The Lilith Fair Local Talent Search has extended the entry deadline to May 22nd, though judging on OurStage.com will begin on May 1st, 2010.  They have also narrowed the playing field by region so I will be competing with other artists from California and Hawaii instead of the whole world and if selected, I would be performing in San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego.

We have been producing our new song, “Right Here Now” at SunSound Studios and recently, one of our fans, Christopher Taylor, strongly encouraged us to consider uploading “Whirlwind Girl” for our contest entry.  What do YOU think?  Leave us a comment.

Michael Logue and I have put in some more hours on Right Here Now, the track we are submitting at the end of this month for the Lilith Fair Contest on OurStage.com.  Give this new version of Right Here Now a listen and let us know your thoughts here on my blog.  Last time we posted a sample, we got some great, practical feedback from Barry Friedman (shorten the intro.) and Julie Maria Madrona (less reverb on the vocals).  Thanks for listening and sharing the production process with us!  Here is the new sample of Right Here Now (version 2):

“Being a part of Lilith Fair was inspiring on so many levels.

Besides discovering new music everyday and sharing the stage
with an incredible array of talented women,

it was wonderful to see established and new artists alike
have the opportunity to play in front of much larger or more diverse audiences than usual.

With that in mind, I am thrilled to announce the first set of artists for Lilith 2010.”

– Lilith co-founder and main stage headliner Sarah McLachlan

I am excited to share this preview sample of “Right Here Now” with you. This song is being recorded at SunSound Studios in Grass Valley, CA. Enjoy the expanded slow rock feel with vocal harmonies and lyrics that remind us to stay present.

[audio:new_scratches/RightHereNowSample.mp3]

This song is going to be on the next album.

Lyrics:

Sometimes she speaks without making a sound.

Sometimes she screams so loud it shakes the clouds.

Oh, but she’s right here now.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost in this town.

Sometimes I feel like an angel flying around.

Oh, but I’m right here now.

Sometimes he floats away from the light.

Sometimes he shines like a star in the night.

Oh, but he’s right here now.
