Hello! I hope you’re enjoying the Fall Weather! Hard to believe the holidays are now upon us. Halloween has come and gone and Thanksgiving is next week! I always marvel at how quickly the retail world has all the Christmas decorations up before Halloween – that’s just too soon for me! The campaign for Still has wrapped up and my attention has turned to a new project. I head back into the Recording studio in a week or so to put down the piano tracks for the new album. 2026 will find me back there with the guest musicians for the overdubs. Most likely a May 2027 release but I will keep you posted.
For my new newsletter recipients, thanks for signing up and as you can see I haven’t written in several months, so keeping true to not overwhelming anyone’s mailboxes. E-letters tend to come more frequently when a campaign is running for a new album, but in between I try to keep things to a minimum. Many of you have written to thank me for the music downloads I send upon signing up for my newsletter and I thank you for that. This new album will be my 18th, kind of hard to believe, but true! So there are many more to check out on my website on Amazon, and Apple. They are in both CD and Digital formats. Also available through many streaming partners of CD Baby (Spotify, Pandora, etc.)
As we are in the holiday season, I’ll mention my Christmas Album which is in the traditional style, reverent and in keeping with the meaning of the season. There are 2 originals as well. A great hostess gift or holiday soundtrack for opening presents, holiday dinners, quiet private reflection or just curling up in front of the fire with a special someone!
I’ll take this time to wish you all a wonderful Holiday, with family and friends, however you worship. The world seems to be spinning out of control in the current milieu and it is a difficult time for so many. I hope that my music can bring some peace to your lives and I fervently wish that 2026 is a safe, healthy and brighter year for all of us, for the country and the world.
Warmly,
Ann Sweeten
