Warm Holiday Thanks

December 17, 2024

Dear Friends,

Thanks for reading. It was an eventful year. It still is an eventful year. Time to take a breath and put wind in the sails for all our upcoming projects in 2025. I’m recording with Alloy in January for a New Trumpet Festival recording. We’re also planning on more vinyl releases, more podcasts and new artists coming up!

I’m also writing a book. A sort of memoir, philosophy, and narrative of making the music over these many years. It’ll take me a while. But hopefully towards the end of 2025.

Hope you will join us here at Greenleaf Music! Subscribers sustain what we do. It’s become a crucial part of survival for us independents. If you’ve ever considered subscribing, now’s the time. Thanks. We could really use the support. It means a lot.

My very best as we face and confront all the challenges ahead.

Dave
