Well, it's finally here, Happy New Year!!!

This can only mean one thing: the first step of this project has now come to a close. Which means this is the final of twelve volumes of EPs that I have been recording and producing since January. It's been a long road, and it's still amazing to me that I've pulled this off, often in the nick of time. From drummer problems, to the usual scheduling snafus, there was no shortage of hair pulling, late nites, and often maddening moments, but it was seemingly worth it. As it stands, I've created 24 original compositions, as well as 12 delightful acoustic covers.

I hope that you all have enjoyed the fruits of my labor, and I'd like to thank you all for bearing with me throughout the year as I struggled with my muse. Special thanks to my fiance, she probably suffered more than anyone from my madness...

Some months were definitely better than others, which is why I'm so proud to say this EP is one of the best, and I saved it for last. To those who listened to one or two of these EPs, thanks for the effort.

To those who have consistently listened to each one, my eternal thanks. I hope it showed a bit of growth throughout.

And to those who have continued to delete each email or message I've sent concerning this project, thanks for nothing, what did YOU do all year?

So where do we go from here you may ask, or maybe I'll just ask for you... Well, I've gathered a few musicians here and there to try and piece together a handful of these songs live on stage in the near future. While it's a few months from culmination, I have resolved this year to return to the stage, and if these EPs has proven anything, it's that I'm a man of my word.

Keep your eyes out for a couple cool surprises in the next week, including a Best of the Volumes edition, as well as a single click to download them all at once.

Thanks for listening...

Abe
