"SIDEWALKS (FEAT. ALLISON GREY)" SINGLE RELEASED!

The lead single from the upcoming record is "Sidewalks" and is a duet with my very good friend Allison Grey.   The song is for the homeless and is my very first duet.   It's been an honor and pleasure to work with her on my new record and to introduce her and her voice to the world.

Studio Diary #6

Tonight was a very special night in the studio.   Alli came in and recorded her vocals for the single.   It was kind of a magical moment and she loved it and sounded great and we also started working on another song together.  

This record is still very much in it's beginning phases but i can already tell it's going to be a huge departure from other things i have done.   I've no idea when the release date will be but I'm trying to finish the single before christmas.

Studio Diary #5

the full demo for the first single has been recorded.   i've rewritten the melody and lyrics 3 different times so far but the chorus of the song has been the same since day one.  later this week my friend and i will have lots and lots of drinks together and record the full demo together which is super exciting!

Studio Diary #4

i think there's 11 rough cut demos so far.   it will be exciting to get to know these songs before going in and cutting the record.  the demos are just babies at this point and i've no idea what they will become.     on a side note, i also re-recorded 'xmas vacation.'   had a fun time with that, got to blow off some steam!

Studio Diary #3

7 and a half rough demos cut so far for the record.  it's still early on in the process so i can't really tell what kind of a record it will be.   i don't believe there will be any covers.   and i'm not diving into my older songs.   everything for this record will be songs i've written since i've lived in midtown.   don't really know what else to say right now....

Studio Diary #2

a late night of red wine and song writing.   i have 4 very rough demos recorded for this record so far.  i imagine there will be many many more.  i want this collection to be a very honest record.  focusing on the writing and melodies.   not much else to say... def in creative mode.
