Hello Everyone,
Its already February & I realized haven't written in my blog in a while? The 1st thing I want to do is thank my dear friend Lyndsay Irvine who created the cover art for my Upcoming CD entitled "High,Dirty & Low" there are no words to describe how grateful I am to her & for all her support, all the way from Scotland too!:)
I have spent the last month working on all the small,(well big), but small details that go into putting a CD together for release & on top of that rehearsing & auditioning Musicians for this years shows & tour. Very tedious stuff but also very exciting at the same time. Can't explain but can only compare to anything you might put your heart & soul into that you all may do. It's hard work but in the end very gratifying.
I know it may seem funny but as an Independent Artist or an Artist in General, there are a lot of sacrifices & things you have to do on a daily basis to at least make yourself feel successful & to try & put the best out there for your fans,which is really why I work so hard. There's Diet, exercise, Vocal practice,songwriting, rehearsals, promoting, pictures, phone calls, emails, radio, mailing, websites, etc...& so much more, 7 days a week. And you have to stay in control & on top of it all or you lose it all! (especially me being a control freak!LOL). Now I'm not complaining at all. I choose this. I love & live for this.I wouldn't have it any other way. In the end if just one of you say you enjoy the songs & the shows I put out, then for me it's all worth it. And all of you have given me an amazing & tremendous response & support so far! I again Thank you from the bottom of my very heart & soul.
Currently I'm in Orlando, FL checking on the production of my CD & again Auditioning more musicians. It's truly a pleasure to meet such talented people. I'm very picky though & I need to gel with who I play with. Wonder if Mickey plays an instrument?I know he can hit the High Notes!LOL!
Well People! Hope your month of Feb. Rocks! Make sure you do something sweet for your Valentines this year!I will keep you updated as to the exact date of the CD release! Probably do a giveaway contest, stay tuned & you maybe one of the lucky ones! For now, Peace, Luv & 4 Gods Sake, ROCK 'N' ROLL!
Luv,
Jack Stevens
