OCTALBUM FEST IS HERE!
Greetings and love to all!
I hope that you and your family have had a good start to the Fall season. The weather has certainly cooperated (here in the Northeast USA). Here’s to a great October!
Before I go on, let me first note the upcoming second anniversary of the horrific, inexcusable and unsupportable Hamas attack on Israeli citizens … which was then followed by an incredible, inexcusable, unsupportable and horrific two-year response by the State of Israel against the Palestinian people as well as Hamas.
It is my most sincere hope that by this time next year, the foundation of a lasting peace will have been established and the miseries will have come to an end (including the end of Hamas’ presence and activities in Gaza and the West Bank, and an end to Israeli imperialism in Gaza and the West Bank) .
I believe in a two-state solution, and acknowledge all of the challenges that come with that option. As an advocate for non-violent change, however, I hate hate and continue to hope beyond hope for peace and the reign (or rain) of love.
Speaking of hating hate, “I Hate Hate” is the title of one of my new songs that you will hear on my debut album, PREACHER MAN - VOL. 1. This 11-song work, bringing you the true “album experience”, will be available for only $4.50 per download pre-order starting on October 9th. (Who DOES that?) The download version of the full album will be available ONLY FROM MY WEBSITE starting on November 1st. Learn more here!
So, make sure that you and your friends have joined my mailing list to get the latest updates! And I hope to see you at one or more of the great events announced below.
(BTW — Special thanks go the album’s chief engineer, Mark Dann, for his incredible work, and to our other engineer, Kat Lewis, for her great work! More “thank yous” to come …)
Peace and love always!
Chris

If it’s Saturday night, it must be the Peoples’ Voice Cafe! Most Saturday nights between September and June you will find fans dedicated to quality lyrics and great music at Judson Memorial Church’s Assembly Hall (239 Thompson Street). As a proud member and supporter of PVC, I am happy to encourage you to check out the PVC website and attend (in-person or virtually)! The PVC encourages contributions, but pay what you can; no one is turned away (even on-line!)
