Hello Friends-

I had a fantastic time in Des Moines through the last week and am now prepared to make some groundbreaking announcements. I will be announcing one project today, another tomorrow, and the last one on Friday. Be sure to check my blog at www.maxwellmanmusic.com/blog for announcements past this week.

The first is what I may be most excited about. Over the course of the next two years, pianist Nick Rieser, Capp Audio Productions and I are teaming up to produce a songbook series profiling some of the most influential American Songbook composers of all time. Each chosen composer will be highlighted on their own album, featuring several of their most defining works. The project will include 20 albums in total, all to be released throughout 2012 and 2013 EXCLUSIVELY to Wellman Music SUBSCRIBERS.

Yes, I said subscribers. Starting this December, you will have the opportunity to become ‘members’ of our musical team in a very cool way. In addition to receiving the songbook albums FREE of charge, you will have access to EXTREMELY discounted tickets throughout the year, pre-concert lectures from myself and my collaborating composers, and much more.

Your commitment will only enable my groups to provide more concerts and programs throughout the year by providing us with the operating budget to do so.

This new opportunity will first become available to those attending this year’s ‘Home for the Holidays’ concert (due to be announced tomorrow). I will be releasing more details as that weekend draws near, but I would like to thank my wonderful collaborators Nick Rieser and Steve Capp (www.cappaudioproductions.com) for their involvement.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow and Friday for more events taking place in the near future!
