming Soon!

    Hey guys,

    I've been hard at work sending out CDs over here. If you ordered a physical CD, you should be receiving it soon. If you haven't provided your address or if you've moved recently, please make sure I know how to reach you.

    The CD release date is slated for Tuesday, May 25 and I'll make sure to send out free digital download codes for everyone who ordered it at least a week before then.

    Thanks for being patient guys. I hope you like it!!

    xo,
    Shwa

        Oh my god, I love this. Can we play this at our wedding reception?

        Except I don't think the "shake your dicks" part will go over too well with the more uptight crowd. Hey, I'll pledge another $50 if you make a customized version just for the wedding!

    Couple Thoughts

    Playing music isn't easy. Well, the actual writing, performing, and recording part is easy. But when I'm emailing venues, sending out fliers, promoting shows, updating websites, going to conferences, drafting press releases, driving all over the country and lugging gear...sometimes it feels like actually playing music is such a small part of what I do. And sometimes I get lost in all that and forget about all the people I've been able to connect with by doing one of my favorite things for a living.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, I couldn't do all of this without your help, and while I truly appreciate your support over the years, this month was such a reminder of all the people pulling for me. It feels amazing.

    I hope I can use this money to make something that resonates with you, and I hope when you listen to it you'll remember that you made it possible.

    Thanks so much guys.

    WE DID IT!!

        We give as good as we get, kiddo. Thank YOU. And as long as I'm taking a break from drafting a press release myself, let me remind you that some of us are messed up enough to actually like that crap, and are only too happy to help. Mazel.

        Now get back to work. :)
