We're workin' hard on the full length Everafter release. Lots of super talented guest artists such as Annie Johnson, Anthony Rosano and Shannon Leggette. More surprises to come. The band is playing great and getting really creative. A real treat for me to be pushing "record" on this one.

Fun and productive day tracking with Mike and Amy Aiken. Acoustic guitar, vocals and washboard. The guitar was a handmade Collings. Went down with no EQ. That doesn't happen without a great sounding source. And a nice healthy lunch, too ! Looking forward to the Aiken & Friends Fest in Smithfield this weekend ! Looks like the weather's going to be perfect.

July is shaping up to be a crazy month. Still tracking and mixing for Annie Johnson, final mix tweaks for the Gayla Robinson debut release, tracking vocals with Calista for some new Giano tracks, edits and mixing for the next Mike Aiken project and installing a new API console along with lots of cool upgrades for Michael Marquart's private Virginia Beach studio. I guess I can sleep in August...maybe.
