Happy Holidays from VDP- 2011 Round Up – Gigs/Free Download ect.ect.
Hi Everyone,
Let me start off by wishing you all a great holiday season. I hope its filled with family, friends , love and laughter. All the good things that make this time of year so special.
2011 was a good year and I want to thank you all for the support at the shows and those that bought the new disc ” Broken Heart Tattoo“. Your all the main reason that I do
what I do, and I appreciate it. Also , I want to thank the band ( Danny Caruso, Andrea Ceresa, Stephen DeAcutis, John Pittas and our ” little drummer boys” Steve Decker, James Garabo & Dave Hartkern) for being
the talented musicians they are and playing their hearts out.
2012 is going to be full of more new music and some special projects including a video for ” Broken Heart Tattoo” which we will crowd source and have you all involved in. The
details of this will be coming at you soon. I’m also working on some new venues to perform at in the NY/NJ/PA areas. Although we are still going to focus on the new disc “BHT” for
the upcoming year, I recorded some new songs in October at Lakehouse Music in Asbury and I will be incorporating those songs and more into the sets as well as a possible e.p
release.
There are 2 more shows in the next few weeks and it would be great to see you all!

VDP Autumn 2011 Newsletter – CD Release Shows & Other Stuffs

As you know we finished and pressed our new disc Broken Heart Tattoo this summer. We are pretty proud of it. Those of you that have
picked up a copy have had some nice words to say, so Ill say ” Thanks”! If you have not heard it yet and would like to check it out you can
sample the tracks HERE and follow the links to purchase. Its also available at Amazon.com as well as at shows and by mail order in
CD and 12″ Vinyl formats. I also have finally put the entire catalog up on iTunes. Most of them have been remastered and also have bonus tracks
of live recordings, demos, unreleased tracks and stuff like that. You can check them out HERE

The band ; Danny Caruso, Steve DeAcutis, Andrea Ceresa, John Pittas have been rehearsing the past 2 months with Jim Garabo and Steve Decker who will be splitting the drum chair on
the upcoming live shows. Jim has played with us many times and Steve is an amazing drummer also. Welcome aboard! We are going to be celebrating the release of the disc with a few shows over the next few months. Playing the CD in its entirety and in order from start to finish and of course playing some of the older songs as well and a few that have been hibernating for years. I love this lineup of the band.

Other Stuffs:
In a flurry of creative activity I have recorded 4 songs with producer Jon Leidersdorff at Lakehouse Music in Asbury Park. I have known Jon for a while and we reconnected over the summer. I knew his work and production with some other musician friends, so we got together and reworked a few songs I had and cowrote a few others together. We tracked all 4 songs in a day with Jon on drums, Jack Daley ( Lenny Kravitz, Joss Stone, Five For Fighting) on bass, PK Lavengood ( John Eddie ) on electric guitar and me on acoustic guitar and vocals. We did another 2 days of overdubs with Eric Romero on keys who also engineered the sessions, Alex Brumel on backing vocals and then I did a few mandolin and tenor guitar overdubs. We will be mixing the songs soon and Im exited for you to hear them soon. It was a pleasure to work so quickly and not over think the process and just do somethings outside my normal way of working. Ill keep you updated.
So thats where its at for now. Hope to see you at the shows.
Peace & Love on you all!

How’s everyone doing? This has just been a great summer all around. And still another month to go. Sweet!!
I want to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made it to the Three Dog Night show at The State Theater.
It was a wonderful night and an honor to play the venue. Over the years I have seen so many great acts there.
It was a complete thrill to be on that stage and the crew and staff were the best. We sold a bunch of CD’s and met
a lot of great new friends.

Hey Hey Y’all,
How you been? Hope your doing alright!
As you know the new disc ” Broken Heart Tattoo ” is finally here. I have been pretty busy getting it all together and sending out some promo copies. As an Indie Artist, there is a ton of leg work to do.
It is now available on iTunes and Amazon as well. As of right now the best way to get a copy is to come see a show. But if your out of the area and would like to purchase a copy ($10) shoot me an email here or at vboomtunes@gmail.com and we can use the good old US Postal Service.
I have also done a reorder of my other 5 titles – Roomful of Songs, Graffiti Me, Feelin More Than Fine, The Lost Toys e.p and for the first time on CD, the solo acoustic Head in Your Heart. These will all be priced at $5.
The vinyl version of Broken Heart Tattoo will be shipping in a month or so and includes a digital download of the disc as well. so heads up you vinyl people!
The band has been hard at work rehearsing for a bunch of shows coming up in July and August and in the meantime ill be doing a few Solo Acoustic shows at various NJ/NY venues. These are always a lot of fun because I get to do songs I don’t normally do with the band. Maybe even a special guest might show up to sit in on a song or two????
Thats all for now , Have a great week!
Peace & Love & Sunscreen.
