The Most Under Functioning New Record Release Strategy Ever!
Hi
It's me, David Lowery. I just wanted to let you know that I am releasing a new album July 6th. I recorded it at home over the last few months on a $300 Tascam Portastudio. I did get Drew Vandenberg to mix it and Jason NeSmith to master it. So it sounds pretty good!
This is the first part of a multi-disc musical autobiography. 7 tracks clocking in at about 30 minutes. Artwork designed by Jeremy Fetzer.
Here is the important part. I only made 1000 copies. And I'm only selling them at Cracker and CVB shows starting July 6th. If there are any leftover after the Campout Aug 1-3 I will put the remainder online.
So yes that means I am having The Worlds Most Under Functioning Record Release Party at The Mill in Iowa City July 6th. Not that I don't like The Mill or Iowa City. But it is a college town in the middle of the summer and just after July 4th holiday. It is what it is.
You can listen to some short previews of the songs here
