Friends,

My debut album, August Winter, is in the final phases of production. Due to a pending change in employer and relocation, I don’t believe I will be able to afford a physical release with this record or to release the remaining tracks on all the usual platforms (iTunes, Spotify, etc…). It is NOT about making money, but streaming services pay pretty much nothing and producing an entire record is expensive. Copyrights alone are over $150 per song.

That being said, I have a few ideas and would appreciate your input:

My plan is to release August Winter in its completed form on Bandcamp.com and my website, sjfamilomusic.com for around $7.00 U.S. I’ll have a PDF includeId with liner notes and some photos, and maybe a bonus track or two.

I have already started writing for the next record, tentatively themed “Lost Light.” I am very excited about the content and overall vibe for my sophomore effort and there could be some cool collaborations involved. When Lost Light comes out, I will also re-release August Winter as a dual, full platform release, and a physical product (most likely SD card with a jacket and hopefully limited vinyl pressing).

I’m curious what you think; especially everyone who has listened, purchased the first four singles, and supported me so far.

Thank you for listening!
