Recording
We hope this post finds you well! We continue to track for the next CD. There are a lot of influences that are emerging with the songs. Some may be pretty obvious if you know us well and some are a bit subtle.
As we reflect upon the lyrics we can see themes emerging. We address loss, time, new beginnings, and leaving worries behind.
It’s really a pleasure to take the songs and collectively “grow them” in the recording process. We look forward to playing these songs for you down the road.
Stay tuned!
