Rittenhouse Square is a collection of 12 songs recorded between Jan. 2007 and June 2007. The songs are in the pop rock realm, with different influences (Beatles, XTC, Lindsey Buckingham, Michael Penn, U2, others) that are blended together. The songs are actually a diverse collection, with styles ranging from acoustic electric pop rock to folk rock to modern rock. At first I got concerned that the album was too diverse, but I always enjoyed diverse albums like the Beatles' White Album, so I figured why not?
The cover was designed by Bob Gross (www.bobgrossdesign.com) and myself. We found a really cool photo of Rittenhouse Square on Flikr taken by Jeff Green (www.jmgphotoblog.com). Go and check out Bob and Jeff's work!
You can also join my mailing list at Neall's Mailing List. I use this to keep all of my friends updated when a new song is released.
Or if you just want to shoot me an email, try nalcott@gmail.com. I love hearing from old friends.
Please check out the songs. Let me know what you think!
Thanks!

It was my pleasure to play "Rittenhouse Square" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler.com/2007/10/05/ims-066/.

Hey Neall! Thanks for the Req. I'm wanting to hear your tunes so bad, but I'm on dialup for the time, and the downloads aren't making it to me for some reason. By reading your influences, I'm sure I'll love your stuff. :) My story is a lot like yours, I think - I have a CD coming out on September 1st also! Who are you on HC? I feel like I should know, but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks again!
Thanks for the add Neall! These songs are great! I see some great guitars in your picture... I'll be over soon to play 'em with you!... lol! I'm a big Crowded House/Neil Finn fan myself... Cheers!!!
