Hey Krazy Kats & Kittens!
This week The Informants are starting your weekend early -- you're gonna get your fill of the Juke Joint Boogie this THURSDAY night at Lincoln's Road House in Denver (starting at 9pm). So come on out and hear all of the killer new tunes that are on the upcoming CD (tentative release date of October 30th -- it's gettin' close) and hang out at one of Denver's coolest bars. Plan on having dinner too -- they have great bar food. See you there!
Thank you all for your support!

Debut CD Is "In The Can!"

You read that right -- all of the recording sessions for The Informants' debut CD are complete and all that is left to do is mixing and mastering. CD release events are being planned for late October/early November and the tentative release date for the CD is October 30th. Stay tuned for more details...
Thank You,

Hey, what's up? I'm just dropping a quick note to let you know that I just published my first book of poetry and it's now available to order through the internet or through any major bookstore. It's called Ordinary Poems for Extraordinary People in these Ordinary Times. Click Here for more information, a compilation of my readers' favorite poems of mine, and excerpts of various reviews of my book

I hope you don't mind me posting this comment. If you do, feel free to delete it. I'm just passionate about anything I do in life and I really want my book to do well. So I'd truly be honored if you got yourself or someone you know a copy.

I hope all's well with you. Stop by my page anytime and hit me up whenever. Peace.
