...and We Will Chase Horizons

Here is the first song from today's session with the boys. This one is titled Horizons. It is an upbeat rocker and will probably lead off Dylan's album. Be sure to check out his blog for updates on his album:

You Will Know Who You Are In The End

I got together with Dylan, Marcin and Cullen to work on songs for Dylan's forthcoming album What To Keep and Let Go. In this episode of the podcast we are performing In The End. You would think that we had been practicing this song for quite some time but the take you hear here is the 3rd and final of the night... and ever for that matter. haha. The four of us really gelled.

Mid Tempo Bluesy Rocker

We also came up with a few other little riffs and jams. There is a mid tempo bluesy rocker in the podcast as well. Check 'em out!

The Sweetest Sound

I got together with Chesley and Mark for a jam session and I brought out my sexy blues song with the provisional title "The Sweetest Sound." I'm still working on the lyrics for the tune but you can get the idea of the song in the podcast. The tempo will be a bit faster.

Meet Me Halfway

UPDATE

Next week I will be working with Kris Jimos on the new song "Meet me Halfway." It is a piano ballad which I'm trying to give a hip hop back beat. There's a demo with me on vocals on today's podcast if you'd like to hear a sample. I will post some clips of us in the studio. In the mean time, like I said, check out the podcast.
