I’m currently planning live events and album releases for 2024. This means a great deal of organisation. I’ve long learned that strategic planning and collboration are crucial if you want to get your music heard. This means consistant activity on many fronts and a lot of time and financial investment.
Covering these tracks volume II
Covering these Tracks Vol II
We are currently working on the second “Covering these tracks” albums, which will feature tracks by Nick Cave, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Fred Eaglesmith, Steve Earle and others. The tracks will continue to be guitar from Harry Orme, Corwin Zekley on violin and myself and Towse on vocals.
I know these tracks really well, but recording them gives a totally new insight into how these songwriters work which is truly fascinating. With Bruce Springsteen I notice how he has a great focus on rhythm and telling stories. Stepping into the world of Joni Mitchell is only for the brave and bold, again a really magical experience. The recording strategy is the same, Harry lays down guitar, I record vocals in my studio, the files then go to my producer Carl. He then sends them to Towse. Once we get those back we do a mix and send to Corwin and then do a final mix and master! The album will be distributed via Green Eyed Records.
