Finally feeling like I have a chance to calm down.
On Thursday I was finishing up my EP, which was a very hectic and stressful process but I did it. I released the EP on friday.
I had a little listening party at Heart & Sole on Coventry on Friday night. It was cool. It was basically just people coming and circulating through while my new music was playing through the store speakers. A fair amount of people came out to support, and everyone seemed to have a pretty good response to the music as well - it got over 50 downloads in the first 24 hours, which is solid given the fact that I am not very well known and the promotion of the project was limited.
The EP itself felt very rushed given the time constraints, however now that I've finished and released it, I'm beginning to feel more comfortable with it. I think it's a great step in my artistic growth and it was definitely necessary to release before I head out on tour.
Speaking of the tour... It starts tomorrow!!
The first show is Pittsburgh.
I'm sort of nervous because I feel like I couldn't quite get enough rehearsal time while I was working on the EP, but I know that it will be a great show. And today is fully dedicated to rehearsal and arranging set lists of which songs I'm performing.
Very excited in general.

ReplyDeleteAll of this sounds so exciting! I downloaded your EP and its really good. It must feel so good to be done with all of the busy work, and now you can relax more and have fun on tour. That is going to be so awesome. How many places are you playing? Well, I hope it all goes well. Don't be nervous, everybody will love you! See you later.
