CD Progess

As I type, I am listening to the final proof for the CD. It is a long process, but one I love. I love making music, and ever since I was a kid I wanted to make records.

The cover art looks amazing thanks to Heidi Rolfe and Nina DeRubertis. The two collaborated to develop an amazing image and concept to go along with the music. I am very happy with the results.
The image is from my back steps. I don't remember Nina taking the photo, because each step takes so much concentration for me. For Heidi to understand that as she went through Nina's shots was amazing.  This single image illustrates the struggles I face everyday, and the overall theme of the CD as I slowly climb these rusty old stairs.

Musically I love how this collection finally came together. I tried to rely on the strength of these songs and my simple performances. This CD is a folk music CD.  It is built around the acoustic guitar and my vocals with some basic additions when called for. On song, "Coffee" is complimented by a great shuffle of brushes by drummer David Cowan, whom I went to Heights High School with. His work is amazing and maintains the overall feel of the whole CD.

Right now I am hearing the final 2 songs, and feeling very happy that this disc is something special.

I have also been working on the website in preparation for the release, and am waiting on post cards, posters, mailing supplies, and download cards of my back catalog.
I am so excited for the Cain Park show and hoping for a big turn out. But I also know that all I am doing now is laying the foundation for a much brighter future. Cain Park is just one night.
With the release of "Coverage" and the upcoming release of "Little By Little" I have two collections of music that I am very proud of.

Little By Little I am gettin' back to the me that I once knew.
