I'm a drum machine... kind of

So I did it, I finally started my new album. Can you believe it's been almost 4 years since I released the burlap e.p.? Well it has and it's time to put out some new music.
I'm doing the whole album in this nice little studio I like to call "the unit". It's located in an RV storage unit on the wrong side of town and it kind of smells like old beer but for the next while it's where i'll call home. Over the last two weeks i've mostly been working on recording the drum tracks. I was lucky enough to have my friend Jordan Wood from "A Dream Too Late" come in and play drums for a few of the songs. He helped me to realize how great real drummers can be. I played drums on the rest of the album which at times was a little more then comical. I can usually hear the parts that I want to play in my head, but getting my hands and feet to do them is a whole different story.

The album will be released mid to late June and I'll be sure to let you know where you can pick it up. I'm really excited about the collection of songs on this album. A lot of the songs are ones that were written and posted on this very blog, songs that you few followers were the first to hear. I'm very thankful for all the inspiration and insight that I got from you guys. I am forever in your debt.

Hollywood California...

Hello Everyone,

Long time, no blog. Things got pretty crazy over the last few weeks. Between easter, leaving for LA and starting a new album I haven't had much time to devote to you guys... I am truly sorry.
LA was amazing... Like really amazing, It was great to catch up with old friends. This might sound funny but I was reminded about how much I love music when I was down there. How exciting it is to take risks with the things you love, and to have people right along side of you who are all risking just as much.
I had the amazing privilege of playing a show at this club called "The Mint". It to was amazing, lots of people came out to support us even though it was a sunday night. I was lucky enough to have the very talented Olivia Henry sing on "Don't walk away" and Jon did a little beat box number on "babylon".
I will try and post some videos soon but until then I hope these pictures will do.

Casey
