Studio Update – Day 6

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

We parted nashville about 4 hours ago and are now driving through some heavy snowfall as we make the detour around the rockslide on I-40.

We wrapped up vocals & bkg’s around 3am before we hit the road for the trip back to North Carolina.

Still amazed we got 4 songs tracked during our short visit in Nashville. Stay tuned for digital and physical release dates.

Studio Update – Day 4

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

It’s been an amazing experience here in Nashville recording our debut ep. It’s amazing that no one had heard these songs before making the trip.

Post production and ear candy is pretty much under wraps. Oran laid down some sweet lead lines, while Trevor added some keys.

Taylor spent most of the day writing lyrics @ Starbucks while Ledbetter cranked out some work. The vocals are being laid down now, and Taylor’s killing it.

Can’t wait for everyone to hear this stuff.

Studio Update – Day 2

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

We had a great session today at OmniSound Studios. The 4 songs tracked fell on virgin ears for the players. Using the Nashville number system, everything went smooth.

We were fortunate enough to have Fred Eltringham lay down the drums (Wallflowers) , Pete on Bass, Ledbetter & Taylor on rhythm guitar as well as Trevor Thornton laying down some acoustic.

Tommorrow we head to Oranje Studios to complete additional tracking, ear candy & vocal production.
