Ruth Gerson's Delayed Album Gets A Release Date

.
Singer-songwriter Ruth Gerson will release her latest album, "This Can't Be My Life," on July 20th, 2010 via Wrong Records, her first release for the label.

Recorded by Nic Hard (The Bravery, Jesse Malin) with additional recording and mixing by Daniel Wise (Scissor Sisters, Secret Machines), Gerson says, "Writing the album got me from nowhere to somewhere and through the second hardest part of my life."

Originally ready for a summer 2007 release (the album was recorded, mastered and pressed), Gerson held back "This Can't Be My Life," because of her divorce and newly-single parenthood. Three years later, Gerson is ready to share "This Can't Be My Life" with the world.

During the period she went off the road, Gerson went from teaching part-time to teaching full time (Gerson taught at Princeton University and founded "The New & Used Songwriters Collective" in NYC). In 2009 Ruth moved to the Bay Area, and founded San Francisco Vocal Coaching. Vocal coaching and producing other artists led her to develop the SingingbeltTM � Gerson is the creator of the first bio-feedback device that teaches singers diaphragmatic breath support (www.singingbelt.com). "The SingingbeltTM is the reason I can go back to playing," she says. "It makes it possible to be a musician and support my family. I feel like Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank... I'm in the best place of my life now. I wrote 'TCBML' in the worst of places."
