Last week’s pre-CD release press “tour”..

In order to push a CD and a CD release, you must do some press. As you all know, I don’t have a label or a manager or anything like that… just me, my friends, and my social media fans. So, I got on the phone and the computer and started sending my CD to everyone I could think of. In the last 2 weeks I’ve done interviews with The Impaler on The Impaler Speaks, Patrick Davis of Mix 94.7, Loris Lowe of KLBJ’s Local Licks Live, Time Warner Cable’s Channel 8, YNN, live television morning show and FOX 7′s live morning show “Good Day Austin”. The result? A packed house at One 2 One on Saturday.

It was a GREAT CD Release Show at One 2 One Bar. Thanks to those of you who came out!

Last week was tremendously stressful, but the hard work paid off. I had appearances with Loris Lowe on KLBJ’s Local Licks Live, I was live on YNN early on Wednesday morning as the music spotlight…. and later that morning I was live on Fox 7′s Good Day Austin. It was a great experience.

There was a packed house on Saturday night. I don’t know the final numbers but I think somewhere around 200′ish…. I do know that the fire marshall made an appearance and that brings me great joy :)

My interview with The Impaler! Check it…

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce the world to Tom Meny, a brilliant young singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas. Meny is something special. I favorably compared him to Harry Nilsson – not just once, but twice – in the following interview, and he dodged the issue – deftly! – both times. OK, so he’s humble… can he sing? Can he sing?! Well, he attracted the attention of indie wunderkind Glen Hansard – you know, that amazing singer/songwriter who starred as himself in the autobiographical, and superb, film Once, and fronts the bands The Swell Season and The Frames – before he even recorded an album. And – more importantly, I think – he attracted the attention of The Impaler. (I mean… come on!)

It’s not always good news………

There’s A LOT of rejection in the music industry.  Whether it be auditions, submitting music for airplay or submitting to play festivals… being shut out is just sometimes part of the game.  It can be crushing… but, i’m starting to get a thicker skin.
