The 2012 Taste of Tippecanoe cycle has started & we had our first two meetings last Monday night. I'm pretty psyched about what the line-up is going to be. I'll give more info when everything is finalized...
In IND news:
The crew & I had another couple days of practice last week starting at 9am. Nothing wakes me up like gallons of coffee and rock 'n roll!
Funny-ish story:
We were grilling steaks, chicken, & potatoes on the back porch after Thursday's practice when a call came in from Grant Mohrman (Mix Engineer for the 'Whistle When We Break Down' EP) wanting some guitar feedback for the track he was working on.
Luckily, the boys know their way around a grill & finished up lunch while I got everything in order to record.
Here's a clip featuring the sweet camera & space-bar work of Chris Parker & the killer feedback work of my Rhodes Amplification Dishaster 4790 guitar amp.
After editing the track a bit, I promptly emailed it to Method House Studios in Detroit.
Technology rules.
Outside of practice, I got a couple of opportunities to get out of the house to jam this week too.
Wednesday night I went down to Lafayette Live Open Mic at the Lafayette Theater to bust out some songs.
Here's the set:
"Pocket and Soul"
"Before it Gets to Me"
"Settling"
"Out of Our Hands"
Kudos to my buds in Arch Drive Goodbye and The Mound Builders for hanging out!
On Sunday I got to share the stage with DJ Powder, Snorb!, and The Clutter for the Home with Hope's benefit show at the Tippecanoe Co. Amphitheater. I had a blast hanging out with everyone and getting to play for a great cause!Here's the set:
"Pocket and Soul"
"Before it Gets to Me"
"Settling"
"Out of Our Hands"
"Faithfully" - Journey cover
"Dear Reason"
Before last week, it had been a bit since I'd been out to play my tunes. So, I got busy adding some more shows to the calendar to keep the fun rolling. Though I'll chat about them more when the dates approach, I've added info to the Shows Page if you'd like to plan ahead.
That does it for it for the weekly update. As always, thanks again for stopping by!
Over and out
