Love Says So, the first release from the eagerly anticipated new album is now available on selected digital download sites. (links found in the "buy" section)

Getting back to his roots as an electric guitarist, Love Says So is an irresistibly inviting “Blue Eyed Soul” tip of the hat to those artists who inspire him the most.

The forthcoming album will feature not only this song, but this sound, style, and production team.

New releases and tour dates will follow, as well as updated lists of digital stores and sites, etc.

A clip of the song is available here under the "Music" tab, and as always, it's available for download and EASILY worth a buck-twenty-nine!

Tell a friend...
Tell LOTS of friends!

Ps. If you enjoy my music, or any artist’s work, know that your purchase and support keeps independent artists creating.

Thank you!]]> http://brettmikels.com/news.html#5 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Official Website - Brett Mikels - Brett Mikels - Thoughts http://brettmikels.com/news.html#4
In a few weeks, we'll be releasing a new single off the forthcoming album, and I'm WAY more than anxious, thrilled, stoked, pumped, psyched, excited, over the moon, jazzed, flipped out, (insert your favorite colloquialism or just stop me now) amped, cranked!!!

The sound and vibe? It's starting off where Disconnected left off with a little more groove, electric guitar, and tempo. I promise it'll be worth all this wait. :) Of course, announcements will be plastered all over, links, etc. I will also share more details on the upcoming record, and tour soon.

Some huge thanks that are long overdue for the past handful of months to Herman Matthews, Jason Orme, Ned Albright, Nancy Badger, Lee Sklar, Dan Rothchild, Vincent Jones (early), Doug Kaplan, Steve Skaggs, Follow The Monkey, Doug Diamond, Bob Dixon, Phil Jamison, Damage Control, Strymon, Kiki Wow, Rebecca Wolf, Wally Sales, Matt Chidgey, Jason Saracco, Tyler Dragness, Matt Hufschmidt, Sean Carter, Highland Hall, Tiago, Shawn Davis, Ryan Roberts, Doc Pebe, and last but always most, my family!

Stay tuned...
