Halloween update!

Hey guys,

As many of you probably already know, I'm out here in California recording some new material and playing a few intimate solo acoustic shows. I've been receiving a lot of emails lately from fans asking if I'm okay and away from all of the horrendous fires that have been going on throughout the state, and I just want to assure everyone that I am, indeed, alive and well. Thousands of less fortunate Californians, however, have lost their homes and everything they own in the blaze. I think it's very important that we all band together and try to help all the poor people who have been affected by this disaster, so please visit the American Red Cross website to find out how you can do your part. I'm also working on a few things myself for all those who are in need now...I will have an update on that soon.

In other news, I've been keeping very busy, and I've really been enjoying my time here in LA, playing such historic places as Pig N Whistle, Cat Club and Rainbow Room, and recording with some of the best in the biz (Luigie Gonzalez, Cristian Delano). I will have my next track, "Good Enough" up soon, so please keep checking back.

Also, don't forget to vote for me for the Blender Battle of the Bands contest. We're in the finals now, and you're the only ones who can help us score a homerun! If you haven't voted yet, you have until November 14, and you can vote up to once a week! Just click here to cast your vote!

Thanks so much to everyone who's come to support me at all my shows. If you haven't seen me in action yet , you still have some more opportunities. Come out and say hi. I don't bite...hard!

Oct 31 - Cat Club on the Sunset Strip at 7 p.m.
Nov 8 - Rainbow Room on the Sunset Strip at 8:30 p.m.
Nov 10 - Cafe Europe on Santa Monica Blvd at 9 p.m.

Hope you're all doing well. Thank you all very much for continuing to support me. Your kindness does not go unappreciated or unrecognized! Keep it RAWKIN'!

Peace,
AC

In the studio...

Wassap rawkerz!

How's everyone doing? This week's been incredibly busy and eventful. Right now, I'm sitting in the studio waiting to lay down some vocals on the new song I just wrote with my producer, Luigie Gonzalez. It's called "Good Enough." Don't be fooled by the the title though--it's really GREAT! Haha! It sounds like En Vogue or Pink as recorded by Trent Reznor if you can believe it...CRAZY!

This song in particular has been a lot of fun to produce because we blended a lot of different musical genres together. Because Luigie's forte is dancehall / electronica, we've definitely got a 90's-era Chemical Brothers / Dust Brothers vibe going on in the background. And, since I've been listening to a lot of old school rap and urban-edged pop (a la Justin Timberlake) lately, my vocal lines and melodies are very staccato and rhythmic. I think I've really opened up musically speaking since I've been here. I think it's only going to get better from here on out...
Earlier this week, I visited the world famous Rainbow Room and performed acoustically upstairs. It was really nice to do that since I've been locked away in one studio or another for so many weeks now. Not like that's all that bad either...I was at Chalice again the other day and ran into Rob Zombie. I wonder if him and The Spice Girls are teaming up on a record...hey, weirder things have happened...

Well, I gotta go do my thing now, so keep checking back. I'll have some more info regarding my Australia / New Zealand press tour very soon. KEEP IT RAWK!

Peace,

AC
