Sweet Home - Gesture of thought
Chillin' in the motherland of Denver and enjoyinga respite from the east coast chill....
Played a 30 min. set at the Mead St. Station in the Highlands region of Denver and had a blast showcasing some new tunes and tweaking the old originals to fit a solo vibe. Met Tony, who was the MC for the night, and he couldn't have been more chill...if you're in Denver make sure to visit the Station on 32 ave. and enjoy the local talent and solid bar.
Anyway, things are in the works for a new album, which will hopefully be out this fall. Lovin' kicking it with the band and the talents of EP on bass and Brophy on the kit. Chemistry is the magic word.....it's growing into something pretty substantial and I can't wait for all the J.E.Borgen fans to hear what's coming down the pipeline.
Spilling out my thoughts.....I've had such an overwhelmingly positive response to "outside" from everyone that it's really propelled me to keep forwarding the word out there and writing new material. I am at a frustrating point right now because I want to be able to share with so many and be able to voice this music on a more substantial level. Still looking for management and booking reps - right now it's all in house and I sure could use the extra push that a bigger industry player could provide. But the dream is still alive and I think there's an important growing and learning experience involved at this stage in the music. Grassroots, Grassroots, I am the grasshopper.... The fans are the ones that make the difference and if the music is there....the love will eventually fall into place. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have seen a show, signed the mailing list, sent emails, bought CDS, and/or just passed the word on to your groups of friends. You're the reason art exists on a real level.
If you're around Boston, NH, NYC in April come check out a show....the dates are posted on the site. Also, if you know of a place in your area that you think I should try to book, or if your school, or community would want J.E.Borgen to come jam, let me know that as well.......I am on a mission to spread the love.
As I like to remind myself from time to time - Keep enjoying the journey.
