greetings.
some of you may have noticed that i never posted the before promised two new rough mixes of songs from the upcoming album. that's the short of it. i'm not posting them. if you want the longer of it please continue...
the longer of it is that i am intrinsically opposed to rough mixes from the beginning. by nature, they are "rough." meaning, unfinished. not how they will be when they are finished. there are thousands upon thousands of decisions that are made between recording and mixing and then even more when mastering. i'm personally not comfortable putting out anything halfway or incomplete or substandard of what will be (which is another reason why i hate youtube with a passion). like a chef sending out meat partially cooked, asking you to taste it, then asking you to imagine how much better it will be when he takes it from you and cooks it a little more in the oven...i just couldn't do it.
so why did i ever say i would? simply put, for money. at the moment i am short $9,184 of the goal of covering the recording costs through preorders, and i thought if i put out a brief taste of what the album would be some more people would be inclined to preorder the album. but before i am broke, i am an artist. and when i heard the rough mixes i just couldn't allow you to hear what i know some of you will love soon enough. it went against my artistic integrity.
hence, you who care will have to wait a bit longer to hear what we are cooking. my apologies for getting ahead of myself and disappointing. let it be a comfort that i want to make beautiful art that touches hearers, and i'm very concerned about your deserved reception of it as i am in my presentation of it.
in the meantime, at the moment there are 58 more hours left for you to preorder and help fund the album. preorders end this friday september 2nd evening.you may do so here: http://www.indiegogo.com/bradleyhathaway
so much thanks and appreciation to those of you that have made donations, bought shirts, come to shows, follow along, tell friends, whatever. i love making art and i love that you love it. i can't wait for you to hear the new album when it's released. i think about you all the time, when i do my homework, when i drive the same arkansas roads everyday, when i get online, when i help foreign girls make copies at work, when i see the stars, and when i brush my teeth.
sincerely,
bradley
p.s. in october i will be hosting two private shows in my very own dome here in goshen, arkansas. only 25 people allowed at each show. wine and an assortment of goodies. you can even camp out on my land. next week i will announce the dates and more info but i figured i'd let you know so you can plan a nice saturday evening for october!

july august tour
greetings.
i will be touring the western united states in july/august. TX, NM, AZ, CA, OR, WA, ID, CO, KS are my intentions. if you would like to book a show email me at sirbradleyhathaway@gmail.com with your city/state in the subject. i'm looking primarily for house shows but am down for about anything anywhere. to have me at your house you need a living room to have around 40 people sitting on the floor or wherever, friends willing to pay $8, provide some snacks and drinks for guests, and i'd rather you be at least 18 as my audience is primarily older than high school as i've stopped being funny. i've not been out west for around 2 years now so i hope you are as excited as i am.
first week of august i will be recording my new album in talent, oregon, then heading home to finish school.

where in nm...albuquerque
where in az...phoenix and somewhere else

tourdates and not booklists
greetings.
starting friday march 18 i'll be doing a short run while i'm on my own spring break from school. on that saturday my lovely friend eric of the apprentice will be opening up.
these are chill, laid back shows. mostly at people's houses and if you don't know the hosts you are of course still invited. i don't know them anymore than you do and other people won't know them either so no worries. there will be no drunk people yacking from the bar, no strobe light distractions, just a quiet, nice atmosphere for me to tell you stories.
most of you know i'm back in college wrapping up a degree and have been touring very little. actually, none for about a year now. these shows in march will most likely be the only time i make it out to these areas for at least another year so if you want to see me while i still have such a youthful appearance try to make it out. as for future plans...
i plan on touring out west in july. recording a new full length album with my boys in august. attending college for a final semester in the fall. then releasing that new album in early 2012 and hitting the road if it seems good to do so.
...
also, i hope by now you've picked up last summer's ep "a thousand angry panthers" and more recently the digital single "a storm coming."
