Hey,

I know I've posted before. I've finally done it, the cd I have been working on and writing for the past 3 years is almost done. I've been working with a new producer in Pawtucket RI, whose managed to get the sound I wanted out of the songs and make me work harder. I also found a perfect guitar player to accompany my lyrics. The cd contains 11 songs ranging from "hip/hop inspired tracks, blues, rock, and folk" It's quite a mix but the songs flow really well and I am very proud and pleased with the quality and sound.

Track Listing:

Crossroads- An acoustic driven rock song with blues riffs kick off the cd.
You and I- A Reggae flavored track features a violinist and rap from my cousin on it.
Stay- A blues dance song that has guitar with a muted tone and some killer organ. Very fun to groove too. My two year old daughter loves to dance to it.
The Waltz- A song for my daughter, just a great song about her.
Never Enough- A hip-hop style revenge sorta song about relationships and never feeling enough for anyone. Some killer guitar in it as well and the vocal effect lil Wayne uses in every song. A lot more aggressive.
Horizon- A song about dreams, the only one I wrote the riff for.
I Want You Near- mid-tempo goo goo dolls type of song. Great violin and guitar parts through out the song. Solo that make you think of 'Put Your Lights On"
Fight, Fight, Fight- Very Aggressive, centered around an old style blues inspired riff.
I've Been Waiting- A more punk sounding song. Another I'm over you song.
Re-Run- Up Lifting, good time song. More folksy sound to it.
Counting Down the Days (Working Title)- Kinda of Jazz oriented track.

I have new samples posted on my music myspace featuring the vocal and beat tracks for Horizon, Never Enough and an almost done version of The Waltz as well.

I will be playing a few dates this summer. The first is going to be at MCLA in North Adams, Ma on May 3rd I'll be part of a music festival supporting the local radio station. I know some of you listened to my NIN type cover of Go Insane. We will be doing some covers .... maybe Oh Well and Second Hand News.
