Record Deal with Cooking Vinyl
August 26, 2009
Talk about being a procrastinator.
I leave everything to the last minute. I must be addicted to the drama of, “will it all get done?” Today is definitely no exception.
I fly tonight for a whole new tour of Ireland and England. My suitcase isn’t even unpacked from the last trip yet. I haven’t seen my hometown friends or had proper catch-ups yet. I’m sitting in the passport agency in New York City waiting to have visa pages added to my passport, since I’ve run out of room. Yes, it will be a rush job.
But here’s my excuse: it’s been one hell of a summer! Everything I’ve been working so hard for is finally coming together.
First of all: I’ve signed a record deal! Cooking Vinyl – a well-respected UK label with a roster including the Prodigy, Billy Bragg, Ryan Adams, Blondie, and Echo and the Bunnymen – has licensed my album “What Does It Take.” The release date is Oct 12 in the British Isles; Europe and Australia are TBA. http://www.cookingvinyl.com
Secondly: Film Director Susan Cohn Rockefeller has posted a teaser of the documentary she is currently editing about my last tour to Iraq to play for the troops. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K54koz429zk
Thirdly: Cool shows in London and New York coming up! I recommend you buy your tickets in advance.

Love,
Nell
