Hey folks, Bud here, Janice in all her modesty would not mention this (even to family and friends) but I'm proud of her and am gonna do it anyway Her first album will be released July 8th and courtesy of Songtradr it will be available on iTunes/Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Pandora, Spotify and many more. The availability at Apple appeared today. Self promotion? Nope. Money? Hahahaha...streaming. I just want to recognize how far she has come from our traditional bluegrass days (hence the name of the project).

A huge thanks to floyd, Tom and Peter for productions, co-writes, vocal/instrumental tracks and tremendous support. And, of course, NONE of this would have happened w/o the good folks at PG Music!

Bud

PS If interested you can listen to it on SC All Over The Map
PPS We kicked it off with our current forum post "Hometown Refugee."

Bud, provide a link to your preferred streaming platform please (spotify, iTunes etc.) and I will stream it.

The more plays the better! Plus I would like to give it a listen from start to finish.

Congrats BTW!

iTunes will only offer previews I think...but if you are an Apple Music user you can play it all by just searching on her name. It should be on spotify by 07/08

Thanks Dave!

Bud

LONG OVERDUE!!!!

AND, YES! I AM SHOUTING!!!!

Congrats! I can't wait to give it a listen

Congratulations! That's so wonderful and exciting to hear!

Congrats!!! Love the cover art!

Only one thought came to mind when I read this...

What I thought is this your first ??.

Good luck I thought you would have by now had a few out there.

Congratulations! Now its just a matter of time before you're rich & famous...

We had a release in 2003 when Janice and I were a trio with Randy Howard. It actually charted in several countries selling well and we donated all proceeds to charities in honor of Randy who passed away at age 39. Of course the album did well mostly due to Randy's following (he was grammy nominated and played on some big selling projects).

So this is a just for fun release for Janice! And remembering Randy who first encouraged her to sing.

Bud



Hahaha! Yeah, we just made a downpayment on the mountain cabin...methinks this streaming stuff pays out by the pennies.

Seriously tough, this is exciting. I can't wait to hear it. Agreed on the great picture as well. It really catches your eye! Great job!

Bud and Janice, congratulations on your album release!

I find it exciting and inspirational each time a forum user announces a commercial release. The release announcement serves as confirmation that Band-in-a-Box can be a valid tool to use while making a commercial product when the tool is used by talented artists.

Congratulations and best of luck.

I hope it does very, very, very well.

Bob

Congratulations!

Kenny
