NEW SINGLE!

HEADS UP!

I’m releasing a digital-only single called Grinnin’ In Your Face in 3 DAYS on Black Friday (11/25/11), and here’s the best part: It’s FREE! That’s right; on the most capitalistic day of the year, I’m giving away music that I definitely paid money to make! You can thank me later.

This single features stripped-down acoustic and voice performances by yours truly of two blues tunes; the traditional “Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dyin’ Bed”, and Son House’s “Grinnin’ In Your Face”.

So, at the stroke of midnight this Friday, you can download the music in any high-res format of your choice for free from my personal Bandcamp page.

Grinnin’ In Your Face was recorded and mixed by Scott Solter at Baucom Road, and mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service. Art and design was championed by Nicole Blackburn.

It’s likely that I’ll press this single to 7” vinyl at some point down the road, but for now, enjoy the digital release. Please spread the word about this free download to everyone you know, and don’t say I never gave you anything! 



i’m still here, i promise.



i’ve started writing for a new record recently, and it’s looking like i’m going to be knee deep in working on that for a while. i take a long time to write, but will start integrating new material i’ve been into my sets this summer and fall. i’ll keep tossing out updates on this as new info surfaces.

along with this, i’ll be marrying in june (!), honeymooning to california, and working the day job that pays my bills.

expect to see some random one-off midwest shows throughout the summer, and perhaps a tour in late summer/early fall.

right now, i have one confirmed show at gabe’s in iowa city for may 28. check it!

i’ll also be releasing another single in the fall! for those of you who missed my new vinyl release, two poems, you can still order a digital or vinyl copy here!

be well,
jared



thank you!

i’d like to thank everyone who came out to my record store day show at ribbon records today. i greatly appreciate your support.
