Rooftop Silhouettes and other updates

Hey everybody and Happy Thanksgiving!!! After you’ve finished stuffing yourselves, click over to the Audio section and check out a few of the new tracks from my forthcoming album Rooftop Silhouettes. I’ll post another song or two in the coming days so check back. As for my last record, Between Memory and Mortality, it is now available on eMusic and the brand new Zune store. I spent a Sunday a few weeks back making an animation video out of Photoshop pictures and set in to an electronic track I created in Reason. It’s called Sunday Sketch and you can see it in my Videos section. If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to add me as a friend at myspace.com/joshprestonmusic. See-ya soon.

New Live Videos

Hey everybody. I have been recording a bunch of my more recent shows and I have hacked them up and posted a few new videos in the Videos section of this site. These new clips include some of the material that will be on the next record. I removed the older clips but they can still be found on youtube. I am about one and a half songs away from finishing the new record. It should be available in a few months. In the meantime, check out the Audio section to purchase Between Memory and Mortality from your favorite download store. There are more shows and music and things on the way. See-ya soon.

Capitalism and the Acoustic Guitar

Ladies and Gentlemen. Starting today, most of the civilized world has the ability to purchase my first album - Between Memory and Mortality - digitally! I must say, we live in exciting times! It is available on iTunes (Worldwide), Napster (US, CN, UK and GR) and Rhapsody and will be available on eMusic and Sony Connect in the coming weeks. The next album - Rooftop Silhouettes - is coming along swimmingly. 5 songs are in the can and others are on the way. I will have previews for you shortly.

I hope to see you at my show in Centennial Park in Nashville on 9.7.06 opening for Shakespeare in the Park. I will be starting promptly at 7pm. And will be drinking promptly at 8pm at Springwater. Haha. See-ya soon and please enjoy the new record. Until whenever.

Shows and Records

Hey Everybody!! I hope each of you are well. Just a quick note to say hello and let you know about some upcoming shows. I'll be playing this Thursday night at Springwater in Nashville. I should be on anywhere between the hours of 9pm and 2am the next day. It should be closer to 9 or 10. I'll also be at the Plowhaus Gallery in East Nashville performing for their My Space opening on 8.19.06. Lisa will be showing a few of her pieces there. It's going to be great. Nick Shelton and Brad Sweitzer will be performing as well. You've got to see these guys if you haven't already. More shows can be found on the Tour page.

Also, the final track-listing has been completed and you can now hear the album in all of it's final glory on the Audio page. And within the next few weeks, it will be available on iTunes Worldwide, Napster, Rhapsody, Sony Connect, eMusic and MusicNet. I will definitely be sending out an e-mail as soon as I learn that it is up on the aforementioned digital distribution outlets.

Last but certainly not least, I've begun recording a new album entitled Rooftop Silhouettes and I'm hoping to complete it by the end of September. Yeah, I know. No album for 6 years and then 2 in as many months!?!? You're as confused as I am. I'm just in a groove.
See-ya soon. Josh

Summer Happenings

Hey everybody. Thanks to those of you that made it out to my recent show. More of those to be announced shortly. I'm in the process of getting some live music out to the masses via your favorite digital download service so keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks. I guess that is it for now. Chat with you again soon.

Shows and stuff

Hey everybody. I just added a bunch of shows to the tour section so please swing over there and check them out. The next show will be at Springwater this Monday the 3rd at 9pm or so... As part of the new Videos section, the videos now upload instantly so you don't have to wait around. Also, I've added a video for the song "Stop" that we made back in 2003 after attending the anti-war march in NYC shortly before the war began. I'm sorry that it has been under wraps for all of these years but now feels like the right time to present it. Thanks and I look forward to seeing each of you very soon.

Website Relaunch

Click around and enjoy. More news coming soon.

Springwater Update

Hey everybody. I want to take a second to thank all of the folks that came out to Springwater and hung in there with me until 12:15am. It's been a while since I could say "Good Morning" from the stage. The Mulch Brothers, Nick Shelton, American Vinyl and The Wait opened the show. Each set was incredible. I captured the show on video and I hope to get it up on my site within a week or two. Not much else on the news front this post. I'm in the middle of moving so time is tight. Keep checking back for new shows and the like. Later.

02.14.06

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. Love and disappointment are in the air. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Nashville. I just wanted to take a second and remind folks that I'll be playing this Thursday night at Springwater with some fine, fine musician friends. In an update to the bill, The Mulch Brothers will be performing. They rock. Come and share the love. Or just bring whatever love you have left over after this heart-filled holiday.

This show will be taped as well and if all goes accordingly, my performance will be posted on this site in the coming days. New links and things coming soon. Hopefully some new music as well.

Until whenever.

02.06.06

Hey Everybody. There is a ton of new stuff to get to so I will dive right in.... Thanks to everyone that came out to Springwater on 1.18.06. For those of you that did not make it out, not to worry because every song performed that night has its OWN VIDEO!!!! Please check out the video section of my site to see these performances. They are pretty large files and I recommend that you only try to view them if you have got a high speed connection. Even w/ a fast connection they take a minute or two to load so please be patient. It was a really great show, I had a great time playing and I hope you enjoy it too. Here is the set list from that show:
UNION STREET
SIMPLER
TELL HER THIS (J. Currie)
SEE THEM FALL
CANNONBALL (D. Rice)
BLINDED (M. Barry)
WE ARE ALONE
MELODY
CAROLINA (B. Gibbard)

Speaking of Springwater, I will be performing there again with Nick Shelton and The Mulch Brothers on 2.16.06. If you are in town, please stop by. Speaking of Nick Shelton, I have spent the past few weekends w/ Nick and engineer/producer Daniel Scobby in Murfreesboro doing some guitar work on Nicks forthcoming album. I will definitely be providing updates about that release so please check back.

In the last bit of news, my myspace account name has changed so please update links and whatnot. It is now: www.myspace.com/joshprestonmusic.

That is about it for now. Take care and I hope to see you all again very soon.
