Fresh Water in the Salton Sea
The New Album From
Drew Kennedy
Mid-November Update
Well, so far the response to Fresh Water In The Salton Sea has been overwhelming. Thanks to you, it’s already been the biggest album of my career… and it’s only a few weeks old. Music has been the way in which I have made my living for the better part of a decade, so believe me [...]
The Fresh Water Play-by-Play
It’s release day! There is a lot going on around this project, so I wanted to take a few minutes to explain everything to you piece by piece, just incase I’ve failed to already do so (which is highly likely, I might add). The Album: It’s my fifth, and I think it’s my best so [...]
“OK, I still don’t get this….”
“You’re just a musician. What is all of this extra stuff?” That’s a good question– it really is. I could write for hours explaining what I’m going for with all of this, but who has hours (especially hours to let me expound on egocentric reasoning and justification– blarg!), right? Here’s your explanation in video form. [...]
It’s A Celebration!
On Sunday, October 23rd we’re going to throw a little shindig. I’ve teamed up with my friends at Dry Comal Creek Vineyards and Winery in New Braunfels to put together an afternoon of music, wine, and good times to celebrate the release of my fifth album and my first novel, Fresh Water In The Salton [...]
what all of this stuff… is.
A short word about this whole album/novel project: I was driving to a New Years Eve show in Alpine, Texas, thinking about what I wanted to do with the record that I was about to record two weeks into 2011 (the album that is hopefully now bouncing off of your eardrums). As the last sun [...]
Chava’s Boot Shop
It’s a small room, but it’s well lit. In the corner a man is hunched over something he is holding between his legs. At first, I think he’s in pain—as if he is trying to press a throbbing hand between his knees to relieve the burden of its injury—but then he looks up at me [...]
It looks like rain…
but I know better. I’ll begin my update with the usual weather related banter, but this time I’ll give you two versions to use, depending on your geographical location: 1.) Boy, has it been dry, or what? 2.) Boy, has it been wet, or what? If you live close to where I live, you’re probably [...]
a quick update
Well hey there. I’m sitting on my couch with my studio monitors on, listening to the final mixes of the new album… and let me tell you, it sounds really, really good. Just thought I’d fill you in… you know, keep you updated and all… We’ll be rolling out a few things over the course [...]
Hey, What’s That Out There On The Horizon?
I know it’s kind of blurry right now– it’s hard to see things when they’re that far away… but out there, past where I’m pointing, just below the setting sun (also making it harder to see), and above that cloud of dust (hey McMurtry, are those buffalo or combines?)… do you see that? It kind [...]
