To All My People,
I need your help! If you are a fan, a friend or just a regular ol’ patron of the arts, please read below:
As many of you know I used fan-funding in order to help complete my new record, “Lights On”. In the month since it’s release I’ve gotten national exposure on The Huffington Post, Good Morning America, and elsewhere. My agent and I decided that it was time to bring the music to the people and he has worked hard to book me a national tour. Unfortunately, some of the “anchor” dates (the shows that help pay the way for the less lucrative ones) have fallen through and now I’m left with the tough choice of either canceling the tour or doing it with the expectation of losing money -- and that’s really no choice at all!
Well, of course I am going to do the tour. There are cities that I’m dying to get back to like LA, San Fran and Seattle and also new places that I’ve never been before like St. Louis and Sandpoint, Idaho that I’m excited to finally play. Those that know me know that I’m a ninja when it comes to keeping things simple on the road. Still, in order to pay for the gas to drive the over 10,000 miles on this tour (yes, that is not an exaggeration), motel rooms, food, flights to Texas and to pay my hardworking band mates I still need to raise some money to ensure that I don’t come home after a month on the road totally destitute.
So, I’m offering a bundle of goodies that include a digital copy of “Brooklyn Session” complete with a bonus, unreleased version of Gold & Green that wasn’t on the cd as well as some .jpg’s of original, handwritten lyric sheets, chord charts, and some other collectibles.$5.00 gets you the goods. Anything more than that is really really appreciated and I’m pretty certain will pay huge Karmic dividends. best of all, for a limited time only, big contributions also come with a warm glow in your heart (batteries not included).

Also, I’m putting it out there, since I might be coming to your neck of the woods. If there’s something I can do for you that’s of value; personalized cd signing, vip status @ a show, insider secrets about the music industry, rap session about life, love & music, give me a holler and we’ll see if we can work something out.
Here is the rundown of where I’ll be (more dates are still being added. Want me to play in your town? – at your house!!!?? --- Let me know.)
