It's midnight in London and I thought it was about time I posted a message here on the site! It's been hectic as usual and there's lots of exciting stuff happening in the K-town world. First of course is the launch of our new label Kensaltown Records! Please check out what's happening on our website kensaltownrecords.com. Our first artist to be released is Dawn Kinnard. Her Album The Courtesy Fall will be released March 31st and she's already receiving praise and love in the UK press and music communities...I'm so proud of Dawns album...PLEASE check it out!

Also very exciting are all the upcoming releases this spring of albums I've produced during the last year. Jason Mraz, Ron Sexsmith, Martha Wainwright and Tristan Prettyman all have albums released during the spring / early summer, and I can't wait for you all to hear them!!

At the moment I'm working with Bruce Parry (from the BBC documentary "TRIBE") and Molly Oldfield on an album to raise money and awareness for the charity Survival International, which is a Worldwide organisation supporting tribal peoples and their human rights. So far we've recorded original songs and performances by KT Tunstall, Yusuf Islam, Brett Dennan and Jason Mraz. We will be recording many more amazing artist collaborations throughout the spring for an album due out in the autumn. Please check out their web-site: www.survival-international.org . You'll see why we are all so passionate about this project!

Take care out there and check back sometime...Much love, Martin
