with the official release of our 4th studio album ‘DANCING WITH ANGELS’, I’d like to thank the amazing group of singers that came together to make this record happen. They put their talents, time, heart and soul into turning the pieces of music Michael Rozon and I composed into these songs. Please read Ashton, Leo, Cynthia, Julian, Patrik, William & Sarah, along with Wayne & Cinthya’s thoughts and words HERE, and as aways, please explore their catalogs …. you will not be disappointed! A big heartfelt thanks to my wife, Tish, BIC’ alumni Whitney Tai and the late, great Mars Williams for their contributions to the ‘HALOs’. I have been asked a lot about the beautiful cover art in many interviews, and the credit for that goes to Maren Platzhoff . Thank you so very much for creating these paintings and allowing us to use them… they are perfect to represent the songs within the record. On the drums, Dirk Doucette, for making the multiple 5 hour roundtrip drives to provide the beat that makes the BIC Family dance!! To 33.3’s Tim Perry … his undying belief in BIC and love of Vinyl is amazing. Finally to my dear friend and partner in this thing … Michael Rozon. The 1000+ hours we spent making this was pure joy, I could not, and would not, do BIC without you.

Shauna and her amazing Shameless Promotion team has helped bring a lot of attention to our new album. I appreciate ever ‘zine, blog, radio station, etc that took the time to listen, write and post. I take none of this for granted. Instead of attempting to list and add links here, I ask anyone interested to please scroll place the last week on our Facebook page, as I am certain I have shared them all!.

I know I speak for all involved when I say thank you everyone who has Pre-Ordered the VINYL and CDs! Please make sure you use your Download Code (if it has expired please reach out and we will get it sorted) so you have the full experience while waiting for the physical copies to arrive. The CDs are enroute to us from Dallas, TX and will begin shipping out by the end of the coming week. We will also expedite them to the UK , so they can be in the hands of all our European BIC Family as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience. I will get a vinyl update on Monday from 33.3 on the 12” Vinyl. They are being pressed in the Czech Republic and some of the first 100 copies will be shipping direct to the UK to save time. I will be personally sending 50 of the signed poster sets to be included.

There are still some of the Limited Edition vinyl Packages availble, so please see the links below if you want to add this to your record collection! For those who have given the full album a listing via the download, I am curious about your thoughts on the full album, favorite song(s) and the concept of the HALOs. I did make a post asking this… but I think people might have been too enthralled with that sheep with headphones photo !!!

So now with this album a few days behind us… what now? Well, we are in the process of editing two (2) more videos. Details soon! And as I wrap up this blog, I will be heading to meet Mr. Rozon at SAINTinLA to continue to work on an ‘undisclosed’ cover song that we started earlier this week. We plan to include this and possibly a second on the ‘re-envision’ album that will be the BIC-usual counterpart to ‘Dancing With Angels’. Details to come… but we are well into the process to making this release happen!
