We are finally on the verge of our second album release, this time recorded with our full band lineup: Jason Smith on bass, Jennifer Ng on drums, Will Bilton on keys, along with me and Rich.  This will be a completely different record than the first, a truly collaborative effort with some world-class musicians!

But a collaborative effort can be much more difficult to pull off.  Getting five different people from five different cities into a studio to record isn’t easy.  People get sick, people forget, people procrastinate (me), and people injure their feet.  But in the end, it will be worth it.

Expect to see our next album in time for our House of Blues Voodoo Lounge performance on August 20th (see the Gigs page for more details).
