Busier than….. fill in vulgar metaphor here.
Sorry, been too busy working to post about how busy I am…. Currently working on mixing the new Handsome Midnight
album (kind of 90’s flavored dude indie rock), mixing the new Firebell album (Pat Metheny style jazz trio), mixing the Barbaro
EP (bluegrass with great songwriting and vocals) and….. mixing the new Communist Daughter record too!!!! Plus just starting
to track Davina & The Vagabonds (indescribably delicious sexy jump blues and vintage r&b) new record, writing and recording
with Jordan Holm (current indie pop/rock), recording with Alex Kiel (great country singer), just co-wrote the new single for Jesse
Larson (the Voice) with John Fields, recording 2 songs with Step Rockets (cool indie rock), along with a couple of other things….
So if you don’t hear from me that’s why, I’m not sitting around eating bonbons I’m busier than…. fill in vulgar metaphor here.
“Madman Across The Water” on Ray Donovan season premier
A couple of years back I produced a version of Elton’s “Madman Across The Water,” for Alison Scott. Just found out it will be in the season premier of #RayDonovan on Showtime. It airs August 6th at 9pm. Special thanks to the Laurel String Quartet for playing this challenging arrangement on it, they really nailed it. Great Peter Anderson drum track too.
Looking forward to making new music with Davina And The Vagabonds!
NO ONE works harder than this woman. She makes James Brown look like a slacker, there is not a place left in the WORLD where she hasn’t toured, just check her schedule. Great singer, writer, piano player and band leader. 
Writing new music with Step Rockets
These guys are cool, I can tell it’s going to be something different….
Great time in Nashville writing with these freaks
Lincoln Parish (ex Cage The Elephant), Johnny Lucas (recently moved to Nashville from UK) and I had fun writing
new songs in Lincoln’s fine studio. Johnny will be making a record soon…
