Recordings in progress!
I was in Kelowna this weekend playing a show with bandmates, Darren Beattie and Matt Langill. We had a blast playing at Fernando’s Pub, and came away with one of the best new dance moves I have ever seen….Ask in person next time you see me for a personal demonstration….much like the Martix…you can’t be told what the dance move is…..you have to see it for yourself…..
In mid December, the boys and I traveled to Music City Studio to do a live off the floor recording with Mike Pedersen. We got a chance to go in and listen to the recordings in progress this weekend, as seen above. Matt is executing his best “thinker,” pose, Mike is at the control desk, I am wearing my jacket that matches the studio, and Darren is behind the camera. The half butt on the rug is Oscar the dog!….Anyways..
We were very excited to hear how they are turning out, and I’m thrilled to soon have some recordings that reflect what the full band sounds like. Working with Mike has been fantastic, and I highly recommend this experience to any musician. The amount that I have learned from just that one session is incredible – Recording, especially live with full band, is an exercised skill! Can’t wait to get in there and do it again :).
Stay tuned for tunes….
Recording Band EP Dec. 12th in Kelowna!
Oh Happy Day!!!! I am very pleased to announce that this weekend, these fine chaps (Darren Beattie and Matt Langill – men who obviously like their cheese!) and I will be heading into Music City Studio in Kelowna, BC to record 6 songs with Studio owner, Mike Pedersen. It will include 4 new songs I have never released, and will give new full band life to 2 songs which have previously been on other recordings. Any speculations? hehe.
I have never recorded live off the floor with a band in studio before, and am so thrilled for this adventure! Albums done this way usually end up being some of my favourites – most recently Sister Speak’s Rise Up For Love, and Richie and the Poor Boys Off The Floor. LOVE THESE ALBUMS!! AHHHHH!!!
Can’t wait to share this project with you all :). More info and updates about the recording after this weekend!
