      Did you release the 5-song LIVE EP and I just missed it?

Update #11: Jan 3rd iTunes release date....Kickstarter prerelease link this week!

Posted on December 22

So, if you've visited my website in the past 24 hrs, you would've noticed an exciting change of scenery...

Things you'll find:
1. There's a countdown to the big iTunes release date for HEARTBREAK YELLOW---JANUARY 3rd!!....

2. There's a sampler you can download if you sign your email address (or a friend's email address who you think would enjoy the music)...the sampler is a mixture of some of my past songs (for people who may not know my music), and also a couple special unreleased demo worktapes of songs that have never been released!

3. Also, new merchandise is available--people can place an order for a physical copy of the new album, buy a new TSHIRT, and also buy the new "Andy Davis Songbook Volume 1" (sheet music).  OR, special combo deals for discounted prices!

Take a look at www.andydavisonline.com and see what's happening--send some friends to check it out as well!

KICKSTARTER REWARDS UPDATE:
Some folks have been asking about the Kickstarter rewards packages--you guys are definitely my top priority, and I will first be sending a link to the digital version of the new album to you guys in the next couple days!  Feel free to rub it in the faces of the  people who have to wait until the iTunes release date.

**Once it comes to you guys, it would mean a great deal to me if you would not "burn" it for people, but would play it for them and encourage them to buy it either online or digitally on iTunes when it comes out Jan 3rd.  You have my full blessing to have listening parties, musical road trips, or even put headphones in random people's ears on airplanes to make them want it badly....

SO....you should be receiving the digital link to the new album in its entirety in the next couple days, and the physical packages will be going out in the mail in the next week to 10 days.  (We're experimenting with a few items before sending them all out.  Hamsters keep eating our pens, so the research has been slow.)

Thank you guys all so much for your patience and support---I'm so pumped to be releasing this record, thanks to all of your help.  Merry Christmas!!

Update #10: CDs in the mail soon! Details....

Posted on November 17, 2011

Hey guys and gals--just wanted to send out an update--if you follow me on twitter (@andydavis) then you heard that my new Heartbreak Yellow CDs came in the mail and I decided to go ahead and start selling them at my shows on this current tour.  I can't explain how good it feels to put a new cd on your merch table and begin selling it to the world, and again, it makes me thankful for you guys all the more for helping make it happen.

People have been asking......does this mean we'll be getting the CD in the mail soon?  What about the other stuff?

Yes.  This means that as soon as I get back from this tour (right after Thanksgiving) the packages will start going out, and the links for the new album (depending on what backer rewards package you are set up for).  Those who got sheet music will receive it along with the actual cd....the thank you posters and hand-written notes and everything will arrive along with the cd....and so on.  (all before it comes out on iTunes, I might add.)

ALSO--I'm setting up an online store that will appear on my website and facebook fan page where the physical CDS will be available for purchase, also starting soon after Thanksgiving.  This means that when your friends get jealous because you have my new unreleased CD, you can point them towards my online store where they can get their own! (instead of bullying you into burning it for them! I know you have pushy friends--stand up and tell em to get their own!).  I'll announce when that store is up and running---very soon! (In time for Christmas presents, I might add....what better Christmas present than my new cd, right? Right?)

Thank you guys SO much for your patience--This has been a really amazing season of creativity and you guys have played such a major role in it.  

Here we go!!

Connected as Andy Davis (5084 friends)

Andy Davis's smart and seductive blue-eyed soul music weds indelible hooks to sly, incisive lyrics, creating songs that sound like newly minted pop-soul classics.

A Louisiana native, Davis released his first album, "Thinks of Her," in 2004. "Thinks of Her" struck a chord on college campuses, selling out its initial print run. The original pressing of the CD -- with Davis's hand-written lyrics and stenciled cover art -- became a collector's item within months of its release.

In 2005, the remastered rerelease of "Thinks of Her" gained Davis national exposure and brought him to the attention of legendary music producer Mitchell Froom (Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello). The result of their collaboration was "Let the Woman," a sophisticated, sonically adventurous album that ignited a bidding war. Barnes and Noble won the exclusive rights to distribute "Let the Woman" online and and in their stores all over the world. The album's single, "Brown Eyes," became a staple on AAA radio stations nationwide, and "Let the Woman" became a #4 bestseller.

Davis toured extensively in support of "Let the Woman", both headlining and opening for Colbie Caliat, Jakob Dylan, Mat Kearney, Will Hoge, Howie Day, and NEEDTOBREATHE.

The following year, Davis became a prominent member of Ten Out of Tenn, a critically acclaimed collective of Nashville singer/songwriters who joined forces for a collaborative tour that was documented in the award-winning documentary film, "Any Day Now."

In late 2009, Davis returned to Nashville to record an EP, "New History," which was featured in -- and inspired -- an episode of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

2010 was filled with more touring, but more importantly, writing and planning for his next full-length album project, due out late spring/early summer of 2011. Davis has decided to embark on this album in collaboration with his fans--asking them to help fund the making of this album through a site called Kickstarter.com.

A thoroughly contemporary artist raised on old-school rock and soul, Andy Davis's infallible ear for hooks -- for a well-turned phrase -- and for the often irregular heartbeat of human relationships continues to engage longtime fans and win him new ones.
