**ALWAYS CONFIRM WITH THE VENUE**

Late summer-Fall dates? ...MUSICSPEAK live in the garden of Eden!
Musicspeak is in Eden, VT writing and recording literally MEGATONS of new material, finishing vocals on the first two full-length albums, and in final stages of the debut album. After shifting release plans, titles, and even swapping songs around as we plan the releases, what was planned to be a self-titled EP has changed. The MusicSpeak album is officially titled "Room To Sustain": ten tracks, featuring brand new versions of the two radio singles "Why Can't I Follow?", and "Spin Around", an instrumental track, and more surprises.

This first official album represents a lifetime of work and is a very special debut. Every song could easily be released as a single so picking which to promote properly will be challanging. "Room To Sustain" prefectly sets up the music that will follows on the several albums worth of material already in/past advanced stages from evolving writing to advanced production.

MusicSpeak :" Room To Sustain" is set for release in November. We are final mixing and adding a few additional vocal touches, and tweaking the artwork and packaging right now, along with orchestrating the publishing, copyright, and the actual album launch. ...And in news from the future: The follow-up album is also already shaping up for a 2009 release date, so there will be tons of MusicSpeak available as we go global... stay tuned, with much more on the way - the fun part is just getting started!
