"Snow Globe" Available Now at Amazon

My new holiday single "Snow Globe" is now officially out and you can buy it at Amazon. Other stores to follow.

"Snow Globe" Release in Progress

I uploaded my new holiday single "Snow Globe" to DistroKid this morning. I was really worried about the artwork because the image was smaller than DistroKid's recommended "optimal" 3000 by 3000. However, it breezed right through their approval process. Now I'm holding my breath waiting to see if the audio processes OK. I plan to update status here and on my Twitter feed, so please stay tuned.

While we're waiting, you can check out a teaser preview on YouTube.

What's Happening: Week of November 13, 2017

I was under the weather this week, and didn't get to do all the stuff I had planned. Plus, I was working on some non-musical things (like life). However, I did get a few things accomplished and am excited to be doing more this week.

In case you missed it, please take the opportunity to preview my upcoming winter holiday single "Snow Globe." I plan to release it this Friday (November 17, 2017) through DistroKid. Here's a :60 sneak peek.

In keeping with featuring holiday stock music on my website and Twitter profile my pick this week is "Deck The Halls (Brass Arrangement)." It's a jolly arrangement for brass ensemble with sleigh bells (naturally) and great to give a happy traditional Christmas feeling to holiday ads and family videos. It's also available in a sixty-second (:60) edit version.

Even as Christmas is approaching, so is the new year. Among other things, that means Valentine's Day. Accordingly, I have two new tracks in process to add to my romantic music collection. One of the two is a dreamy RnB-influenced slow dance kind of track with lots of ambiance and synth bell accents. The other is, well . . . different. It's a bubbly, bouncy kind of track that'll make you think of cheezy 1960s pop. I had a lot of fun doing it, and hope someone can find a use for it in their romantic story or ad.

And that's it for me. I hope you'll stay in the loop as I prepare to release "Snow Globe" later this week and that'll you'll check it out as soon as it's available on your favorite downloading or streaming platform.

Preview: "Snow Globe"

The preview for my upcoming holiday single "Snow Globe" is now live on YouTube!

I'm still shooting to release "Snow Globe" next Friday (November 17, 2017).

What's Happening: Week of November 6, 2017

This will be a quick update, as I have a lot of things going at the moment that are not musically related.

I'll be uploading a teaser video for my planned holiday single "Snow Globe" in the middle to later part of next week. I'll let everyone know through this blog when it's up. I plan to upload the actual single on November 17, and will advise here and via Twitter/Google+ when it's ready to go.

For my featured stock music track, I'm featuring my old stalwart "Holiday Hustle Bustle." It has a great retro feel for holiday videos and ads, and is also available in a looped version for continuous background play. I hope you'll check it out.

Finally, I'm beginning to think about planning for 2018. I plan to analyze my stock music business over the holidays with an eye toward making changes. One of the things I'm seriously considering is going "all in" on music for podcasting. Stay tuned for further updates.

And that is the quick and dirty. If you're here in the States, I hope you turned your clocks back Saturday night and enjoyed that extra hour of shut eye.
