Revisiting the tunes now. After a long hiatus I'm going back in with fresh ears to mix these tunes again. To geek out a little bit, I've got some great new gear and plugins, and it's making this time around exciting and new for me. Really hoping to release the long overdue "Songs from Apartment 4" by the end of Summer.

I am really looking forward to releasing the new album so I wanted to share some snippets of the rough mixes from the album with you all. "Songs From Apartment 4" will be coming out later this year. Have a listen...

I have been so lucky to work with many talented musicians, engineers and producers in the past, but this time I decided to take on all the creative duties. I knew that the toughest thing was going to be able to a step back and try and be a good producer and even better self-editor. I have written a lot of songs the past couple of years but not all of them made it to this album.
It has taken many hours, many drives in the car listening to the newest mixes, songs definitely being on the album then definitely not being on the album, to get where this project is today. I've become best friends with my ProTools rig, drum software, my trusty Audio Technica 4033a and I even borrowed a friend's banjo to capture what these songs sounded like in my head.
"Songs From Apartment 4" is my songwriting in its truest form. From my mind, to my guitar to the microphone to record it.
