A MUSICAL LIFE PODCAST

Hugh Sung recently interviewed me on his podcast, A Musical Life. It not only helped promote Mary but he also gave me a tremendous shout out on our work together at AirTurn & A Musical Life. He is a brilliant musician, teacher and marketing professional. 

I can't thank Hugh Sung enough for giving me the opportunities to become a better marketeer and allow me to be creative in another field. I hope you enjoy the interview and take some time to listen to others. Gregory Alan Isakov is a favorite of mine.

Mary Releases April 1st & Double Door in Chicago

We've started a project that will release a new song every month for the next six months starting this Friday, April 1st withMary.

Introducing Mary

Hey Everyone, it's been too long. It's been too long since the last email, the last show, the last song. I'm planning on changing all of that this year.

I've been fortunate to spend some studio time in Cedar Rapids, IA with my friends and producers Dick Prall (www.dickiemusic.com) & Tim King (Crown Studios) We've started a project that will release a new song every month for the next six months starting this Friday, April 1st withMary. I wrote this song with Chris Webb last year.  A special thank you to Kristina Priceman for her 17 violins and Matt Dougherty for his artwork. I've learned a lot from listening and watching Prall and King produce each of these songs with ideas I would have never come up with on my own. I hope you enjoy these tunes as much as I do. 

VINLUAN SANSOM TAMKIN
