My first album, a solo EP entitled If We Were, was released on September 30th through Rock Slinger Incorporated. You can get it on iTunes, or buy CD's from the rxlngr store. I'm working on the next one.
You can get Far Side of Town, the first song from the EP, for free from my website at http://arthurthefourth.com/far-side-of-town. It's got a Creative Commons by-nc license, so you can share it, remix it, sample it, or whatever else you want to do, as long it's noncommercial, and you credit me.
I heard you on eastvillageradio.com Jon Olivers show. I've been playing the far side of town on repeat absolutely love it! where can I find more of your music?
Thanks for the add! I found your music in a roundabout way--while watching youtube videos of In The Heights, I found videos of Shockwave, from which I found The (Valentine's) MIXTAPE, from which I found you singing La Da Da Dee. Long way of saying your music is beautiful and lovely on the ears. You've got a fan in Portland!
