It’s almost here. Next week, the CDs of my debut album Vol. I: Battle Cry are being delivered, and I will hold my first album in my hands! Yee haw people! Yee haw.

And I am very impressed by my colleagues who helped make the CD packaging – graphic and web designer Raúl Peña who designed the packaging, and Meredith Zielke who took the stunning photographs. I love to work with them, I admire their outstanding artistic instinct, and I’d recommend them to the world twice over. Thank you for your magic Raúl and Mere. Look at what we created together!

Here are some updates about the CD release:

~ Copies of Vol: I: Battle Cry will be available for purchase online in approx. a month. Lots of logistics to take care of for the web distribution… if you are attending either the Sept. 24th performance in Washington, D.C. or the Oct. 9th performance in Detroit, MI, CDs will be available for purchase then.

~ More songs will be available for listening soon. Very soon. If you have not listened to the available songs, please head to the Music Section.

~ Please sign up for my newsletter for official updates on when the music is available, on limited edition music and merch, special giveaways, and performances near you. You can sign up in the box that is at the top right corner of the web page.

~ If you would like a performance in your town, let’s pow-wow and/or discuss. [christen@itsnotaviolin.com]
