PreRelease of Sancastles Today!! 

Awesome news!!, We're releasing a track off my new album called "Sandcastles" It’s not necessarily the single but it's my favorite song on the CD!! The whole album won’t be out until the first of the year, but I couldn’t wait any longer for this song. Sean and I wrote it about being in a relationship that you know won’t last and just finally realize it. Enjoy!! More to come soon.

Last day in the studio!! 

Hey guys we've been in the studio for the last four days, and let me tell you,  this product is the best thing I've ever been able to put my name on. All of the songs that we've recorded have taken amazing shape.  It's way past what I thought was possible. That's a great feeling.  This time around in the studio has been different.....but fun. The first day I felt like I was coming down with a cold, but I was able to sing and find a really cool tone to my voice which was a godsend. I was able to lay down all the vocals on two of the songs and everyone felt really good about them. The second day was a little less stressful because I didnt have to sing anything.  It was more of a mixing day so Chad and Chuck were super busy and I was able to rest .  Day 3 was another vocal day and by this point I was full on SICK.  Hahaha yeah pretty much the worst time possible to NOT be at the top of my game. The funny thing is, I actually found a really cool tone to my voice and was able to sing in a way I didnt know was possible. Again today, I was able to sing two full songs and fealt really good about them. (Thank God)  I went in and finished up the rest of my vocals, and the guys were really busy mixing everything down it sounds pretty fantastic!


P.S.  It's really amazing to feel so taken care of when it come to who's turing the knobs, you dont even know.

Updates on CD progress 

So we laid down 8 songs in 4 days at the saltmine studios last weekend and it was exactly what I thought it would be..... Absolutely new and different . haha I had a feeling going in there that I was going to learn a lot and adjust with the "big studio" environment. I think me and all the guys were able to do that pretty fast and that’s why we were able to accomplish as much as we did. Having that said, there is still some more work to be done. We have already booked for another weekend to go in and mix the whole thing to wrap it up!
I'm so pleased with how it’s already sounding I can’t even explain it to you. And the cool part is I don't really have to..... You can just hear it!!
The whole time we felt like we were in really good hands working with Chad and his brother Chuck. The two of them have worked on so much music together that they usually end up finishing each other’s sentences. That in itself was pretty amazing to watch.
This CD has taken the coolest turn in direction of style. It’s really nothing like anything I’ve ever done. (I know bands always say that to make people buy there album but its true) Everyone’s style came out on this one, and that just by itself is the main reason this CD is going to sound different.
Thank you for supporting, it means the world to us.

We record this week!!! 

I'm so excited to say that we go into the studio this weekend to start recording our new album!! We've been preparing for this all summer and now we're all very confident to go in and lay it down. We have our long awaited guitar player Jon McCammon flying in from St. Louis and my partner and writing genius Sean Mitchell coming in from San Diego to work on the project with us. Can’t tell you how ready I am for all of this, it’s going to be stressful, fulfilling, irritating, and beautiful at the same time.
Like I said before we'll be taking a bunch of video and pictures of the whole recording process so you guys won’t be left out of the process.

Wish us luck and we can’t wait to show you the new tunes soon.

Recording Dates booked!! 

Hey guys,
I'm so happy to say that we've booked our recording time for the beginning of October! You can expect 7 new songs with a style that you've never heard from me before. Why??? Well it’s mainly because I have a bad ass band!! And an even more bad ass writing partner (Sean Mitchell). We've been able to fuse the influences and personalities of everyone in the band into the songs that Sean and I have written. The band consist of Tony Jones (Bass), Jon McCammon (elc. guitar), Paul Leblanc(Drums). All these guys had their own views on the songs before we pieced them together. So when it came time to work on them it was so easy and fun to let everyone speak through their instruments. And let me tell you it’s the closes thing to magic that I’ve ever been a part of. I think you know when you're playing a song the right way, for me it’s when everyone in the band at the same time looks at each other and starts laughing because it sounds so good. God it’s the coolest and most humbling feeling I’ve ever known. Can’t wait to show you!

New Album! 

Hey everyone,

Sorry it's taken so long to write..I've been putting more updates on myspace and this summer has been a transition to say the least.  Currently, we are performing 4 nights a week in the greater Phoenix area and are meeting some amazing & supportive people.  Crowds are really responding to the new material, and speaking of new material...we are gearing up to track a 7 song album in mid-September with a new producer & engineer at the Saltmine Studios in Mesa Arizona.  Check out the website www.thesaltmine.com


I'll keep you all updated more as we get into the studio...now back to the pool for a refreshing beverage and a swim...later.
