CDs Almost Done! Yay!

As of 10/24, we got word that "Raise Me Up" is now in packaging mode.

They are due to be shipped out to us between 10/27-10/30 which means hopefully we'll be mailing CDs out to y'all by early November.

Thank YOU for your amazing patience & ongoing support for my 6th CD release - totally cool to know my music is such a fun, empowering part of your lives :)

Shine on!!!

"Don't Stop Me Now" Stopping the New CD

Soooo “Raise Me Up” is still not here, I’m sorry to say. We’ve run into some delays with getting some licenses in place. It’s funny how “Don’t Stop Me Now” – one of my fav rockin’ upbeat songs from Queen, has seemingly been stoppin’ us from the get-go.

It was the one of the toughest songs to figure out on the album, to find a way to do it fresh & still get that Freddie Mercury magic. It went from dance club feel to Sheryl Crow vibe to sometimes lame-feeling (at least to me & Teddy, my producer) to whatever it is now (man I hope you guys think it’s cool!)

Well at these final stages, it is the only song we are having problems with or more positively said, we are having an opportunity to practice patience as Nolan does his best to get a mechanical license from the publishers. So please pray with me…”Oh dear publisher gods, please stop the stopping of “Don’t Stop Me Now” & give to us the cherished mechanical license so that we may pay you & be on with it to share this colorful cover album with the world, so that all may be lifted up. Amen!”

Thank YOU for your patience & we’re intending to mail out all your sweet pre-orders in late October.

For now, enjoy Freddie’s original version of “Don’t Stop Me Now”

And if you really want (for those of you that have pre-ordered), email me to get an MP3 of a song or two from the new album to enjoy in the meantime.
