Tracking a demo at the Tree House Studio!

I don't have a whole lot of time to write, so this one will be mostly pictures and a tune!

I went into the studio the other day with some incredible people who also happen to be killer musicians to record a demo of a tune that I wrote a while back with my good friend, Jodi Palmer. The tune is called Polly Andrey.

We had Tim Carter, of the awesome Tree House Studio and the Carter Brothers, running all the fancy recording gear and playing the banjo:

The oh so talented, Brad Folk, playing guitar:

Of course Ruby was there to supervise:

And now, you can listen to what we came up with here:

Stay posted for more adventures in the future!

First full week in Nashville...

So far, so good. There is so much going on all the time. I think I've been out almost every single night since I've been here... save for the night I snuck away to the State Park to spend a little time in the woods.

First official gig as a Nashville resident... also first official gig of February: I'll be playing this Thursday (Feb 2nd) at Bootleggers on Broadway at 6pm with a fella named Tyson Alteri and a handful of other folks (Aaron Till, John Tomlin, Robert Trapp). There will be lots of other awesome bands after that too, so if you live in the Nashville area, come make a night of it!

Driving across the country on the way here was beautiful as usual, and it was nice to break up the drive by stopping by a few radio stations on the way. A big thanks to Ida Jane and Jake in Missouri! On top of that, I got to visit the Bluegrass Museum in Owensboro Kentucky! Now that place has a lot of awesome stuff in it! If you haven't been there, I strongly suggest that you go.

Finally, I'll finish up with some pictures I took of signs along the way.

I think taking pictures of signs along the way will become a fun activity for long drives. If you have any themes you'd like to recommend for certain parts of the country, just shoot me a message on facebook!

Hope everyone has a great week and a wonderful February!
