New CD Update
Hey everybody! Nathan and I have finished recording, mixing and mastering our CD. It's a wonderful coffee-house feel jazz duo project that we are very proud of. The title THE REAL THING BEGINS has a couple of meanings for me. It's the title of my original song (cut 5) and also the creative space I'm in. I feel more present in my music than ever before. We're now looking for funding to be able to get it manufactured and out into the world. Friends and fans have been sending great ideas and offers of different kinds of support. One cool idea is to pre-sell our CD. I've done this in the past and it's been very helpful. We need to pre-sell 150 CDs to be able to get our first pressing done. I'll be sure to bring a home-grown order form to all my gigs this spring; if you want to support us that's a great way to do it! At $20ea they also make great gifts. I'll be looking into a Post Office box for out-of-town folks. Stay tuned.

New CD Distributor!
The change has been made folks. You can now purchase KIRA CALLAHAN LIVE AT GLENN GOULD STUDIO through the website, courtesy of Indie Pool - just visit the Listen Up page. My upcoming 2007 CD will also be available through a link from the site late this spring. Happy Listening!

kiracallahan.com website update
Whew! Time to refresh the site. There are a few changes afoot (where did this expression come from anyway?). I am in process of changing CD Distributors so it'll be a couple weeks before you can purchase Kira Callahan Live at Glenn Gould Studio off the site again. Toronto's own wonderful Indie Pool is my new distributor - yay! Also, there will be new information, some new photos and other goodies added to the site in the next six weeks or so. Stay tuned. As always, up-to-date gig information is available on the Performances Page.
