Paul Colman planning new solo album

THE AUSTRALIAN-born singer/songwriter Paul Colman has appealed to fans to finance the recording and release of a new solo album, 'From The Salt Land To The River', which follows Colman's reunion album with the Paul Colman Trio, 'Return'. Said Colman, "The last solo album I released was in 2005 and I have a whole bunch of songs that I would LOVE to record. One reason that it's been seven years since my last solo album is that I was a member of The Newsboys from November 2005 through December 2008 and focused all my attention on writing, recording and touring with them. Another reason is that I left my record label in 2009 and have not had the finances to fund my own project since. I wanted to write and record songs that I was passionate about and not ones designed to fit into any specific market and in order to do this I left my record label. However, without the backing of a label, there has been no budget for a new album. So, I thought I'd see if there was anyone out there who was interested in helping me release these songs. I hope to start recording again in June with the album releasing in October this year."
