News: E-Newsletters

Hi All -- I've got exciting news!

First, the album Summertime In California, which I recorded with my old King Harvest band-mate Lee Simpson is finally available. It's a natural sounding, sparsely produced acoustic album -- very singer-sonwriterey and quite beautiful, I think. The record includes a few songs we wrote together the week we recorded it, and a old ones by each of us. Great picking and harmony singing, and a foot stomping good time. You can purchase a physical copy at CDBaby (http://www.cdbaby.com/johnmlees). Remember, Oversoul's Grow album is also available on CDBaby at http://www.cdbaby.com/oversoulmusic. For all you newfangled, digital-only folk, look for them at your favorite digital distributor (iTunes, Rhapsody, etc.) over the next few weeks.

Next, I'm excited to announce that Nat Keefe of Hot Buttered Rum has asked me to be a part of his annual Concert Carnival event. It's a wonderful, diverse night of entertainment from music to dance to circus performance, and is not to be missed. I'll be participating in a songwriter circle with two other fabulous writers -- Nicki Bluhm and Forest Sun -- as well as joining in some ensemble numbers.

Hope to see you all there. You can pick up a copy of the CD at the show, if you haven't gotten one already. Better yet, buy several -- great holiday gifts!

John
