Spent a wonderful day at Mountainside Studio in Charlottesville yesterday putting down the beginnings of a new Isaac Hadden record. This day of studio time came as a gift from a generous friend of the band who won it in Jon Stickley’s “Chords for Callum” charity auction. It’s amazing where the cosmic web of energy can lead us.

We are taking our time with it, chipping away as budgets and schedules allow, but felt amazing to start putting some things on wax. Thankful to the band, Jeff Sipe, John Ray, and Daniel Combs for their ideas and talents and thankful to James McGlaughlin for his calm, friendly, and effective engineering. In the meantime, come see us on the road!
