Its that time of year.. yes.. Time to release a CD. I've been dabbling in recording/producing for the past couple of years and I have opened my studio up to many of my colleagues and friends. My good friend George Ogg just finished his solo project and he tacked on a few tunes we did together. I highly recomend his CD. You can purchase it by emailing him at georgeandchristina@myvine.com. Also Vocalist Hazel Carter has done a CD with me (at my studio) and she will be releasing it as well. You can purchase it by emailing me at ericcla@comcast.net.

Its a busy month! lots of parties, private parties clubs to play. Tons of students... Its nuts! But I love Christmas. My new CD will be coming out soon.. I have a slight hang-up on the art-work but all should be coming together soon. My calendar is up to date so please check it out. Thanks again for your support and a Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Thankyou for checking out my website! This is a fun month. Lots of gigs, many of them at Club Soda. I'll be playing Solo Piano on Thursdays the 8th and 15th from 6-9 at Club Soda all this month. Todd Harrold and I are still playing a lot of gigs together at Club Soda and a new Legion post in Garrett. Also I'm playing with Jamie Wise at Club Soda Saturday the 12th. The Solo Piano CD is still expected to be released before December. So.. Lots of fun stuff happening. Thanks again for stopping by. Check out my FREE music section to listen to some various cuts. I should have more music up soon.

I'm a tad late this month on the October Update.. A lot has been happening! I just got back from a nice vacation. Laura and I had a great time, and now its back to work. I have several gigs coming up with Todd Harrold--as always! The trio has been rehearsing, working on new material and its exciting stuff. The Solo piano album is done, i'm just waiting for art work. I'm also involved in a jazz service every week at Cavary Third Pres. on Anthony Blvd. Its fun to improvise in a worship type setting, very challenging. Dave Streeter is joining me, playing reeds, and sounding great. Check my calendar for up-coming events.

Hello!! Everyone. Thankyou for supporting my website. I appreciate your comments and CD sales more than you can ever know! Thank you for keeping music alive. The last few months I've been practicing to earn your support and working on a lot of new material. This month will be no different. The Todd Harrold band is in full swing, working on new material. The last time we played Club Soda they literally didnt want us to stop playing, and thats fun! This time around we want to be even better so we will be rehearsing quite a bit this week and next. Also I'm still working hard on my own CD. Its nearly complete with a few finishing polish touches to make, and I'm working on the art work. The great George Connors will be helping me in that area, along with Scott Young. Check my calendar as I have updated it. Also I will be putting new free music up soon!!

Tom Archer was a fine piano player and a wonderful person. He died a few days ago and his family and friends are honoring him with a jam session this Sunday at Hall's Guest House. I plan to be there. There will be a jam session and all musicians are invited to honor him by playing.

The CD party was a success! There are a lot of fun things happening this month. I'm at Joseph Decuis with George Ogg and Todd this Friday (the 5th) and with Todd Harrold's band (With two guitar players on the 6th). Its also a big teaching month. I'm no longer at park place with Shelley Sanders (We may be going back next month) so I have been taking more students. Also I'm working hard on a solo piano CD which should be out by the middle of the month! Currently you can buy the Todd Harrold/Eric Clancy CD if you click BUY on my website.

July 16th at Club Soda we will be releasing our CD. The music on this project falls with-in the adult contemporary smooth/jazz/R&B category. Its exciting stuff. Todd sounds amazing, and he gave me lots of freedom to do my thing, so I'm excited about this project. For a taste, check out 'REAL' in my music section. I'll have more up soon.

You can now purchase REAL here on my website. The CD features 50 minutes of original music, carefully crafted, and thoughtfully performed. If you like the sound of Bill Withers, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, with shades of Pat Methany and Bill Evans, I think you'll love this album. Purchase it by clicking on BUY NOW and use the paypal button. It will be available on CD Baby soon. Right now this is the first and only way to buy this album until July 16th when we release it for the general public.

This is going to be a fun month! Lots of private parties! Lots of music everywhere, people are in a good mood.. oh yeah and a CD coming out (Possibly two if I can get my butt moving on the solo project). Todd Harrold and I will be releasing a CD July 16th (at Club Soda from 9:30-12:30) check out Dream At The Same time in my music section.

You can catch Shelley Sanders and I at Park Place ever Wed/Fri from 6-8:30. In addition I'm now working with Shannon Persinger on Thursdays at Park Place from 6-8:30 starting June 9.

The New Solo CD is still under some construction. Its 80% near being complete. In the meantime I'm also working on some other projects. Todd Harrold and I are working on finishing a project we started a year and a half ago!

If you peek at my calendar you'll see that I'm pretty busy. In addition, I'm with Shelley Sanders every Wed/Fri during happy hour at Park Place on Main Street. You may notice the ubiquitous presence of Todd Harrold gracing the pages of my calendar. He and I are working on several projects (Each with side project offshoots in all sorts of crazy directions) with more coming. I'll have some very exciting news on that front soon.

My teaching schedule is pretty much filled, although I have a couple of holes on Tuesdays and Sundays for prospective students. I welcome students of all ages and demographics. Its a joy in my life to be able to share music with people.

Its about time! (Or so a few people have told me) I was doing the numbers the other day and I'm pretty sure I've done tracking on over 57 albums in one capacity or another. Thats fun and exciting, but it would be more exciting, and even more fun for me if one of those albums were mine. (Urban Legend Notwithstanding) So hey! I think I'll do my own. After-all I have this home studio and everything, it seems fitting. So it will be out soon! Some of the cuts are in my music section under "Solo piano". I'm talking to a good friend about art work, and Michael Patterson and my uncle (fondly known as Uncle Dave) are giving me some rich fertilizer for ideas. I plan on basically giving this CD away. Thats right.. its gonna be pretty much FREE FREE FREE. It occurs to me that I will charge everyone for all the stuff I do for their projects and give away my own. If that seems backwards.. well so be it. (well as much as possible, I may have to charge materials costs--you didn't think it was totally free did you? Somewhere around $7.99 online and a little less if you buy it from me in person). It should be ready in a week and a half or so. It Should be very fun! Yes I'm covering some well known, tried, and true standards, as well as some original material. I've also included new standards that one wouldn't neccessarily classify as a jazz standard.. the "New Jazz Standard" per se.. or at least as I conceive it. Check out "Staying Alive" in my music section (www.ericclancy.com/music.html) for a taste of what I'm talking about here. At least I'm having fun playing music. This project has helped me re-discover solo piano, and my own relationship with it.

I've been working hard on original music for Joseph Decuis. Joseph Decuis is an awe inspiring, top knotch, world-class place in Roanoke Indiana. I've been playing there for over five years, and I was very excited when I began working on original music for the restaurant. You can check out country oasis in my music section, www.ericclancy.com/music.html with George Ogg playing guitar. More will be available soon. Also check the link to Joseph Decuis in my link section.

Shelley and I have been playing two days a week at Park Place Grill on Main Street for the past year now. Shelley has a huge variety of music that she sings, and she sounds great. Its always a good time. Check us out this Wed from 6:00-8:30 and this Friday from 6:00-8:30!

Dave Nelson is a musician in Fort Wayne who has a son who suffers from the affects of autism. He has put together several musical projects dedicated to autistic children and medical research. His latest release "A Hopeful Cat in a Dog's World." Can be found on www.songbirdpromotions.com. I wrote a tune for the project called "For Julian" and accompanied Amy Moser (a fine vocalist) on an interesting tune called "Lunacy" and I played with my friend and partner Todd Harold on the first track of the album; "Real." A home studio version of the tune is available in my music section.

I'll have more music with Todd Harold on here soon.
