Shenanigans

We be moving on up (to the new site)!

The bad news:

As much as I love staring at myself passed out in a sand-dune every time I post a new blog (sorry, mom), we will be moving over to our new home with a slightly more, how do you say, flattering layout? Wherein this page will eventually be a dead link/fall off the face of the earth.

The good news:

This is all because my new website has FINALLY GONE LIVE! All of the blog posts have already been transfered over, and I will continually post updates there. You are welcome to subscribe, shop around and take a look. Pack your bags, and join the party! It all goes down at:

First Things First

I am currently sitting in Bear Creek Studios (Seattle, WA) on a very comfy leather couch, huddled behind my laptop while I wait to hop up & record. I'm doing backup vocals for Alyse Black's sophomore album, name pending. There's saw on the record. Makes me wonder, is there such a thing as a full time professional saw player?

Over at Shangri-la Studios (Lexington, KY), mixing on my first album just wrapped up (like, literally...43 minutes ago). I have run through the tracks about 7,347 times each, and am eager to get them out into the world. Special thanks to Duane Lundy, producer extraordinaire, for making the entire process seem ridiculously simple...my neurosis and nitpicking at single notes aside.

Album art is underway. Just did my photos with Jay Conlon. I've never been much of a photographer, but I really like the idea of keeping a photo blog. I can't find my damn camera charger, so I'm going to start with a shot from an actual legit photographer. This shot won't make the album cut, and to never make it out into the world would just be tragic. So here goes:
Behind Cafe Rio Rita. You can't see it, but I tried really hard to make a sad face. (Austin, Tx)

That's me. I suck at sad faces.
