Back to the grind and good times

I 've the chance to work on a lot of cool projects this last week.

The Doldrums; A new 2 piece group (drums and guitar) that was started by a few members of a local Seattle band, Moon Pulls the Ocean. They played their first show at The Vera Project on February 5th and we ended up getting a recording of the show for them. I will possibly work with them on an EP.

MoE; More amazing local Seattle music! She's only played a few shows around the puget sound so far (due to full time school and work). She plays very heartfelt tunes that are generally up-beat and catchy and have touches of her spontaneous humor all throughout. After listening to her tracks, you can really get a feel for who she is as a person and her outlook on life. Currently she has dozens of great self-produced songs that she recorded on her laptop over the years, featuring a lot of her twin sister Jessie and her friend Court CWell. You can check them out at http://www.reverbnation.com/moea

A demo is in the works and we'll hopefully be working on a full length in the near future with full instrumentation, layers upon layers of vocal harmonies, guest appearances from Jessie along with other musically inclined friends, and (most likely) rad one-of-a-kind album art. Stay tuned!

Josh Powell and Jaimee Garbacik;
Friend's of mine at The Vera Project. These couple tunes served as a surprise for Jaimee, Josh's beloved girlfriend, on her birthday. Guitars were previously recorded by Josh, the man with the plan. Then, Jaimee was slyly brought in to the Vera with her Dad (visiting from the east coast) for a tour, and Josh surprised her were her first ever studio recording experience. Lots of fun was had and I had to edit out a lot of giggling in between vocal lines. Project concluded.

Other projects that have been in the works;

-Rare Birds and Rosemary full length
-Sammy Fuller - Producing and recording her original songs
