Dear Friends,

    Thank you so much for filling out the survey last month and giving me feedback on my websites.  You are awesome and your feedback is invaluable!!!  Interestingly, the results were close - with the Reverbnation site winning by a nose.  What was most helpful were the comments.  I've made some changes already, and will be making more, based on your advice.  THANK YOU!!!!!  

     I plan to record one or more fun videos this summer.  Would you like to be involved?  Check out the Join the Team section below.

Also, to stay connected between newsletters, please "LIKE" my music page on Facebook and if you follow me on Twitter I will follow you! :)

Monday, July 18th   California State Fair!  I've never been to the state fair before and totally looking forward to it.  Are you going this year?  If so, maybe I'll see you.  I'm playing with my band on Monday, July 18th at 5:00 p.m. on the Promenade Stage!

Thursday, July 28th Phoenix Theater  A massive fundraiser for the Handcar Regatta in September.  Tons of bands.  Jug Dealers, The Crux, and more! You don't want to miss this one!  Check my website for more details as they unfold: davidluning.com

Sunday, July 31st Yoshi's

Also on the bill is Tyler Matthew Smith and Avi Wisnia!

Live from the Yoshi's SF Lounge every Sunday, Songwriters Unplugged is an intimate, acoustic take on your favorite original songwriters.  Every week three artists take turns playing short sets of their songs, collaborating with each other and bringing in special guests to join them on stage.  Presented by Bay Vibes and Sonic Zen Records.

   AE Casting invited me to audition for a YWCA video.   I got the part!  I do the voice over and play the part of a 17 year old.  You'll also hear my song, "Waiting Room" in the background for part of it. 

 The YWCA is doing amazing and important work on behalf of women in abusive relationships.   Check out their promo video below...  If you click here the You Tube version can be made full screen.

 House Concerts

More and more I am discovering how awesome house concerts are!  In my opinion, it is the best way to see live music.  These events are so much fun, and so memorable, everybody's doin' it!  American Airlines did a story on it last December, and CNN is doing a story about it next month.   Curious?

• Watch the short video that people use to promote these great events to their friends. http://youtube.com/watch?v=try-z4-4h04

I’d love to play for you and your friends, so please contact me if you are interested.

PS - how much does it cost to have one at your house?  Nothing, or almost nothing (that's up to you...).  Read the free guide for more info. http://bit.ly/cKQzQm

 I'm putting together a team (or teams)!

Would you like to be part of a team?  Perhaps a team working together on a music video?  Perhaps a team painting a giant backdrop?  Perhaps a team putting together a tour?  Perhaps a team recording a live show? Well, if any of that sounds fun, I need you!

What would be in it for you?  The opportunity to work on a fun, creative project!  A chance to meet new people! An official job title you could use on your resume! Amazing appreciation, recognition, gratitude, FUN, and love -  lots of love!  And whenever I can I will give you:  free t-shirts,  free CD's, food, free passes into events....

I have created a survey to make it easy to see the options and choose whatever interests you.  Click here.
