Long Saturday

I finally feel mostly recovered from this past Saturday. From 9 AM until 5 PM, I was recording with The City and Restoration Project at the Dragon Room. Then, at 6:30 PM, I packed up my gear for a performance in Elmhurst, IL, at Cuvee Cellars. I arrived back home at 11:45 PM. Long day? I’ll say so.

Saturday was a super-productive session, recording cello for two songs, for two different records coming out in the next four months. “Jump” is a song that I wrote, and The City decided to record a down-tempo version of the song – quite obviously different from the version found on my new solo album, “Fundamental.” The other song, “O Love Divine” will be on ResProj’s upcoming April release. Thank you so much, Jason Young, for your hard work on these parts. You were great!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Thanks to everyone who came out to my record release show just this past Friday night. We packed the place and rocked the house. If you didn’t have a chance to make it up to the merch table, you can still purchase Fundamental online, from my web store. You can get the regular CD, the Limited Edition, hand-printed CD, or the digital download.

A couple of hours before the concert, I was extremely nervous about how the performance would come off. I definitely felt tense as I performed my first song. I was told, though, that none of that came across. So the night went off without a hitch [mostly], and I was happy to see that I can still draw a crowd in my home town. What’s more, I actually have friends who are willing to support my music by coming out to see me play.
A fairly recent goal of mine has been to regularly draw crowds of 100+ in DuPage County, and I think I’m moving in that direction – with your help. Please continue to demonstrate your support for what I do by coming out to concerts and buying my records.
Thank you for keeping this dream alive.
