New Band!

neeleybridges — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 04:54:26 +0000

For the past year or so I’ve been working with my new band, Walking for Pennies- it’s a collaboration between myself and fellow singer/songwriter Andy Jobe, and all humility aside, it’s really fantastic. Though I still write alone on occasion, pretty much all of my energy these days goes toward our new project so if you’d like to keep up with me I’d suggest keeping up with Walking for Pennies.
We currently have 2 tracks for sale in the form of “dropcards”- you can email me at info@neeleybridges.com or walkingforpennies@gmail.com for more information about our demo-
Visit our Myspace or ReverbNation page to hear the latest recordings and show schedules, and keep an eye out for www.WalkingforPennies.com!

iTunes baby!

neeleybridges — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:54:57 +0000

The album is now for sale on iTunes!!

The good thing about my songs being up on iTunes (other than the fact that everyone has an iTunes account) is that the songs are actually uploaded in the iTunes Plus format- that means that they’re encoded at a higher quality than the standard mp3 format, and they also have less restrictions- you know how you can’t usually share your purchased music with more than 5 registered computers? well iTunes Plus lets you share the music however you want, so pirate away!

No but seriously though, its important for me right now to get the music out to as many people as possible, so if you want to download the music through iTunes and share it with all of your friends then I’m just glad to have more people listening. Hopefully they’ll like it so much that they’ll buy their own copy…

Album now available on eMusic!

neeleybridges — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 06:23:40 +0000

Devil On My Shoulder is now available through eMusic.com!

Here’s a little blurb about eMusic from their own website…

“eMusic is a digital entertainment retailer focused on serving customers aged 25 and older. The service offers a vast selection of independent music and audio books in a universally compatible file format at great value. eMusic is the world’s largest retailer of independent music and the world’s second-largest digital music retailer overall, with more than 3.5 million tracks from over 27,000 independent labels and more than 2,000 titles from top audio book publishers.”

Basically you pay for a monthly subscription and they’ll give you a set amount of downloads for that month, so you end up paying way less for music as long as you use up all of your download credits for that month- if you’re a music junkie this is great way to go…

But like I’ve said before, if you have the opportunity its always better to get the actual CD!

No, seriously. When files are converted to mp3 through itunes and music services like eMusic, its great b/c they’re compatible with your ipod and phone and all your other fancy digital devices- BUT- there really is a sacrifice in the quality of the sound. If you really wanna hear how the artist wants you to hear their music, its best to buy their physical CD. More and more independent artists are becoming seriously involved in the recording process and you wouldn’t believe how much time and money they spend on getting their music to sound just right…

But services like iTunes are terrific for instant gratification and they allow you to at least sample the goods before you commit to buying the CD, and eMusic sounds like a truly affordable way for those audiophiles to dig in.

old posts from website…

neeleybridges — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:02:40 +0000

So I’m switching things up a bit- trying to keep my blogging to an actual blog site rather than tainting my own website with it;)

Here are the old posts from www.NeeleyBridges.com

I know they’re oh so interesting, but I’ve never been the type who can throw anything away…

9/5/08. Back from Vermont! Thank you everyone who came out to support us! I really had an amazing experience, but now its time to get back to work! Email me at info@neeleybridges.com for a CD (they’re $15) and I’ll be setting them up for retail on the web shortly. And for instant gratification, check my music page and you can download the mp3′s directly through Snocap!

7/9/08. Devil On My Shoulder now on sale! The CD release party in Wake Forest was so much fun- thank you to everyone who came! Be sure to go back for the official opening of the Storyteller’s Book Store of Wake Forest on July the 18th…
Til then you can find the CD on sale at the Wake Forest Coffee Company on South White Street downtown- I’m working on getting the CD up for sale on the internet so stay tuned (or email me and we can work something out!).

6/19/08. I just added a Snocap store to my music page! You can buy individual tracks directly from my website! Although I have to say, I’m a bit of an audio snob these days- mp3′s are standard these days and they sound great, but if you really want the full quality, my finished CD will be back from the manufacturing plant and in my hands on July 2nd. I should have CD’s for sale online by August- and please check back for info on my upcoming CD release concerts in both New York and Raleigh, NC!

5/11/08. Hey guys. You know, when I first started writing songs, i didn’t really think much of it- it just seemed like a great way to work through all that inner college turmoil, and way cheaper than therapy. I never dreamed I’d get so carried away as to make an album… But something took a hold of me somewhere along the line and its so much a part of me now that I can’t do anything but see this thing through and enjoy the ride….

Oh my god I can’t believe I’m blogging…
