Retail outlets carrying “Mons”

Well, most of my school stuff is done so hopefully I can soon concentrate on my music again. I’ve been working on a number of new songs that I’m excited to start recording! Probably get to that sometime in January, as I’ll be in Vancouver over Christmas.

The truly exciting news is that my cd is now available at retail outlets all throughout Winnipeg. I know, it doesn’t help those of you who live in other (warmer) parts of the world, but you guys can still buy via the website here! If you do live in Winnipeg and don’t want to purchase through the website, you can now buy my cd at the following stores:

McNally Robinson (Polo and Grant Park locations)
The Light Bookstore (on Pembina)
Indigo Bookstore (Kenaston)
CD Plus (Polo)
Into The Music
Music Trader
Prairie Sky Books
Mandarin International (at The Forks – Johnston Terminal)
Chapters (in January)

Typically it’s being stocked in the Easy Listening or Local Music sections, though I did notice that McNally had put a few into Pop (?!?). I don’t make as much on these consignment sales, but it does help to get the word out about my music, so if you’re looking for a cd, do go down to one of these places and pick it up! They make excellent christmas gifts.

Also, look for the return of the MSMOTDs in the new year.

Have a happy holiday!

Updates and CD Signing/Performance

Hey guys, just a quick update. The CD has been selling really well, which is fantastic! Thanks so much to everyone who’s given me such positive feedback on the album. The original printing sold out in 2 days, and the latest shipment of another 1000 cds is coming in today.

Besides here on my website, the cds are starting to be available at retail outlets in Winnipeg and hopefully eventually through Canada and the USA. I’m working on several distribution options. I’ll be selling the MP3s from here as well as on iTunes etc. In Winnipeg, you can now purchase the cd at The Light bookstore (Unit 17, 2077 Pembina, Winnipeg) and hopefully soon at Chapters bookstores. I’ll update as more places start carrying the cd.

I will be at a Christmas Craft Sale on Saturday the 28th of November selling/signing my cd and doing a few performances. Here’s a bit more information about the sale (it’s at the Winnipeg Centre Vineyard on Main). Stop by if you have a few minutes and say hello, pick up a cd and check out the other 50 artists and artisans who will be displaying and selling their fantastic work as well.

For more timely updates and information, follow me on twitter, or become a fan on facebook.

Hope to see you all there,
