I’m delighted to share a couple of big pieces of news with y’all. The first is that as of today, two new original songs of mine that the estimable John Faye recorded, mixed and played on — and that our good buddy Cliff Hillis was kind enough to master in record time — are now available to stream and/or download on all the big distribution platforms (e.g., Amazon Music, Deezer, Google Play, iTunes and Spotify, among others). Just search for “Mack Hooligan” and they should come right up.
My previous 3-song EP “The Wrecking Life,” which was recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Cliff Hillis in January 2017 and which features such talented musicians as John Short III (aka, “Shorty”), John Faye, Tom Curtis Jr. and Cliff, will be available on those same platforms within a few days.
The other big bit of news is that I’m headin’ down to Nashville in a couple of days to take in the 5 days of non-stop musical glory known as the AmericanaFest. I’ll be bringing branded USBs stuffed with the aforementioned songs in the hopes of hawking my songwriting talents and perhaps hooking up with some future co-writers down there.
I’m pretty excited about these next steps for my fledgling musical career. Hit me up the next time you see me at a gig or open mic and I’ll be happy to share what I learn in Nashville. Whatever happens, I’m grateful and humbled to have had these opportunities come my way, and can’t thank John Faye, Cliff and Shorty enough for helping to make them possible.
