My debut EP: “Freedom for Love”
I’ve been working on this little project since last summer and I am happy to announce that it is finally complete. I originally conceived of this title during my ongoing writing here at VN. The freedom-from/freedom-for distinction is, of course, an old hat in Catholic circles, but I found it very descriptive of music—especially jazz. The five tracks build a narrative of love songs I wrote during my final year and a half at Franciscan and end with a free, improvised piece that we built in the studio. All the music is original and recorded without click tracks, auto tune, and the other (usual) bells and whistles.
The CD is available at CD Baby, Wabash College bookstore, and at my performances (it will soon be on iTunes as well). As an independent artist, I need help getting the word out—and your support for the project would be most appreciated.
I am happy to answer any questions you might have in comments. Thanks!

I like the sound of the clips very much. You have a first-rate voice.
Congrats on the EP, Sam! Sounds great!
I too recently recorded and released a 5-song EP in one day (March 2, 2011). It’s called No Matter How Deep The Darkness, He Descends Deeper Still, and it’s available as a pay-what-you-want download here:

Thanks, David and congrats to you too, Michael—I’m headed to check out your project…
