I just added a discography page over there on the side bar. I will link up some samples of each one in the near future, but there are already some samples on most of the artists’ websites you can listen to for now. I’ve lost track of a couple of the records I played on that I didn’t list. I was hired for the day and never kept up with the producer or artist. I’ll have to do some research to figure it all out.
Finishing up Matt Nathanson’s record
// December 28th, 2005It looks like we are going to finish up Matt’s record in L.A. the first half of February. Maybe have it mixed in March and probably have it out this summer or possibly LATE spring. But don’t quote me on that. Matt says this new batch of songs are the best so far and that’s great considering that we have already recorded some great ones. I can’t wait to make my mark on them.

Ok, I am very opinionated politically but I would like to keep this site music related. I’ll take exception here because this is so hilarious that I couldn’t pass up posting it. I think everyone except the most humorless Bush zealots will find this funny. It is obviously edited and slighty juvenile, but who cares.
You either need to be a Salon.com member or click through an ad to get a day pass to see the original, so I took the liberty of uploading the file to my server so you don’t have to jump through the hoops.

My MySpace
// December 26th, 2005I am adding a link to my myspace page on my sidebar, so go check it out and friend me.
New Content
// December 24th, 2005Well this is still a temporary site, but I have posted some new content. Check out the listening room to hear some songs I played on featuring Tenlons Fort, Craig Marshall, Elizabeth Wills, Blu Sanders and David Garza.
I have all my Del.icio.us bookmarks listed.
Also there is a gear page and a page that links to some people I have worked with in the past.
Tenlons Fort
// December 22nd, 2005I’m part of a project/band/person named Tenlons Fort. It was my first crack at engineering and co-producing. I have a couple of tracks on my myspace page, but you can also hear some on the Tenlons Fort MySpace page.
Catching Up
// December 22nd, 2005I am so bad about keeping up with posts. The shorter version of the last few months.
We kicked ass on the fall tour. Matt sold out tons of huge venues like the House of Blues in Chicago, Irving Plaza in NYC, three nights at the Paradise Rock club in Boston, two nights at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the 9:30 club in D.C. Every show across the country was full or sold out, and we have never sounded better.
I played almost every night of the tour with Kate Earl, who was one of the openers, Matt Wertz was the other opener. Oh my god, she is so good. I had a great time doing our duo show, bass violin and piano/vocal. I bowed most of the set and I had total musical freedom. We did some shows as a trio with Jason McKenzie on drums. The guys from Incubus played on Kate’s record. I’m really impressed how well those guys can play. I learned a lot about myself playing with Kate and I hope to do more shows with her in the future.
I just played some shows with Patrice Pike. I played with her for a year or so before I joined up with Matt. We were also in a band called Sister 7 together. I left that band in the early 90′s and then went on to play with David Garza. I was just subbing for my friend Brad Houser, the guy who took my place once I left. He was out doing some shows with his side project Critters Buggin.
I’ve got several recording projects in January. Houston Marchaman, Craig Marshall and more recording with Matt Nathanson.
Plus I am going to remix or produce Patrice’s live show. Not sure what you call it, but I am helping her redo her solo show by programming new beats and general racket for her to play with when she is by herself on stage. She also wants to utilize it with her band shows. I’m a huge Bjork fan and her Matmos era live show will be an influence on how I put this together.
I am redoing my website. I just can’t decide if I want to go back to the old blog I had or do a heavy duty static content site. Either way I plan on putting up lot’s of music.
