Wow, have I been busy. Between planning Rock at the Rock, rehearsing with The Cables, writing new songs and doing some studio time it has been really busy and exciting.
The Cables actually have a gig coming up tomorrow, Friday night, down at The Horseshoe on Lincoln. We will hit at around 11pm so if you happen to be in the area, drop by to hear some new bluesy, folky, rocky jams.
Meanwhile, I've been working with my awesome producer friend, Ken Ross, on laying down some tracks in his Wicker Park home studio. Getting set to record some vocals this weekend and it will be completely exhilarating. It feels so great to use the piano to write again--it had been so long since I wrote a song starting with the keys. I haven't been this psyched in a while. Check out this track and music video for "New World" off of Ken's last release, Zzzz
With midterms on the horizon here at Northwestern, I am still going downtown Saturday night to interview The Rosebuds at Schubas for WNUR. The band, most well-known perhaps for opening for Bon Iver, will be headlining this weekend and I will have the opportunity to sit down with the North Carolina-based duo. Their new album, Loud Planes Fly Low is incredibly relaxing, with a mix of male and female vocals and chilled-out instrumentals. I will play the interview on my next radio show from 2-4pm on CST on WNUR.
Between artist interviews, writing for CollegeDJ, and recording and gigging with my own stuff, I am delightfully busy.
Now to plan out studying for midterms.
Peace.Love.Music
