Holly Brook updated fans on her blog at MySpcae on Tuesday (June 10), discussing the digital release of her new album on June 10th, how she’s doing in the Lilith Fair contest, and controversy from some that she’s “too professional” to be part of the festival’s contest. Brook writes:

I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO overjoyed to announce that I am FINALLY releasing some new music! Wahoo! It’s not a joke!

I’ve actually paid for the CDs to be made, and they are on the way! On JUNE 10th, you will be able to digitally download it, order a hard copy, or buy one at a show! It all happened so suddenly because A, I thought it would be stupid to not have music to sell in Europe, and B, I finally had enough money in my bank account to cover the final costs. No record company, nobody.

Holly Brook checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday and Monday, revealing that she’s planning to leave the business of music. The singer songwriter told readers on Sunday:

The time has come to GROW UP and face reality.

THIS IS MY DREAM: I’ll find steady income from a job. Then I’ll save up some money, build a mini studio, self produce, and give away my records for free. If someone pays me enough, I’ll take time off work to play a show, or do a tour. If an opportunity like working on a movie score falls into my lap, I’d be delighted to do it.

But I refuse to be a desperate artist. Not anymore.

Brook then followed up on Monday:

I made it sound like it was all about the financial struggles in that last blog, but its so much more than that.

Its so messed up that the thing I am so passionate about has become the greatest reaper of havoc in my life.

Holly Brook updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (March 14), talking about her nearly completed tour with Duncan Sheik, and a scary moment on the trek. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Of course, no tour would be complete without a near death experience. The generator on our bus caught on fire while we were all sleeping one night. Luckily the smell woke me up! We got out quickly and called the fire dept. Supposedly if we had let it burn 15 more minutes, we would’ve been toast! Very BURNT toast!

The post with more highlights from the tour has since been removed.

Holly Brook checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (December 30), discussing progress on the follow-up to her 2006 debut album ‘Like Blood Like Honey’. The Mazomanie, Wisconsin singer songwriter tells readers:

I finally feel like things are REALLY coming together for my record. To start, I seem to have a few financial angels around me, who are making this all possible. Its amazing that I’ll be able to pull off the completion of this record without the help of a label, which usually ends in some sort of destruction anyways. The independent model may not put me on the top of the highest mountain, but it will at least put me in a much less precarious spot. Things can only get better from there. Now, with producer, Duncan Sheik, the studio time is booked, the players are in, the artist is in, and the new website is weeks away from launching.

My only issue right now is that I still don’t have a title for the record! Do you have any ideas? I’ve been collecting a list of possibilities, but I’m still not sure if I’ve even come close.

The entire post and some of those ideas have since been removed.
