GW: a RadioIndy Gold Artist!
G-NUS! (5/5/2008) At long last....The first "official" demo recorded at GW's Poison Dart Studios can now be heard on the Downlow page . . . Spatula!, an all-new original song about, yes, a kitchen implement.
(4/29/2008) A very froggy bloggy...and news that GW's "Figuring Out the Six" instrumental track has been submitted for consideration by a documentary film production. Cross your fingers! (4/10/2008) Review of the Year....Maverick Magazine, a UK country music magazine, has rated One Band Man with 4½ out of 5 stars and describing it as Highly Recommended in a glowing review! As a result, GW has authorized his first-ever Ad Buy for that issue of Maverick Magazine! (4/3/2008) Exclusive One Band Man out-take...go to the DownLow to hear the delightful ragtimey ballad "Nothing to Lose." This track is a fingerpicker's delight, and was originally intended for inclusion on One Band Man. (Please note: the song is presented in rough-mix form--it never reached the mastering stage). Also new bloggy.
(3/27/2008) New bloggy, samples and purchase options...There are now three songs on the DownLow (the new track and one from each album), AND there's a new way to purchase both albums---as a digital download of MP3s and album art, directly from CDbaby! (3/19/2008) New bloggy....along with a new excerpt from GW's memoir, Notes of a Never Was. This piece recounts the tragic demise of GW's second guitar.

And while you're there, send some feedback!
(3/6/2008) New Bloggies! Includes details about the creation of GW's very own home studio: Poison Dart Recording Studios, and a brief account of last night's gig at Tyson's. See here! (2/26/2008) Gig Alert, March 5! Venue Correction!...GW will appear at Tyson's Tavernwith Gina Desimone and host Ken Gutbertlet. This will be a great warm-up for GW's appearance at SingerSongwriter Cape May on March 7th! (2/19/2008) Reviews still rolling in...a great review of One Band Man on the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange (FAME). It describes GW as a "remarkable
multi-instrumental musician as well as...a facile and versatile
vocalist," and the album as having "a seductive quality." (2/4/2008) All that glitters...Many thanks to RadioIndy.com, for naming GW a Gold Artist! From their announcement: "We screen thousands
of songs by indie artists and focus on musicianship, songwriting and recording quality
when determining Gold artist status. Congratulations!"....And in other news, One Band Man gets a thoughtful review in the UK webzine Americana UK.
