On behalf of both deepnine and Collabitat Records I am pleased to announce the official debut CD release of Flowers on the Dirt Road Home by deepnine on April 30, 2003. It has been an exciting, wonderful, long, and sometimes arduous journey of discovery for me completing this first album. I truly hope you will enjoy the end result.

The CD is available internationally via cdbaby.com and most major online retailers. Digital singles are available from buymusic.com and napster.com with more to stores follow.

In the face of darkness it is my belief that the power of creation can literally transform and illuminate the world and that all people are creative. Here's to nurturing the creative spirit in all human beings, encouraging our children to dream, learning to let go of hatred, and adding something beautiful to this world.
