Sneak Peak ~ The Brightest Night and project update

Update #16 · Sep 21, 2011 · 3 comments
Dear Family

As I write to you it is the time of the Autumn Equinox and the although it has been over 90 degrees (Indian Summer) here all this week in Lagunitas, CA there is a hint that the fall is coming.

The last 6 months have been life changing and an experience I am so grateful to share.  As you know we began production on the new record at the beginning of March and have had such a journey together creating this amazing project with Will Ackerman and a collection of brilliant artists.

I have been going pretty much non stop since then with festivals in Stratton Vermont (40 mins up the road from Will...ironically) and Lake Tahoe, many gigs in between and some nice days back here at home working hard at living life as a self employed musician!

One of the greatest things about this project has been the gift of meeting and collaborating with many new musicians.  Including Grammy winner Jeff Haynes who joined me for 8 days in Vermont at the Wanderlust Festival.  This week I am performing with the great bassist Michael Manring at the final festival of the season, Earthdance.

Ok what now...Well the project is still in production as these things tend to have a life of their own.  Will and I have always said to let the music show us the way!  We have done some of the mixing although we realized we had a little more recording to do before we could say it is complete.  So in the next month or so we will finish it up.  The actual release date of the album will be in Spring 2012 so we have plenty of time to set up the right publicity, marketing and tour booking to get this music to as many people as we can!

The good news is you will get a final version of the download months before anyone else because...well, you helped make this project happen!!! So, I will keep you posted and it is safe to say you can expect your exclusive digital version in early winter.

As a teaser in the meantime here is a sneak peak at one of my personal favorite tracks.  Notice the gorgeous weaving cello and violin lines towards the end! Enjoy!!!!
Love you...THANK YOU!!!!
Todd
