Hey guys!

Lots of things to talk about today so I will do my best to compact it all in one email.

We recorded a short record (EP) last week in Atlanta at our record label’s studio. This record is a compilation of new songs that I wrote on the road this past tour. It was very good for me to come back to writing and recording acoustic.

This EP launches today. It is an ONLINE SALE only record, which means it wont be available in physical copies. If there is a big demand later on for us to print it we will, but at this point we will only have it available through iTunes. ( Unless you are already planning on coming out to our show tonight ( Friday, Sept. 3rd) @ The Local 662 to get a physical handmade limited print, you’ll have to buy it online : [ ). ( also, along with the hand made EPs, I made a hand made book that has all the lyrics from the EP and my drawings that I will sell along side the EP. all handmade goods!)

Now, along with that, we recorded a music video for one of the songs off the record. This video is available on our website and on YouTube. You can watch the video here: http://gallery.me.com/therightnow#100219
and buy the record here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-bedroom-sessions-vol-2/id391020910

Please take some time and watch the video and if you like the featured song, buy our EP. Its 7 songs and its 7 of the most confusing song for me, but a good backlash and outburst that came out of all the troubles we had this summer.And acoustic is always a good way to go!

We leave next week on a long 4 month tour. We are doing a midwest/up north tour through December and in November will be meeting up with Mousefire on the road where we’ll be their tour support (opening act). They are an incredible band and I’ve got a real good feeling about this upcoming tour. We’re gonna do it right this time.

We got a new van that has a few break issues, but we’re waiting to hear what the mechanic will say. We are looking for a van bench seat or love seat couch to put in there for sitting, because the van is gutted out. If you have a van couch, or a love seat or anything that will fit in a van for sitting, hanging out in your garage collecting dust, we will put it to good use. Other than that, financially we are so unprepared to head out on the road. I am going to put up the donate button back on, so if you believe in what we’re doing and you’re in a position to give us $10, $20, $30 for gas, we are trying to raise a gas fund that will get us up and running for tour.

I know I ask you guys for things all the time, and I write these emails like I am writing a progress report to an aunt or uncle, or grandma and grandpa, but you fine people out there are realistically all that matter in my career. I do this all for you, and I can’t do it without you. My success is measured by how much you believe in me and how much you feel I can succeed.

So, with that said, if you are able, please help us out . Small donations help. We don’t need a whole lot, we just need enough. Its about $70 to fill the gas tank, so we are hoping to raise enough money to fill the gas tank for a week straight.
