These are from my recent show in Rochester, NY.  It wasn’t the most confident performance I’ve ever put on, but it was nice to have a professional photographer in the audience Thanks again to Dan Stein

DEBUT ALBUM AVAILABLE NOW!

Friends, family, and new listeners,

I am pleased to announce that my debut album is now available at music.blakeredding.com.  The music is currently only available for download, though CDs will be for sale at my upcoming shows in Philadelphia and New York, and soon will be available via mail order.

THE STORY

This spring the cards fell in such a way that I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream: I recorded my first album of original music.  My friend Peter Borenstein traveled from NYC to visit me in Portland, OR and we spent the week laying down the tracks that make up this work.

These songs are dear to me.  They evoke memories of some of the best times of my life.  Lessons I’ve learned, loved ones, pain, heartache, joy and wonder.  I hope you (and many, many others) can find one or two songs here that you connect with, but in the end I am just proud to have seen this project through.

Please help me keep my dreams alive by making a financial contribution when you download this album.  Pay as you wish… but know that your contribution will help determine whether I can continue to devote my time to music, and whether this is the first of many works.

Thanks for peaking into my world,

Let me know what you think!
