Happy New Year! - and what a mess the last one was!
Here's to better things ahead - but for now, it's a continuing state of adaptation. With the current state of pandemic (can we just say "plague?") affairs, live shows are still off the table for me, unless a special circumstance arises: I have to think not of only of my own health, but my family and students as well. Too much risky behavior going on out there! So, streaming will continue (though I'm taking a couple of days off for end/beginning of year duties and general catch-up), and I'll be upgrading the apparatus (to borrow a quote from my favorite episode of "The Tick") and moving into multi-platform streams, a little more instagram presence, etc., as well as getting well and truly into tracking the next release. Which begs a question: if I were to get more into YouTube, what other sorts of content would you click in to see? December was my best month ever for streaming, on the back of "Solstice Carol," which somehow keeps being discovered. Nevertheless, the numbers there are still small - I appreciate every play, and especially playlistings, but also remember the best way to support musicians in the present moment is still directly, via CD, download, and merch sales; and communities such as Patreon, where you'll get free music, other perks, and more insight into the process. (On the CD front, holiday sale prices are good through tomorrow night - i.e., the end of Christmas season proper. First merch sale of the New Year starts Friday). So, please tune into streaming, watch for news of other events, and stay safe out there! Thanks as always for listening! peace, t Comments are closed.
