If your design is selected you will win a prize pack of CDs, shirts(with your logo on it!) unlimited fame/gratitude, song dedications and free tickets to upcoming shows. (there are shows in the works for Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Texas, the UK and many spots in-between) Even just for sending in a design I will be thrilled to give you a free CD and feature your work on my website. Deadline is Friday, January 22. So please email your fabulous ideas to clea@clearoddick.com Do It!!! xo Clea Dec 9: NEW SONG! Free Holiday Download!!! Snow covered and short sunshine moments. As 2009 draws its shutters, a deep thank you is in order. (Drum roll, sweeping string section….) To you the listener! You are the reason these songs have made their way beyond my little walls (real and imaginary) and out into the wider world. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You! Gratitude is exploding like midnight fireworks for each person who comes to the live shows, each visitor of this site, each radio lover, each Facebook and Myspace fan and friend, and everyone that continues to be joyfully supportive of independent music. Sometimes songs write themselves and that is what happened in this instance: several chickadees around the wide open front door collaborated with my musings and this song was born. With some help from Spencer Cheyne on drums, Mike Southworth & Ally Keller on BG’s (and of course Craig Newnes providing bass and fairy dust) the little fledgling became beautiful and here she is! It will be on the 2010 album but I wanted to give it to you lovelies first so go ahead and download away! Happy Holidays to all. xo Clea CLICK HERE TO ACCESS YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD OF 'CHICKADEE' Oct 23: Cheryl Catherine Smith Peer Reviews Clea Roddick’s Track Rollerskate on Raised On Indie As a female singer/songwriter I am a huge supporter of other gals in the biz and I was drawn to this review for this purpose - support! After listening to this song several times I am left believing that Clea doesn't really need my support as I'm sure she has the support of many already! There's a lovely quirky vulnerable quality to Clea Roddick's voice, a voice that entices us gladly into a song entitled "Rollerskate", that she "loves to ride on." Her interesting lyrics bring a pondering - are they serving as double entendres, allusions to a longing for a peaceful world harmony or is this simply a song about how much she loves rollerskating? I believe that it is all of the above, which then lends to a further belief that this is a well crafted & thought out song, despite it's low-fi and almost casual approach. The be-bopping beat leaves me feeling somehow refreshed & her endearing voice with the cool bends helps soothe the "savage beast" (?!) within. Here's the link at Raised On Indie Aug 5: 'Rollerskate' licenced by major TV shows! MTV's 'The Hills' & 'The City', MTV's Road Rules (all shows-'The Real World' etc.), VH1's 'Tough Love', E!TV's 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' & 'Khloe & Kourt go to Miami' and a new MTV show called 'The Stylist' have all licensed Clea’s new record! This means that any songs from ROLLERSKATE may be used on the new seasons of these shows!! A huge thank you to the music supervisors and to Tinderbox Music for helping out with this! If you watch these shows tell your friends to listen up!!! When you hear something that 'sounds like Clea'-it might actually be!! To get more interactive please visit Clea’s Facebook or Myspace pages & become a fan. Thanks for everyone's continued love & support. xx Jul 2: Radio Victories!
