In a blink of an eye - !! BANG !! It's August and the fun begins!
My birthday month started off with Randy Renaud of CHOM FM premiering the title track of the new CD "Original Sin" on his show, The Black Cat Alley. It was followed by a slew of emails asking where can the album or song be bought (or downloaded) so I've added a CD Baby thingy here on my website. The album was released on August 12 when we did our launch at the Bisto a Jojo, we had CDs on hand at the launch party, now you can order online right here on my website or Google "Carolyn Fe Blues Connection" and you can see all the online stores where the CD is sold. I also want to thank you all for the numerous birthday wishes. I am grateful, happy and so surprised that all you folks out there took the time to send me your good (and naughty) wishes... Tee Hee...
The band is getting ready for this hectic month and warming up for the CD Launch Party with radio, newspaper & online interviews. So far, here's what is on the schedule! I will update this page and the calendar as more events add up. In the meantime, check out the "Making Of Original Sin"
