The Whole Truth About The Summer...
Current mood: determined
Like a Labor Day car sales man would say, "Summer is almost gone but things are heating up." But Mr. Car Salesman, this is a summer I will miss- Playing the WBOS Earthfest while overlooking the Charles River with over 100K+ in attendance . Somewhere in July singing during the 7th inning stretch at a Red Sox game and then playing a set with the rivals in front of the Green Monster. (Being a life long fan of the BoSox it is still sinking in. My true dream was that I would be asked to join the team... Didn't happen.) A boat cruise and 27,659 air miles of flights between Los Angeles and Boston...
Which brings us to the big CBS Records push for Back Flipping Forward. This summer after some unsuccessful attempts to re-record Rise in Los Angeles I insisted that we re-record the song in Boston and there we got magic. All the rivals are on the recording. It is new, fresh and sassy. I'm excited for everyone to hear it. And, on September 17th, you can. The single will be released on iTunes with a live acoustic version and a live video.
THEN, on October 2nd, CBS is re-releasing Back Flipping Forward; to the WORLD! This is something we have reached together so you can pat yourself on the back.
If you download the album on October 2nd on iTunes you get a free bonus track.....
What, bonus track!?...
While hanging out at a bar in LA I heard a gentleman say he needed a cover of the Tears For Fears song, Everybody Wants to Rule the World for a new show in the fall. I quickly interrupted to let him know that I play an acoustic version of the song. Next thing I know I'm back in LA, recording the song in two days and then 48 hours after that it is in a commercial for a new show called "Kid Nation". Little did I know when I signed on that it was for a televised Lord Of The Flies. Anyway, that is now the free download with the album.
AND, IT GETS BETTER! On October 17th (two weeks after the national release of the album) I am appearing (as myself) on an episode of CSI: NY. Playing the song Rise on stage with Gary Sinise as my bass player. Yes, Lt. Dan plays bass and learned the song note for note. You are going to have to watch it to believe it.
That, for now, is the up and up.
