I'M BACK!!!!

Hey friends,

I hope this blog finds you all well...I've been writing a new record and having a great time...sometimes I go through periods of time where I'm tired of talking about myself and it's preferable to just do and be...( oh, shit, Bresler's getting new age- ish on us, you say)

nah...just finding my way like always...

I'm playing my first show in over 6 months on Saturday, 6/28 at Rusty's on the Santa Monica Pier..it'll be fun and I'll be playing new songs from the new record..I think you'll like them..I'd love to see a whole bunch of you out there, and I'll be on stage by 9:30pm so get there early!!!!

It's been really touching to hear from so many of you these past few months, I'm glad we're still friends...I wrote y'all some songs...see you soon...

best,

joe

..it's nice to be back writing to y'all...I've been doing a lot of things lately, one of them being the audio show Prerecorded Friends, and many times I forget to write anything 'cause I end most days with a pretty empty brain...I'm working on it, friends, I'll be here a lot from now on...

The song "Stay For Christmas Day" is now available for download on this site, and I hope you enjoy it, it is not however, the beginning of "The Joe Bresler Christmas Album" or any silliness like that..I don't foresee any album covers where I'm sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine in a turtleneck sweater....(maybe holding a martini in a speedo, but that's for another time...)

The song, however, will be a sign of things to come in another way...the stripped down musical approach may very well be indicative of how the next record comes out...I think most of my songs are stronger when the lyrics and vocals are out front, and I'm very excited to record them with that mindset...

anyways, enjoy the song, enjoy the holidays, and expect a lot from me in 2008, 'cause I sure as hell do....

talk soon,

joe
