NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE

My new album, "Idea of a Girl" has been officially released and is now available on itunes, amazon mp3, and physical copies at live shows. I hope you enjoy the songs and come out to a show soon!

THE MASTER

The master cd has finally ben burned for my new album, titled "Idea of a Girl."

MIXING

The long, fun, and sometimes frustrating process of mixing has begun. Adjusting levels, tones, compressors, and ensuring the overall cohesion of the album is the last hurdle to jump before the album is ready for duplication and online distribution. Above is a picture of the various notes that help in navigating the mixing process and the many CDs that represent the step by step process of mix, listen, mix, listen, mix listen.

SNEAK PEEK

On thursday I finished up recording vocals for the new album. While I spend the next two weeks listening and taking notes on the tracks before mixing and mastering starts, I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at one of the songs by way of a video clip from the control room at D.M. Gremlin studios. The track is called "Over You."

TELE TIME!

I've been waiting for the chance to lay down a few guitar tracks with a telecaster and today I finally got to do it. Rented a '53 Tele from Andy Brauer's Guitar Shop in North Hollywood, took it down to the studio and put down a rhythm track for "Oh No (She Cries)" and rhythm and lead tracks for "We Should Be Alone." Got some great Keith Richards type sounds out of it for "We Should Be Alone" . . . got a feeling that song may lead off the album.
