…the 5th of November. Or the 4th, really…BUT, the 5th is the first day that the US woke to the reality of Barack Obama as its next president. AND, I happen to be in New Zealand for one more week, so for me, the election took place on Wednesday the 5th (my NZ […]

A tourist in my own country
By simonspire | September 7, 2008
With Round 1 of the New Zealand ALL or NOTHING phase complete, I’m back in New York and rocking out with the band. It was a great trip back home: as well as the obvious catching-up with family and friends, the album release in NZ was a wonderful way to kick off the […]

Airing on Music TV and album release!
By simonspire | August 15, 2008
It’s almost release day here in New Zealand! ALL or NOTHING goes into stores throughout New Zealand on August 18th on Sony/BMG’s Rajon label – this is the first domino to fall in the snow-balling ALL or NOTHING tsunami (oh yeah, I think I just combined three metaphors.)
I’m fond of lame puns, so here is […]

In New Zealand (and Inside Out music video)
By simonspire | July 19, 2008
I knew I was home when I received a call from the affable guy setting up a guitar of mine. It’s a Taylor acoustic, and needed some adjustments made. He said to me, “I see that there’s been no arrangement made for payment - let’s make it a box of beers.” I […]

Below are several photos from the Bitter End show on Thursday night. Thank you to the wonderfully energetic and rocking audience that made for such a fun night! As yet, I have no news to report regarding my dedication of “You, You, You” to Neil Diamond (who, as I mentioned, frequently played the […]

ALL or NOTHING
By simonspire | May 25, 2008
I am often asked why I chose the title of this album to be ALL or NOTHING. Because it’s something that means a lot to me, and because I often wish I could say more when condensing my verbal answer into a couple of sentences, I have decided to write a little about it […]

Solitary Man
By simonspire | May 13, 2008
I wrote a song last year entitled “Lost In You” (not yet recorded). Broken-heart-love-songs are not all that frequent for me – as much as I truly love them, I usually end up writing about something else. But this song was definitely one of those (and she knows who she is!).
Well, the heartbreak I experienced last Wednesday night puts “Lost In You” to shame.

Behind-the-scenes Video link
By simonspire | April 10, 2008
Greetings from New Zealand, where I’m preparing for the NZ launch of ALL or NOTHING (a few weeks yet - not until my next NZ visit - though it’s already available online: iTunes and CD Baby). Last weekend saw the shoot of the music video for Inside Out, which should be available next month (editing […]

Update
By simonspire | November 4, 2007
It’s Sunday night on November the 4th, which means two things: one, that it’s my fourth day in my new home; and two, that my new web site (www.simonspire.com) will be launched tomorrow. And on that note, I want to give a short update on some developments over the past few months, since I […]
