      I never got a download code...should that have happened a while back, or am I just crazy?

Update #16: Quick update, more soon!!!

Posted on September 30, 2011

Hey folks! This is just a quick update to say:

ALBUM HAS BEEN RELEASED! CDS are HERE. I'm a disorganized FOOL, and have been busy all day everyday preparing for and then recovering from my big Song A Day 1000/Album release Show!! 

You should be receiving download codes for the album today in just a little bit. I need to generate them and send them out. Then, later today (or tomorrow if today gets away) I'll do a proper video update about when you can expect the CDs!!

Update #15: Concert on Sept. 28th in San Francisco

Posted on September 20, 2011

So, as mentioned, my big CD release show/1000th song unveiling is happening in a little over a week at the Red Devil Lounge on Wednesday, September 28th at 7pm. Tickets are $7 ahead of time, so go here and get you some:

And if you're not in the Bay we will HOPEFULLY be streaming the show, more on that later. If you're not in the Bay, but you know someone who is, send them down! The more the merrier.

Finally, here's some footage of me rehearsing with the string section that'll be taking part in the performance! Yes! A string section! I've made it to the big leagues.

      So jealous of all of you in San Francisco! Wish I could see this live.

Update #14: It's coming....!!!!....!!!!

Posted on September 19, 2011

Hey folks! Song A Day: The Album is ALMOST here. Go ahead and watch the first video, and listen to the whole thing streaming here:

www.songadaythealbum

The physical packages will be going out late next week (they should be arriving here a week from Wed.), and those of you that got digital copies will get them on Sept. 28th, the day of my 1000th song!

Speaking of that day, I'm playing a big show in San Francisco, with many of the folks from the album. It's my 1000th song/song a day: the album record release show! If you live anywhere near the Bay Area, please come by and bring your friends!

Tickets here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3871915

Thanks again! I'll let you know once the records have shipped!!!

<3,

Jonathan

      Yay! I will try to make it to the release show, although Wednesday nights aren't good for us working stiffs. :)

      (Also, I just noticed a tiny tiny error on the 'who played what' spreadsheet: I did some vocals on Smoke Signals. Not a big deal though.)

Update #13: The T-Shirts Should Be Arriving!

Posted on August 24, 2011

There are two designs, many colors and sizes! I'm really happy with the way they've come out. Post a comment if you're gotten yours! 

The record is well on it's way! It's been mixed and mastering is scheduled for Aug. 30th. Hopefully a week after that, it'll be done and I'll be able to immediately post download codes for the record! Then, a little bit after that, maybe mid-September, I'll get it pressed and start sending them out!

For those of you that chose POSTERS, I'm doing those a bit different from the T-Shirts, so I'll be sending those shortly!

If you didn't donate $35 or more and you want a T-shirt anyway, they're up on my store page at:

http://www.jonathanmannmusic.com

Thanks so much, once again, for all your support!

More soon...
