Ocean Grove in 2012

Tis the season to stop typing about myself and start using my hands to give.

I FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE!

This website, kickstarter.com, helps people with creative talent/vision get their projects funded so they can share them with the world! My friends and former tour mates, Ocean Grove, set a goal of $35,000 to fund the recording, mixing, mastering, etc. of their game-changing, stupefying record! Although I’m on a budget (for real), I am making room and pledging what I can this very moment. In my eyes, it’s a great seed sown, helping four guys achieve their dream! I’m wondering if you would be willing to help me help them? It takes <5 minutes.

*To clarify, I don’t get anything out of this; they don’t even know I’m asking you.*

But, what if every person who read this clicked here and gave a little bit of their resources? Please join me! Let’s surprise them with the ultimate Christmas/New Year’s gift!

Hear their music and follow their journey at www.oceangroveband.com or on Twitter @OceanGroveBand !!!

I hope your Christmas and holiday season is filled with giving and joyful celebration! May it set the tone for a wonderful 2012!

Blessings,

Alyson

Back to the Writing Sarcophagus

I don’t need space. I need silence and retreat. Inspiration hits me when there is no visual or audible distraction. For this reason, I tend to write music in very small rooms.

My friend, Brian (@BrianWertheim), laid down an acoustic pass of chords yesterday. I immediately had a melody for the verse and chorus, but I knew the words wouldn’t come until I entered the writing sarcophagus.

So, today I spent an hour in there. And I’m excited to say that the verse and chorus are penned.

I cannot wait to share this song with you. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever written. In the meantime, you can check out my journey as an artist. My EP “Beat The System” is on iTunes now! CLICK HERE!

That’s all!

Best,

Alyson

BEAT THE SYSTEM – EXCLUSIVE INFO FOR AS.COM

Exclusive info on “Beat The System” — out TUESDAY, AUG 23 on iTunes!

Official track list and song description:

1) “Sweet” — An infectious blend of syrupy sweet confession

2) “Lookin For Love” — A sassy proclamation of self-respect and confidence in perfect timing.

3) “Beat The System” — A hard-hitting, ambitious groove that won’t settle until justice is served and our voices are heard.

4) “Hello Again” — Inspired by Faith Hill, a ballad reeking of vulnerability and untold stories, with a new spin of electronic production.

5) “Almost Home (Bonus Track)” — My favorite song, unapologetically laced with honesty, hope, and a world-changing/death-defying message.

CHECK OUT BEAT THE SYSTEM ON iTUNES TUESDAY, AUG 23rd, 2011 (that’s TOMORROW)! And before you do anything else, spread the word to your friends!
