Dear (Your Name Here)

The Artist at Work

The summer of ’06 saw Dear (Your Name Here) recording a debut album, “A Speck of White” under the supervision of producer Brian Johnson (Coldplay, John Mayer, Elvis Costello, Lifehouse). The following summer found Dear (Your Name Here) engaged in the artist’s first ever solo acoustic tour, a three-month excursion. Dear (Your Name Here) then evolved to a full touring band touring western Canada in the spring of 2008, promoting their most recent release entitled "A Speck of White", recorded with producer Mark Troyer (Kiros, Traced Image, Jay & the Lovebirds).




Poignancy clenches your emotions when your heart is caressed by the emotive acoustic pop of Dear (Your Name Here). This music paints with all the colors of the human heart’s spectrum, leaving a trail of emotional power that lingers in the air like the perfume of a beautiful women, leaving a tingling sensation inside that hints of bliss.

Emotions

Emotions are what music is all about, says Dear (Your Name Here). The art of writing good music is the art of shaping emotions through art. “Music, for me, can invoke a number of emotions.” Part of the emotional rush of music, according to this artist, is the release of pressure, the breath of catharsis that music brings. This is part of the package that Dear (Your Name Here) brings to its listeners. “Music is most often a release of the pressures of daily life.”

Empowerment

Music is also a form of personal empowerment, according to Dear (Your Name Here). For the artist, it is the strength of holding an audience in your sway, of touching the hearts of others and of finding a pathway for your feelings. “I often feel empowered by music, as I believe it allows me to voice my views and opinions with a shout rather than a whisper.” For the listener it is experiencing emotional intimacy with others through the sublime, mystic and distinct plane of musical energy, connecting with the artist and with fellow fans in a unique way. “Music somehow has a way of communicating things to people that they would not normally understand or even be exposed to. One of the goals of my music is to facilitate this type of communication to expand the intellectual horizons of my listeners.”

Hey Dear (Your Name Here), how's it going? First off, thank you for adding me as a friend.

I was wondering if you are on facebook or twitter. If you are, pass me your email address and I will add you on my end. Or even easier, add me at www.facebook.com/edhardyseattle and www.twitter.com/edhardyseattle.

If you are not, then no big deal.

Once again, thanks for adding me as a friend. Hopefully you are not working too hard, and playing harder.

Take it easy.

LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.
