Mike Vavrek, Singer/Songwriter, Johnstown, Pa -- Greetings dear friends!
"Buttons & Threads" has been out for almost a month now on iTunes, Amazon & various outlets and the feedback has been wonderful! I want to thank you all for this!
The commercial is now made to help in promoting the album which will feature the song "Down Here" in the background. Why "Down Here" you may ask? This was chosen by your input, which I'm honored to have.
The commercial is done, all I ask is please help me in placing the links anywhere you can! I'll be uploading it to my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/mikevavrek76) by Tuesday; or, you can type "Buttons & Threads" into the search engine and pull it up. Also, I'll be answering questions, talking about songs(new&old) and thinking out loud on YouTube.
Speaking of background, I'll be carrying with me fabric tiles for a backdrop. This is a jewel of the stage! All the names of fans/friends helping with spreading threads, free when you purchase any merchandise, or share $1 for the cause.
As the mailing list grows, I'd like to welcome new names, as well as encourage your help with spreading the thread! Reflections Studios is almost up and running(now equipped with ProTools) and the collaborations will begin for Reflections Foundation LLC!!! Stay tuned, much more news to follow (I'm biting my tongue.. )!
April will be showered with wonderful things, and a new winner announced for something FREE! Refer 5 folks to the mailing list and you automatically get a FREE download card(=1album)+ tile! (::)PEACE(::)
Side note: pleased to announce "Another Way" has been selected for a nomination in the LA Music Awards taking place this coming November! Got some great feedback and insight on a few tracks, which inspired more writing!!
News bits: recently completed a few interviews that I'll be sharing with you, and will be a part of a radio broadcast next month as a guest speaker for the IDMYGD weekly segment airing Monday nights between 7-8(EST) {link to online/terrestrial channel coming closer to the airtime date}.
This journey depends (a great deal!) on you; and, is my view that it should include you as well. So, as we go forward, more collaborations are on tap either musically, lyrically or both. I am a man of my word.
I take real joy in having you along for the ride insofar as bringing you along- this has been my dream come true, but means little without you.
Stay close my friends, we are only getting started! Help spread the thread!
(::)PEACE(::)
