Episode CXXIV: Seven Unsung Presidents

For the last five years, on and off, I have been working on a series of songs about unsung U.S. Presidents. Perhaps you remember one of those songs, Old Tippecanoe, featured on National Public Radio a few years ago.

I have continued to write and record in the intervening years, and am happy to report that I’m just about ready to release the finished product. The album will be called Seven Unsung Presidents, and I will use my musical pen name, Raise Jericho. So the album will be Seven Unsung Presidents, by Raise Jericho. Get excited!

My 30^th birthday present to myself will be to spend the requisite money to make this a professional-like product, including real-life CDs in real-life cases (maybe even shrink-wrap!), and digital availability on all the hip online places- iTunes, Amazon MP3, CDBaby, etc. My expected release date is 1/27/2014 (we’ll see whether or not I make it). I have set up a website at raisejericho.tumblr.com, where eventually there will be some fun things: sample tracks from the album, some videos, and info on album availability. Feel free to check it out.

Not excited yet? Here, watch my promotional video. If that doesn’t make you excited, I don’t know what will.
