NEW SONG: In Love With You (feat. Lamar Harris)

Thanks again to everyone who came out and supported at Cafe Soul. If you were there, you might've already bought your copy of "In Love With You." It was recorded as part of Lamar's upcoming album "The Death of Love." If you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, check the music player or go to my new MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/cjayconrodmusic.

Let me know what you think...

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: In The Spot light at Cafe Soul

I'm a bit geeked about this show, as it's always a nice-size crowd. I'm performing some new material too, so come on out. I hope to film this one too, so hopefully some new video postings will follow, but you come on out and show some love! Thanks in advance...

MUSIC PAGE UP ON MYSPACE NOW!

Yep, I finally did it. Still under a bit of construction, but "Something Good" and "Crazy" are in the music player. So, if you want to add them to your page or playlists, feel free. Be on the look-out for new music really soon....

I'll be performing a couple new originals. Get there on time because I'm opening. The cover is $10.

VIDEO JOURNAL: Entry #001 - The Purpose

Hey, I finally did it. Didn't like my first attempt, so I upped the ante on the production side. Giving a little insight on myself and the music to come.

Stay tuned. I have quite a few performance dates coming up in the next couple months. I'm excited!!!

It's FREE. As usual, we go everywhere we want to musically: House, Jazz, Soul, Gospel, whatever and a lot of it's just improvisation. Look forward to seeing you there.

I'll be performing at Webster University Tuesday, January 20, as part of the Inauguration Day Concert at 8:30pm in the University Center. Other acts performing that night include Saxifrage, Red Card Royale, and Illphonics. It should be a really a great show and I hope to see you there!
