We've mostly been recording vocals lately, but we still have a few musicians coming into the studio. There's something undeniably special about recording a whole band at once but it's also really cool in a different way to work with one musician at a time. Each person brings some new magic to the songs. Usually when they first start playing and warming up in the studio, I want to say let's just record them playing their own music! Because they're all so great. It just makes me want to make a whole album of drums, or a whole album of saxophone... someday :) Then when these beautiful people blend their playing into my songs, I'm made even more aware of how each person is contributing a part of their own being to the song. Sometimes music is just so amazing that it doesn't even seem real.
I wanted to share with you the work of some of the most recent guests we've had at our sessions. A couple of weeks ago, Seamus Egan of the awesome Celtic band Solas came by to play on a couple of songs. Here's a great video from Solas where they all seem to be having so much fun.
And last weekend, we had Tom Tallitsch in to record saxophone on a different track that I can't wait for you to hear. For now, here's a clip of Tom performing his own beautiful music.
