Hi kids!

Just a quick update to let you know that we are almost done with the artwork for my new album SURRENDER. It is looking SWEET, and will come adorning a 4-panel Eco-Wallet (its good to be green!),  which will include the disc and a REALLY COOL poster.

We are offering autographed posters along with the CD Pre-Orders HERE

SURRENDER will also come with two digital only Bonus Tracks. One is a remix done by one of the UK’s most prolific downtempo-Chill DJs – CHRIS COCO

Put this in your calendar: SURRENDER will be released on August 16, 2011

I’m so happy to be able to share this new music with you!

As you listen, imagine…

Hi everyone,

My new album “SURRENDER” is heading to the mastering studio. We’ve completed the mixes, and have 11 new songs and nearly an hour of new music to share with the world (and beyond) this summer.

We’ve chosen Steve Hall at Future Disc Mastering to master this music. He has worked with many of the worlds finest artists (check out a sampling of his work here), and it will be an honor to be listed among them.

I’m way excited about this music. It’s a bit different for me, I’ve taken a few risks, and am incredibly proud of the work we have done.

“SURRENDER” was produced by me and Bryan Carrigan (he mixed RELEASED and TRUE, my two recent award winning albums), and includes some amazing vocal performances by the incomparable Diane Arkenstone.

Over the next few months, look for details on how you can pre-order SURRENDER, and receive a bonus track and an autographed copy of the album for being one of the first to reserve a copy.

If you haven’t done so already, JOIN MY MAILING LIST and that way you’ll be the first to know the latest as we move closer to the release of “SURRENDER”.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be sharing this new music….SO very cool.

We’ll be performing some shows this summer and fall as well, so please join the mailing list or check out my Official Website for the latest dates.

I recently played a show here in San Francisco, at the Rrazz Room. This is one of the finest clubs in San Francisco, and it was an honor to play there.

Here’s a video of part of the show at The Rrazz Room – WATCH IT HERE

Thanks so much for all of your kind words about my music. I read and embrace every one of them, and I look forward to rocking your world with this new music…

As you listen, imagine…

ONWARD!

Jeff

A NEW JEFF OSTER CD:

My new album, SURRENDER, will be released late summer, early fall. Mixing is nearly complete…It features 11 new songs, featuring some special collaborations and I hope that you will be as happy to hear it as I am to share it. Believe me, it’ll be worth the wait..
