New website and happenings!

So since I haven't updated my news since November of last year, I figured what the hell, we'll just update my entire site!!! So here it is folks, the newly redesigned joshpreston.com. Please click around and enjoy.

On the musical front, in December, we launched a new record label called Me and the Machine Records. I'm incredibly proud of this label and the artists that are represented on it. There are two new albums by Nick Shelton and Brad Sweitzer that were released on 2.6.07. Please take the time to check them out on the digital distribution site of your choice (iTunes, Napster, eMusic, Zune, etc.). Video from the release party will be up shortly so check back.

My next record entitled "Rooftop Silhouettes" will be available on May 1st. More news on that when we get a bit closer to the release date.
I'll be playing again on 2.22.07 w/ the Rat Pack Writers @ the Blue Bar in Nashville. Pop by if you're in the area.

Ok, more soon and as always, if I haven't sent you a friend request on myspace, please send me one if you're so inclined. Take care and I'll see you again soon.

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

All of it was recorded at home.
