New Album is Out!

Update #19 · May 27, 2010 · comment

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!

Update #18 · Apr 13, 2010 · comment

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
