Good Times Tracking

Hey friends,

I wanted to post a new update to fill you in on the album's progress.  As I was mentioning in my last update we started recording in late November, a solid three days at The Library, producer and music-wizard-genius Matt Patrick's studio.   Zach Miller was on drums, who's also producing this mad adventure, Aaron Fabbrini was on bass and baritone guitar, and Jake Hanson was rocking the electric guitars.  There was a unique magic between us all that left us feeling like something new had happened.  Our good friend, Will Keeler, was also able to grace us with his presence, getting some raw footage of the whole event that we hope to turn into some good home viewing for you folks.


Recently we've picked things back up with producer/guitarist/sweet dude Aaron Ankrum this January, and started recording acoustic guitars.  Zach, Aaron and I have had a blast on our last two sessions, and are really pumped for the third and last coming this Monday.  Having the acoustics recorded has really given these songs an anchor and a clearer view how these songs are shaping up.  There's an inspired fresh feeling now, which is a gift during the sometimes grueling recording process!

There's nothing quite like making music with such talented folk who happen to also be such good friends.  That dynamic is unlike anything else experienced.  It's something we feel you'll be able to hear in this music.  When you listen to a record being played, you're hearing the echos of these creative moments that happen, and keep happening as it inspires others, and gets some heads bobbing and feet tapping.  Recording is good stuff :).
