Fort Collins, CO

I am alive again! I had no idea how numb I had become since returning from the MN and the road travels that occupied a solid portion of my summer. I just returned from Fort Collins where I played a show with my good friends The Kirkpatrick Project. I also had a great opportunity to play a live 1 hour long radio show. The time away was good for my soul. On the road for music purposes = peace. I dont know how to explain it other than: It is where I am ME the most. The real Cory. I love my home and I love being home but there is something about being away playing music for people who have never heard of me before. I could go on and on about the show I played and the radio station program, the amazing vibe that came from both and how I hope our fans treat The Kirkpatrick boys as amazingly as their crew treated myself... but ill stop here and only give one description that may best illustrate how it is that i am me one the road:

Denver Airport returning home: There I am a good 2.5 hours before my flight departs waiting at the gate. I gots a book, an ipod, people watching and a guitar for "keep me busy" options. Im really stoking on the guitar idea which really isnt like me to pick up my guitar and play in the middle of a public place, but alas im jonesin' to play. So I go off into the corner quite a ways away from everyone and pull out my guitar...playing, then singing. People start gravitating towards the musical pull... next thing I know I've got people surrounding me and little children dancing. I'm laughing, playing, playing and laughing. Music its not just for me its for us. All of us... A lesson learned. Happiness had.

I love my life.

Pre-Album Release Updates and Frustration

So I bummed. Im excited for the album to release and am most definitely excited for the possibilities that lie ahead but man... releasing an album correctly is alot of work (not too mention cost). We are officially less than one month from the release date:

December 5th Velour Live Music Gallery 8pm Yall. Joining us will be our good friends from Denver, The Kirkpatrick Project (www.thekirkpatrickproject.com) and Jeff Stone will be playing an early opening set that begins at 8. Typically doors open at 8 and music starts at 830 but we're going to try something different and have Jeff playing as soon as the doors open to get all the ears into listening mode from the begining...

I really wonder if I have what it will take to release this sucker properly...
We've had some key help from some good friends along the way. I would like to thank Chad, Matt, Clarke, Jeff, Joe, Angie and Jim in particular.

Album status:
Recording and Mixing -- Done
Mastering -- Nearly Done w/ a quick fix still pending
Design -- In the works

So we are on schedule to release the album on December 5th but its gonna be close which is funny because originally we were thinking if we rushed we could get it done late Oct early Nov...good thing we were conservative and made plans to release in December.

If any of yous peoples want to help with show promotion etc let me know we can definitely use the help. You can email me at corymonmusic@gmail.com

loves and tickles
