There is a lot of news to share:

Neal has almost completed the sessions for the upcoming disc thanks to the gentle guidance of producer Arun Chaturvedi at nB Sounds. Included in those sessions are "Diapason (Because Of You)" and "Lying" whose preliminary mixes are still available on MySpace. Also look forward to a new version of "Over:Closure" on the disc.

He has also been tucked away in his own studio co-writing with local R&B sensation Flo Oramasionwu for her début release. In addition to that, Neal has joined forces with local urban studio Brotherman to provide session instrumentation and composition for the artists that they are developing.

From studio to stage, Neal has been lured by promises of prizes and cheap alcohol to take part in the 2006 Alive On Stage competition at Alive in Winnipeg (140 Bannatyne Ave.). This event, sponsored by Q94FM, started on June 8^th with 10 finalists (including Neal) joining a live band singing in various genres and themes for the following 6 weeks. This is happening every Thursday through July 27^th. For more information, click here.

Neal is still playing every Sunday night at Dylan O'Connor's for the entire summer. Check out the events section for more details.
