2011, The Band, The Plan, and You!

Performing Songwriter – Of CD Titles and Bands

October 24, 2009 in Music, songwriting

My most recent newsletter covers my one upcoming performance and briefly mentions my current work in putting a band together.

Either click the image to the right or read it here.

Updates have been a bit sparse of late – mostly due to the schedule of recording, consulting work, and other writing projects.

I did recently provide an update to the Facebook Group – Performing Songwriters (United Worldwide) – covering some tools and technology to help the songwriter on the business side of product/merchandise and promotion.

I’ll be sharing that information here and at:
TheSongwriterOnline.

Stay tuned!
