Hey Everybody!
I'm seeking songs for the next album, so please send some my way, if you have a song you would like to hear me sing, or if you think I can do it some justice. You know how to find me.
I first asked this question in my Bandcamp Community, so if you are one of those folks who wants the "inside scoop" - you might want to follow me over there.
Speaking of albums, Arne appears to be almost finished with final mixes for The Blues Project album. not sure what they will be calling it, so stay tuned for that one. It was recorded live at Yoshi's and the Rancho Nicasio, and the tracks sound great! The art of recording live. if you know anyone who wants to apprentice, and learn from a master of this specialized craft, let me know.
