Eric's House Of Ego

We were going to re-start our First Wednesday shows next week, but realized that we just don't have it in us.

We are zoomed out, and we are quarantined out, so we're going to take a bit more time off.

If you want to hear what we are doing, we are still uploading a new song every other week to our Patreon page, and we should have some inklings of a new side project soon (if you have seen any of the videos Eric has done on his FB page lately, you have an idea of what that is).

We will poke our heads into online circles and such, but maybe just to watch.

Bandcamp Friday we will once again have our 2 for 1 sale. Buy a CD or Digital Download and get one of equal or lesser value free. Please help us out, we are trying to get new gear so we can do better home recordings, saving up for that nice microphone we've had our eyes on.

We took some time off after the 52 Songs year, but we are ready to go again.

Lizzie and I just spent a couple of hours recording demos of three songs, so we're a few weeks ahead. There are both levels per song, and two different monthly pledges. Minimum is one dollar a song.

We are working on a CD with songs influenced by the Tarot. 22 songs, all based on the Major Arcana.

You will also get new demos of Callenwood songs, as we get those re-written.

And you might get songs that are part of a later project, you never know ('cause we don't).

All proceeds will go towards funding the upcoming CDs, and better gear for recording.

The first new song will go live October 11!

The 52 Songs Project has come to an end of sorts. All that is left is to record the CD of the best songs.

We have put it up to a vote on our Patreon page and they have spoken. 16 songs from the 52. Callenwood songs were not eligible, they will be on their own CD soon enough.

There were a couple of surprises here and there. A couple bits of silliness snuck in sideways. Some of these songs we have been doing live this year, some have not been heard outside of the Patreon page.

The CD will be mostly acoustic, but we do want to try to get a couple of the songs done with a full band. It depends on time and money. The plan is to get into the studio this month, but that may be delayed depending on Lizzie's hand. She cracked a bone a month or so ago and it's been slow to heal.

We will be taking pre-orders when we are close to being done with recording. Our Patrons have raised enough to pay for the studio time, but we will need more to press the CDs. We'll talk about that when the time comes.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the journey this year, from our Patrons to everyone who liked the new songs when we played them at shows. This has been incredible.

On Patreon this week, a new Callenwood song. You get to meet the villain of the piece, The Mayor Of Callen.

PLUS, last weeks song finally gets posted. There was a quick voice memo version for folks to listen to, now hear it with guitar too!

Blues From A Castle, in which a Prince tells us what he really wants!

We bought a new CD display rack. It holds a lot. Two faces of each of the full length CDs, one facing of each of the EPs. And I'm looking at this and thinking ... we've done a lot of music in the last 6 years.

And now we are writing a ridiculous amount of new music. 19 songs this year on our Patreon page. We're several songs into the next CD, Callenwood is coming along nicely. There are songs from this project that will probably never show up anywhere else, they don't fit Cheshire Moon. But we are going to come up with a good album worth of stuff on just random songs alone as well as all the Callenwood songs.

Two brand new albums, two more well on their way. A good amount of live shows coming up. At least one more serious road trip this year. The new songs are coming to life live.

This is the most exciting time of my creative life. I blame Lizzie!

Lizzie describes this one as ...

Gargoyles of New Orleans
This is what happens when no sleep + hoodoo lore + song prompt get together in Lizzie's head and have mugwart tea... I give you.... Gargoyles of New Orleans. Johnny Cash as a pagan minstrel. Enjoy!

A dollar a week gets you a brand new song every week on Patreon! Two dollars a week gets you that and a CD of the best songs professionally recorded at the end of the year!
