Recent press release:

Dear Friends and Music Lovers,

BAAMO (Bay Area Arts & Music Organization) is releasing a new CD called Tales of Lust and Longing, which showcases the work of various local artists. This is the 4^th in a series of compilations that BAAMO has released over the past few years. Typically, these CD’s have generated quite a buzz within our independent music community, as well as in other independent markets across the United States and abroad. BAAMO has worked very hard to gain valuable exposure to the talent in this area, and this year, I’ve had the good fortune to become one of the artists they‘re promoting. My song, “The Good Life,” will be featured on their new CD…track #15 to be exact. So I'm sending out this announcement in an effort to help raise awareness of Tales of Lust and Longing. I want to see it enjoy the same degree of success as its predecessors. Over the next few weeks, I’d like for all of you to tune in to WMNF 88.5 FM from time to time (especially the morning shows) and place your requests for my song or for any of the other fine works on this CD. Other local music programs, such as MTB (Music Tampa Bay) are viable options, too. Let them know you support the local music scene by asking them to play our music. Also, ask for the CD at your favorite music stores…see if they are carrying it…let them know that there is a demand for it. Spread the word…tell your friends about the CD…tell them to tell their friends about it. And next month, plan to attend the CD release party. It should be an awesome event. Most of the artists on the CD will be performing, and the admission price of $10 includes a copy of the CD. What a deal! Here's the information:

New World Brewery
1313 E 8th Ave in Ybor City
