Just another update:) We have a couple shows coming up this month in October:
October 24, 2008 at 8pm-The Art Center for their Gallery of Horrors Costume Gala in Butler, PA. We will be doing a Halloween themed show that will be a little different from what those of you who have been to our shows may have seen. For more info visit the Concerts area on my myspace and/or The Art Center's website:
October 25 at 8pm- Arabica Coffeehouse in Canton, OH. We will be doing songs off of my debut album 'Poet.' There will be some use of props and costume pieces, but it will be broken down a little due to the venue. For location info, see the Concerts section of my myspace and/or visit the website:
I have uploaded some photos from the 2008 Poet Tour as well as some other photos onto my Road Journal along with some new entries. You can view it at the following link:
Thanks to Allan of 'Bridging Heaven and Earth,' I am getting back into the artform of painting, drawing, etc. My oil pastel "Portal: Passageway to Heaven" will be featured in the Bridging Heaven and Earth International Art Gallery. The original will be for sale on their website with 50% of the proceeds going to the Bridging Heaven and Earth Foundation. While original will be for sale there, I plan to put this work and other artwork that I do onto shirts, mugs, cards, etc (to have things other than band/music merch). In order to showcase some of my artwork, I have a page on Deviant Art. An image of my oil pastel "Portal" is on there now and more artwork will be uploaded as I recently finished a couple other pieces. You can view my artwork at the following link:
I will be posting a link to the original piece when it is up on the Bridging heaven and earth site.

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is well. We played a really good show at the Blue Violet Cafe and thank you to those who supported us by being there. We do plan to do a show there again in the future.
As for the links to the magazines that will be featuring an article (and how to obtain copies or see the articles starting in October) on the album, here they are:
Fireworks Magazine- http://www.myspace.com/nickyaor This magazine comes with the Catz n Claws Compilation CD where a song off of my debut album 'Poet' will be along with an article on the album.
There will be some more so stay tuned.
The music video 'Run Away and Hide' is completed but was facing some minor technicalities. Very minor though. We will be getting it out to you all ASAP:)

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry for being so scarce on here lately. I just recovered from the cold/sinus infection going around, plus my computer for some reason wasn't allowing me to log in here for a while. Hmmmm.
Anyway, just a quick update with some news.
First, don't forget our show tomorrow night at the Blue Violet Cafe in Rochester, PA. The Blue Violet Cafe is located on Brighton and the show starts at 8pm and it is $4.00 at the door. Of course, we will have copies of the album along with the Halloween Treats Special:) For more info on location, see my concert schedule on the myspace page and or visit:
I am also happy to announce some recent chart placemets. Numberonemusic.com once again had me in their top 5 Ambient Artists Charts. Only this time instead of being at number 5 like the other times, I was bumped up to number 4. The Persephone's Netherrealm Remix of 'Ghost' peaked at number 3 on IAC.com's Ambient Music Charts. One week into being entered into the playlists on Artistopia Radio, 'Scarborough Fair' was # 40 in their top 40 World Music Chart. Hopefully the song will continue to climb:)
October will bring many new articles on the album 'Poet.' Check for an awesome review in Twisted Dreams Magazine, an article in Fireworks Magazine in the UK (plus the remix of 'Ghost' appearing on the magazine's Catz n Claws comp CD), a nice review in the current issue of Outcast Fanzine in Greece as well as a couple others.
October will also bring more airplay. I'm set to have music from my album played on a MySpace Podcast on October 6 and on Rough Edge Radio's Podshow on October 1.
I will post the links to the podshows and magazines (and how to obtain them) tomorrow morning. Now, I'm going to take a nap and get things ready for tomorrow's show. With recovering from being sick and having to catch up on everything, I'm pretty tired right now:)
I am also sorry to hear of Bernie Mac's passing. He and his talent will be greatly missed. It seems we have lost alot of awesome and talented people in the passed couple years: Steve Irwin, Heath Ledger, Kevin DuBrow (of Quiet Riot), Rick James, Luciano Pavoratti to only name a few. Each where extremely talented individuals and I hope only the better for them on the other side.
