Time and Tide CD coverTime and Tide is now officially released around the world. My label in Japan is Music Air. They have been incredibly supportive and the results of their outstanding promotional campaign has pushed my record to the forefront with television ads, major magazine coverage and radio play around the country.

In Scandinavia and Europe the campaign is rolling. This record has gained a great deal of critical praise in major publications and music websites . We are hoping to support the record with a tour later this year.

Here in the US plans are now coming together for the wide release of the record.

On June 10th Time and Tide is now available for download From Amazon.com or e-Music (iTunes coming shortly)

As always the record is available here on the site but additionally it will be available on CD Baby and in selected retail stores. A major push at targeted radio stations will be headed up by Matrix Promotions and Internet publicity will be handled by Ariel Publicity.com.
It is a very exciting time for all of us here. Thank you for your continuing support. Drop me a line and tell me what you think about Time and Tide.

Also, I am always checking out new venues to perform in. Please let me know if you have a great venue in your area,

Peace,

Robbie

A FINAL NOTE ...

Thank you so much to all of you who stop by at this site. Your continued support for my music is really important to me, especially during these tough times in the music industry. Many of you write in, asking "where are all the singer/songwriters that we loved so much"? The fact is that many of my contemporaries continue to record and perform, but the road is a rough one. For the most part, major labels have cut loose your favorites. Corporate-run radio has all but closed the playlists for artists like myself. Our struggle to keep up the flow of music is made possible only because of friends like you. Keep stopping by to see what I'm up to. Let me hear from you whenever you want to get in touch...Stay tuned ........ Robbie
