Haviland (a side-project)
iTunes • Amazon
I’m very pleased to introduce to you: Haviland.
This is the side-project I alluded to last e-mail, which Mike Ayars and I have been producing. We’ve been working hard (ask my wife) to get this music to you. It’s been a challenge partly because we started the process in Denver, Colorado. But then Mike moved to Seattle, Washington. Then I moved to Nashville, Tennessee (Oh, by the way, I moved to Nashville, TN). So, as you well know, Seattle and Nashville aren’t exactly a spit’s distance apart.
I won’t say much more here other than I’m really proud. It’s a little three-song EP, a triplet, if you will, called An Introduction. And we hope that something resembling chapter 1 will be following soon.
Please let us know what you think. Please tell your friends. Please buy. Please write a review. Please be kind to your neighbor.
Visiting Nashville
I’ve been writing. Some of it’s for Aaron Espe stuff, whatever that means. Some of it’s for a project (do I dare say band?) I’ve started with Mike Ayars — longtime friend, great songwriter/guitarist/you-name-it-ist. If he sounds familiar, it might be because he was a member of (now disbanded) Meese. We’ve discovered that he and I work really well together. More on the release of that music later. But keep us in the back of your mind.
As for the Aaron Espe stuff. I’ve got lots of new material. Yes, I was putting out a song at a time, (sorry there were only two) but I’m realizing I prefer releasing full-length albums. They feel more like a well-rounded meal, when singles just seem like a chocolate bar. That said, I’m trying to figure out a way to make this new album happen. I’ll keep you posted…
Next show:
