Coming Up Roses - Sacramento Remembers Elliott Smith is a tribute album with 15 of the finest renditions of Elliott's most adored songs. The idea for this compilation came about from musicians in the Sacramento scene raising money for the Elliott Smith Memorial Fund.
The song I contributed is Southern Belle. You can download Coming Up Roses - Sacramento Remembers Elliott Smith or Southern Belle on iTunes as a single song for ¢99 or buy all 15 tracks for $9.99. It is also available through cdbaby. com and rhapsody. com
All proceeds from the sale of this compilation will benefit Outside In a Portland, Oregon-based shelter serving homeless youth and low-income adults.
Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that I'm Still Alive and that I am in fact about to drop a brand new EP on the unsuspecting world! It is entitled MUTUAL and it is a complete work of love. I've been writing and recording, off and on, since April of last year and it's finally nearing completion.
I'm very excited to finally get to share it with everyone!
Thanks for listening and sticking around during these relatively quiet months. This year is going to be crazy!
My number one goal is to make my listeners happy. As you know this year my goal is to put 12 albums out so that I can capture a variety of listeners. Please let me know what you think of my album "Tung Teen" . Your opinions are appreciated. Please listen to it in my blog.
