Update #4: Week One review
First off, thanks to everyone's support thus far! We are in your debt and will deliver.
Second, today we want to share one of the already recorded & mastered tracks from our forthcoming album, "Together, Alone". This is "Stranded" which was written for a website called SongFight.org (they post song titles, musicians write songs based on those titles; it's a great songwriting community of fun and friendly competition). In fact, 3 of our album tracks originate from SongFight! Check out "Stranded" below.
Third, the artist competition has also begun. We've already received a couple of submissions and expect to get plenty more. Don't hold back! Send us your artwork for a chance to visually be part of the audio experience. We'll be posting submissions on our Facebook page for all to see.
Forth, Phil just announced on Facebook that he's offering an exclusive bonus to the first 25 backers of our album: a special photo collection of Phil in drag! It will be very embarrassing and can be used against him in the future, promise. Don't worry, it will be distasteful but clean.
Without further ado, bring on Week two!
Eric & Phil
Update #3: A teaser from the bonus CDs
Here's a teaser of what will appear on the bonus CDs. This is Wages performing "Chick Magnet" solo at The Yellow House in West Plains on 10/22. The entire performance with Wages and then Hoglen & Wages will be given on the bonus CDs for this project!
Update #2: Artists! The contest has begun for designing the CD/poster/tshirt
Hi everyone! The Official Artist Contest has begun! This is for designing our CD cover, t-shirt, and poster (or all three!) and it is open to YOU or your artistic friends (please share this contest with anyone you know who is artistic who might be interested).
Go to the below link for the official contest page on Facebook. You do NOT have to be on Facebook to participate nor do you have to be a backer for a project (but you may do both if you wish).

I'm one part of Hoglen and Wages, a songwriting duo began in early 2010. We both sing, write, and play guitar. We've written over 25 songs so far & look forward to making our first album.
