Hey Guys!

Today I'm officially releasing "Aly's Song", the 8th track from my new self-titled album, and this month's free download! I wrote this song when I was 18 years old for a girl named *** (take a wild guess) who at the time played Snow White on Disney Cruise Line.

Here's your "Aly's Song": Free Download Link ...any issues with that link then CLICK HERE and just scroll to the last song.

Growing up I loved songs that mentioned girl's names. "All For Lena" by Billy Joel, "Little Jeanie" by Elton John, "Jamie's Cryin" by Van Halen ...etc. They (and the girls) were probably the biggest influence on the girls name songs that I've written like "Hey Julie", "Jade", and "Aly's Song". I've always written in the styles of my heros.

I recorded a guitar/vocal of myself playing "Aly's Song" in my hotel room in Macau (Where I'm performing at The Venetian this month). So after you download the studio recording of the new single go check out the Live performance by clicking HERE! :)

My First Major Label Recording

Hey Guys,

In July I'll be starting to base myself out of the Philippines part time. I've been doing a lot of shows around Asia, so I've decided I'd like to have a home base on that side of that world as well. Splitting my home base up between the US and the Philippines will enable me to play more shows for everyone. I was in the Philippines playing and meeting with labels three times last year and the islands are incredibly beautiful. At some point I'd like to organize a trip for my fans around other parts of the world to come visit for a week or two as a sort of "Rock'n Roll Cruise", but on land. It would be the trip of a lifetime!

Last week Filipino Acoustic/Pop star Nyoy Volante released his album on "Universal Music/MCA Records", and my song "So Hard To Let Go" is track #5! He's known worldwide as one of the pioneers of acoustic music in Asia, and I couldn't be happier with Nyoy's version. Yesterday I recorded a YouTube video of me singing "So Hard To Let Go" in my condo in Nashville.
