The New Album

As I write, I’m busily planning my next visit to the studio, which will be April 2nd and 3rd.  I’ll be setting up in the live room at Moonlight Studios with a bunch of great mics and laying down 11 tracks completely live.  No overdubs, no accompaniment.  Just my voice, a guitar and my boots.  I really can’t wait for it to be available!  I feel that I’ve outgrown my last EP in alot of ways and hope to show that with this new record.  Hang in there, it will be available veryveryvery soon, both streaming on MySpace and in all the major digital music stores.

Also, my friend Justin Brock will be in the studio with me to document the recording session with his photography.  You can see lots of his work at Etsy or on his Facebook fanpage.

Dig it.

At breakneck speed…

[I’ll just open up right in the middle.  You’ll catch up quickly, I’m sure.] 

     The picture above is of my new obsession.  It’s a Michael Kelly Deuce Phoenix (guitar).  I’m hoping that it will become my new stage guitar for the next incarnation of my live performance.  Over the past several years, I’ve used an acoustic guitar almost exclusively.  I enjoy it, but I don’t feel that my music or personna fits in well with other singer-songwriters using acoustic instruments.  I want to branch out, and hope to avoid the stereotypes that get thrown my way.  Also, I want to entertain; to give people something enjoyable and rockin’ instead of dreary and loathesome. 

     In other news, I’m planning a few weekend tours for January 2010.  Tennessee is a definite destination and more places are in the works.  I’ll be sure to post updates as the tours develop.
