Happy to announce that I’ll be going in the studio with The Cold Stares. http://www.myspace.com/thecoldstares Fantastic, dirt floor, indie blues duo poised to break out in 2011. Chris Grainger http://www.myspace.com/graingermusic will be engineering this one. Do yourself a favor – listen to their stuff and see their live show before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon! Keep you posted…

Working with the super cool Black Girls in Space on their song “Mario Van Peebles.” This is the first instrumential track I’ve done and way more back beats than I’m used to. Watch for this song coming soon to a movie, whose name I can’t mention right now, this summer. I’ll try to post in the media section if I get the green light.
Great day in the studio with Carly Jamison today. So awesome to have the enigmatic Dan Baird http://www.myspace.com/thedanbaird on Guitar. He is the real deal holy field and is such a joy to be around. Here’s a video of some shenanigans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEqlNOP7QXU
