I hope that you are enjoying the new website! I know that I sure enjoyed designing it for you. I wanted to take some time to give you an update on everything that’s going on. Married life is great! Melissa and I had an amazing time on our honeymoon and when we got back, I hit the ground running. I am currently in the studio recording a full length (LP) that will hopefully be finished within the next few months.

I’ve decided to take on the role as producer on this record as all of the songs have a special place in my heart. I can’t wait for you guys to take a listen. It’s a working process but I’m taking my time and making sure that everything is right! As of right now, all of the basic tracks are recorded and complete (ie. bass,drums,acoustic guitar, and electric). I’ve been so blessed to have some of my amazing friends help out on the record and feel so thankful for all of the hard work that they have put into this. (You know who you are!!)

I’m also in talks with getting a licensing deal for the old record ‘Rise and Shine’ Please keep your fingers crossed as I enter into this new stage of my music career. Once again, as always, I can’t thank you guys enough for all of the love and support that you show me. It really does fuel the fire! Please keep checking back for more updates, as I will be posting on here more frequently.

 

With Love,

Derek Stroker

Read more]]> A NEW SONG!! Click HERE or visit http://www.myspace.com/derekstroker to listen to a brand new song called ‘A Christmas Song’. I wrote and recorded this song for you guys in my apartment last week! I hope you are enjoying being with your Families and Friends today, I know I sure am. I Love You All!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Lyrics:

Her hopes, her dreams, Are sitting underneath

A Christmas tree, Picked from the yard

We gather round, As Sunday morning breaks

The smile that’s on her face, it says everything

Traditions are only as good as before

The moments we make as we sit on the floor

Opening presents, the look of surprise

I’ll always remember the look in her eyes

As I sing her, a Christmas song

It’s been a year, Since Christmas day

We sing we play, Just like the last

The families here, A toast to what has passed

The kids they grow up so fast

Traditions are only as good as before

The moments we make as we sit on the floor

Opening presents, the look of surprise

I’ll always remember the look in her eyes

As I sing her, a Christmas song

I have some very exciting news to share with you guys! Today I launched a new website called The Hope and Love Project at http://www.hopeandloveproject.com. This new website is powered by a great company called Kickstarter. Kickstarter gives artists/musicians/creative people a unique opportunity to have a project funded by their friends, family, fans, etc!!

Link: http://www.hopeandloveproject.com

or Click Here To See What All The Hype Is About!

My goal is to raise $6,000 to record, mix and master a brand new album which will be entitled ‘The Hope And Love Project’. I am SOOO excited to get back into the studio and record my new songs for you guys. There is only one problem, recording a record takes some serious cash. With that being said I am asking for everybody’s help (once again). If you are able to contribute towards the recording of this album there are some great incentives for you, including T-Shirts/House Shows/ Skype Shows/ Signed Posters/ Lyric Sheets/ and even a Guitar Giveaway!!

It would be truly amazing if you would go to http://www.hopeandloveproject.com and help me start a music revolution. ‘The Hope and Love Project’ is not just a record, it’s a MOVEMENT!

With Love,

-Ds
