Hi all!

So the new album, “The Grand Loss & Legacy”, was released on 5/15/15, and it’s been getting a really good response from press!   Was so pleased that the fine people at RELIX hosted an exclusive premiere on the day of the release.  To check it out, and listen to the full album go –> HERE
(*a reminder, the first single off the new album will be on the CD sampler in the Relix June 2015 issue..be on the lookout!!)

Was also floored to get a write up in the Huffington Post last week (i tell a “behind the song” of the first single, “That Girl Is Wrong For You)
To check that out go –> HERE (Scroll to very bottom)

We made it to Spring… lord hallelujah, WE MADE IT TO SPRING!! 🙂
And much like mother nature, the CG camp is quite aflutter these days, w/ many exciting things happening!

Firstly, words can’t even express how excited i am to share that my new record, “The Grand Loss & Legacy”, is finally finished and copies are being shipped to my home as i type this! It’s my first full length album, and it will be officially released on May 15th! This album, as you may know, was a LONG time coming, and I really put my heart and soul into it. I’m so excited for you all to hear it!!

We’ve already been getting some good reactions to the album from the tastemakers that be, and the first single, “That Girl Is Wrong For You” (release date 4/14/15), was just selected as the Grand Prize winner of the Relix magazine JamOFF for June 2015!  Yes, very exciting stuff!!!
