1369 LightsALBANY, NY -- (9/15/2008) -- In anticipation of a tentative Halloween official release date, Albany-based soul rock singer songwriter Bryan Thomas has launched an online preview of his fifth album 1369 LIGHTS at www.bryanthomas.com/1369. The preview includes:
  • STREAMING AUDIO: The entire album is now available for listening as streaming audio. Adobe Flash required.
  • FREE MP3 DOWNLOADS: Beginning Monday, September 22, a free download will be available as the featured "MP3 of the Week." This will continue with a new song each Monday until the official album release, tentatively set for Friday, October 31.

In addition to the preview online at bryanthomas.com, preview audio is also online at MySpace and FaceBook.

Soul rocker Bryan Thomas hails from New York's capital city of Albany. The Albany Times Union named him "Best Male Singer-Songwriter" shortly after he released his acoustic hip-hop debut Radio Plastic Jennifer in 1999. The follow-up soul rock epic Ones and Zeros was Metroland Magazine's "Album of the Year" in 2002. Samples of Bryan's music, video and poetry can be found online at his award-winning web site bryanthomas.com, and at TheHiddenCity.com, a webzine for underground arts in Albany. Thomas is a founding member of the Hidden City collective.
