It's been contest time the past few weeks. A couple of Sundays ago, I won a songwriter's shootout at the Bugle Boy in La Grange, tying for first place with Grace Pettis. It was a beauty and the beast kind of thing, and both of us advance to the finals on June 6. The next night, I was runner-up in a weekly contest at The Bakehouse on Manchaca Rd. This weekend, I entered a song in a contest for the Austin Convention and Visitor's Bureau - they're offering a $1000 prize for the best Austin theme song. I wrote a tune called "Austin Found" with Alton Rex, and we recorded a nice demo at Jeff Tveraas' studio in Oak Hill. If we make the top five, y'all will get a chance to listen and vote online. In the meantime, you can hear the newest song at one of the gigs below.
This month, I'm trying out Wednesday happy hours at Mesa Ranch, for a change of pace. My return to the New World Deli went so well that I'm playing another Friday this month, and may be starting a regular Friday night show there in May.
In other news, Chris Gage handed me the finished mixes for the album last week. Next steps are mastering, artwork, and finally, manufacturing. There's still time to pre-order and get thanked by name in the album credits, by clicking here. A big thanks to those of you who have supported this project already. I think you'll find the finished product worth the wait.
Peace through Music,
Steve
