FAWM 2009 is long over. Why do I mention this? Because there are a crop of my new songs on this site and I’m not sure you all know about them. Head over to the Music page and the FAWM 2009 Demo page for all the demos from this year.

In addition, this year I wrote a 5 song EP during February based on the book “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis. The album is entitled Every Hair and Feather. You can check it out in more detail at it’s site - Here

Jen and I also have a great interest in Board Games. In an older version of the site, I had a link to version of Medieval and Rennaisance era game board that I have built. There are in a PDF format so that you can print them out and play them yourself.

I’m happy to announce the return of these games - Head to the Games Page in the “Other” section.

FAWM 2008 has come and gone in it’s creative explosion. I wrote and recorded 16+ songs. I say “+” because I collaborated on several other tracks, writing music or lyrics that a different songwriter then took and added to. Several of the 16 are also collaborations. It was a wild year, with music and words flowing back and forth freely. In other words, it was a lot of fun!

Keep an eye on the Music page for the FAWM 2008 demos, which will be there shortly.

One other side benefit of FAWM this year is that my band has a new name - Traitor Mouse. In fact, keep an eye on our new site - www.traitormouse.com. Jen, George, and I are excited to be playing out under this new name.

Some songs from this site, will appear on the Traitor Mouse page as well, as they are songs destined for the band’s rotation.

You also may notice a few weird eccentricities with this site. The site experienced a failure during a routine upgrade and I’ve been fixing it as I can. I will be overhauling sections, so if things seem lost or different, keep an eye here on the news page for details of site changes.

Hello all! This the new site for Singer/Songwriter Eric Distad. This is a work in progress, so bear with us as we move things around and get things tweaked.
