Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that Civil Twilight is now available for purchase online. You can order a copy at http://www.cdbaby.com. As always, feel free to sample the tracks on my website, or at http://www.myspace.com/lancewhalen. I worked so hard on this album, and believe that it is such a great CD, that I am also offering a special give-away to CD Baby users. I will give away two free CDs to the first two people who leave reviews for the album. Leave a review, send me a message to let me know you left the review, and I'll send a copy of the CD in the mail to you. Nice and easy.

The Lexington CD Release party was fantastic. Natasha's loved the show, and I am hoping to get back there in the coming months. Kudos to my band for helping me make a memorable set, and thank you to Arthur Hatton for opening the show. I am planning to do more live shows--specifically in the Nashville area in the near future. However, I would also like to mention that I have been devising a plan for a tour that would bring me up to Connecticut. If you have any suggestions for venues or cities you would like me to play in, send me an email and I will be in touch with you shortly.

The Synapse Trap/Lance Whalen video for "Breathe Easy" is now online as well. I'd love for you to check it out, and you can do so on my webpage in the "Video" section. We had a lot of fun working with Jeremy Adams, Andrew House and C.K. Cates.

And finally, the household of frogs is doing well. Last night I captured an escapee in my kitchen. This little spring peeper somehow managed to escape his tank, and I believe has been surviving off of ants in the kitchen for a few days! We were happy to see he was in good health, and maybe a little sad to go back to the tank where no ant-buffet would be available to him.

Thanks again for your continued and well-appreciated support. Please be in touch about the CD giveaway and let me know if you have any questions!

Hello Everyone,

First of all: Happy Holidays. However you plan to celebrate this time of year, I wish you all the best of comfort and the brightest of wishes for a great 2010. This is the time of year when we contemplate the blessings in our life, and I feel blessed to have people who listen to my music and support my art. So, thank you very much for visiting this website, and taking interest in what I am doing.

2010 is going to start off with enormous excitement for me. Civil Twilight is now out and available. The CD looks absolutely incredible, and if you are into my music, I can't say it enough: this CD is awesome. John Simpson, my producer, did an absolutely incredible job helping me in the studio. I was also fortunate to have many gifted musicians help play on the album as well. The photography and layout of the CD looks just as fantastic, and I am very eager to get it out and played to everyone. You can sample the music on this webpage. If you want to order a CD, you can send a paypal payment of $10 to lance@lancewhalen.com. If you want to hang in there for MP3s, Civil Twilight will be available on CD Baby within a couple of weeks.

In addition to a new CD, a new music video will be out in January. It is a remix of "Breathe Easy" by Synapse Trap, and the video was directed by the very talented Jeremy Adams. The video, along with many pictures taken during its shooting, will be posted up here. The few who have been fortunate to see it have praised it, and I can't wait to share it with all of you.

Finally: if you are in the Lexington area, I will be having a CD release party at Natasha's on January 6th. I can't wait for this gig, since I have wanted to play here for ages. It's a great venue, and the show opens with the wonderful Arthur Hatton at 9:00. I will then play with a band, which includes Cassady Feasby on upright , Gabe Wright on various stringed instruments, Phil Osborne on drums, also Athur Hatton. I'd love for you to come out, give some support to us, and enjoy the amazing music I wish to share with you.

In the meanwhile, I am gearing up for a peaceful holiday in Arkansas. My family and I will be relaxing at Hidden Springs Bed & Breakfast for a couple of days, and I am looking forward to the escape to some beautiful scenery. I'm getting the frogs ready for vacation tonight and getting exciting about doing some ghost hunting at the famously haunted Crescent Hotel.

Have a wonderful holiday, and thank you so much for reading. Please stay in touch!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for coming to webpage. As you know, I am in the process of revamping it--it's going through a major evolution, so keep coming back to see new editions to the music, photo, video, and event areas.

In the meantime, lots of good news is happening for me right now, and I'd love for you to be a part of it.

Civil Twilight is now being pressed, and should be available within the next month. If you wish to pre-order it, you can send me a message at lance@lancewhalen.com. You can also listen to a few of the tracks from the album on this website, and download "Civil Twilight," in the meantime. I will keep you up to date about when the CD is available, and where it is. It sounds incredible, and the artwork looks awesome, so I am really excited to share this project with you.

I have a couple of shows lined up in Nashville:
-November 13th at Matty's Alley
-November 24th at The 5 Spot.
I would love support, and would love for you to hear all the new music at these gigs, so if you are in the area please come out! November 24th is looking to be an exciting gig-- I will be playing with the band to back me up. Karen Hogg, John Simpson, and Cassady Feasby are amazing musicians and it is an honor to be playing with them. Also: I am hoping to plan a tour once the new album is out, so if you have any suggestions for places in your neck of the woods where I could play, please let me know.

Thanks for checking out my website, and keep in touch by signing up on my mailing list.

All the best,
Lance
