Solo Stages For Sale Online!

Hey, Friends!

We just wrapped recording on the new album, which is tentatively set for a fall release (stay tuned!) After months of hard work and the dedication of some of Austin's best, we're going to have an album that is better than I had ever imagined. It will be worth the wait! In show news, I'll be going loca-vore and playing at the Austin Farmers' Market at the Triangle this Wednesday from 6:30-9pm and at San Antone's best venue (according the the San Antonio Express News), Sam's Burger Joint, this Saturday. Ask your SA friends to join us! Hope to see you all soon, pT

Hey, Friends!

Check out a brand-new video from a recent acoustic duo performance in San Antonio of my new song, "You Belong in Pearls Tonight," through the VIDEOS link below! The studio version of this song, featuring Lloyd Maines, Richard Bowden, and another special guest (TBA!) will appear on the new album coming out this Fall. Solo Stages is already getting some great press. Please click HERE for a brand-new review from the March issue of The Texas Music Times. Also, stay tuned for show and tour updates, including stops during my upcoming October tour in the UK.

We have a new web presence that we're still working on launching, but please take a moment to look around. The full site will be launched later this month, but you can now purchase Solo Stages through our online store below!

ATTENTION: Thanks to those of you who have already purchased Solo Stages! It's been brought to our attention that there may be a manufacturer's defect on a small number of the CDs (this has now been corrected). If you have one of these, please read the letter of apology from the manufacturer (at the bottom of this blog) with information on how they will send you a replacement copy asap. I'm very sorry that they made this error and for your inconvenience.

Earlier this month, we had we had a great time taking the stage with Mindy Smith, Austin Collins, and BettySoo at the Growth in Grace Music Conference, which was held at the stunning Wildflower Center Auditorium. Thanks to everyone involved for helping make it an incredible night.

We enjoyed seeing many of you at the Cactus Cafe for the Solo Stages release show. I had a great time performing with two excellent musicians, Adam Sultan and Tom Benton.

We also really appreciated KUT's and John Aielli's promotion on his award-winning radio program Eklektikos. If you'd like to listen to my half hour release day set, featuring four live songs, it's streaming HERE.

Thanks for your support,

If you have experienced this problem, please feel free to contact me at mike@affordablesound.com, or at 512-459-5253 ext. 112. We will happily replace the erroneous product you received.
