So my friend Steven Wilson of the mighty Plasticsoul informed me about this thing called February Album Writing Month (FAWM) which issues the challenge of writing and recording 14 songs in the 28 days of February. I love this kind of stuff, I assume, because I’m addicted to starting things I never finish.

If you’re interested, here’s the Marble Tea FAWM page.

As always, I encourage you to come be a friend at the Facebook Page and a get an exclusive and FREE 5-song EP!
