Bruce Springsteen Forum

Good news and good morning!

As I've said before, I loved the full band experience and I was overwhelmed by your feedback, so my agent and I will start booking a short full band tour for early 2015 very soon. Which cities would you like us to play?

Pre-Order my new EP ‘ORPHAN KEYS’

Friends,
today is a really special day for me. I finished working as a teacher today and will now fully concentrate on my music for the next couple of years. If you fancy reading all about it, I will post a big blog entry here tomorrow morning.

However, to celebrate my new life, we start taking pre-orders for my EP “Orphan Keys” today! We will release the CD officially on Friday, July 31. The vinyl will be released later in August (hopefully).

Orphan Keys features seven tracks, all recorded live with piano and vocals only. Three songs were written especially for this EP, two are cover friends, and two are old friends that I decided to revisit.

The album was recorded at Elevate Studios in Hamburg and produced by the guitarist of The Black Pages, Rene Dlugosiewicz.
René and I decided to create an atmosphere as dark and as spooky as possible. Be prepared to put on your headphones and be roped into the songs!
It will be released through Gunner Records. The wonderful artwork was created by Kevin Winiker Photography.

Full Tracklist:
1. America (Simon & Garfunkel Cover)
2. Criminals & Baseball Stars
3. Thou Shalt Be Saved
4. Ruby’s Arms (Tom Waits Cover)
5. Breaking Waves
6. Close Your Eyes
7. Home

Thank you everyone who helped in the making of this record. I’m really proud of it, it’s something I had wanted to do for a long, long time. I dearly hope, you love it as much as I do.

Please spread the news, folks, tell your friends about it!
