With an album project in the works there is a lot of “hurry up and wait” that goes on. So in between weekend gigs, practicing, and promoting, my creative juices are looking for an outlet. The blogging helps a bit, but frankly, sometimes I just don’t have anything to say! I want to write music. I want to create something, and I want to create something that you want to hear. When I started brainstorming on what that would look like, I couldn’t help but think of the holiday season that is fast approaching. Yes, this time of year has it’s downsides, but there’s something really wonderful about the twinkling lights that start sprouting up, the increase in hot chocolate consumption, and the general mood shift that happens all around us.
I’ll be writing 5 songs for this album and it will be available just at the time when you have to break out that winter coat. I’d like for you to help me with this album by giving me ideas as to what to write about. It could be anything at all. Like, maybe a song about buying no gifts this Christmas, or about shooting your eye out with a BB gun, or maybe about how you’re single again this Christmas and slightly bitter. It doesn’t even have to be about Christmas specifically. I could write a song about how winter is the best season or how you love the Campbell’s soup commercials where the snowman melts into a little boy. The point is, I am up for anything : ) I’ll be recording and producing everything myself, which means it will be all acoustic and perfect background music for cuddling up in front of the fire.
Shoot me a reply with your ideas, or come tell me in person at one of my shows coming up.
