Smokin' Cola

Hello and happy Friday!

My latest, Brand New Day has been on Ampwall for a bit, but it hit the streaming services today. If you could look it up and give it a listen and a like, it would make my heart burst from happiness! Oh, and there’s a new shirt for it as well, featuring the artwork painted by my amazing daughter! You can buy it right from the song’s Ampwall page (and it includes a download of the song!).

I have new music on the way. Exciting news, actually, the lead single from my next EP has been mixed by the great Adam Whittaker. But there's a problem - now I need him to mix the next three, so they sound just as good. So rest assured anything you buy will be put back into the music, not a new diamond grill (how many does one person need, anyway?).

Have a fantastic weekend and find a little joy in this crazy world.

Peace,

Smokin'

I’ll keep this one short.

At long last, there is an official Smokin’ Cola website, a one-stop shop for all things Cola! With links to everywhere you can find Smokin’ Cola music, videos, and merch, plus this here blog and a photo gallery, it’s got a lot, but more on the way. Take a quick look-see and maybe sign up for the newsletter to stay abreast of new comings and goings.

Stuff like this - mixing on Withdrawal Symptoms, which I plan on making my first release of 2025, as well as the first track on my first album of 2025 (I guess, technically, my first album, period), is going swimmingly well! Today I spent a couple of hours really locking in the vocals and I’m really happy with how it’s turning out. It’s a catchy, rockin’, earworm (I hope). Can’t wait for y’all to hear it.

Lastly, this Friday, December 6, 2024, is Bandcamp Friday, a day when Bandcamp drastically reduces the cut they take from artist sales. If you want to support your favorite indie artist (or even me), it’s a great day to do it. I will be running some type of special deal and I hope to have the remix of Interstellar Improv on the site, but the part I personally love best is finding and buying music from new (to me) artists. I’ll be on the socials sharing my finds, so check me out on Bluesky, Facebook, or X (in that order these days) if you want to catch some groovy new tunes.
