So, How’s That Album Coming?
Hey y’all!
I realized I’ve been updating twitter and facebook have been neglecting you, my shweet little website. So, here’s my loving on you – a short and sweet post on how the new (debut) album is progressing.
What started out as an idea in February of last year took off with recording in July and then was yanked to a stop with the birth of my son Grayson. No hard feelings towards him…He couldn’t help his own birthday throwing a wrench in the works! Haha! Albeit it as it may, I love him dearly and wouldn’t trade him back in for anything, even a brand new MacBook Pro (hmmm…lol). Life has just now reached the point of normal that is the “new normal” as my wife and I refer to it. I am still working full time as a barista but am now returning my energies into seeing this marathon through to the end. I’ve booked studio time for the 19th and 26th of this month and hope to wrap up the guitar and vocals. After that I’ll be shipping it down to my friend Simon for final mixing and mastering. My friends at local Lancaster design firm, The Infantree, will be hitting me up with the CD package design at the end of the month and we can hopefully start manufacturing the hard copies at the end of March! We’re in the home stretch!
I’m so excited to have shared this journey with you all through twitter and even personally to an extent. With the way things are shaping up, I think we will reward ourselves for all the hard work with a super sweet release party in April! Sound good to you? Stay tuned through the next three months – I’ll keep you updated on all things album!
Thanks again for listening and supporting me guys! It means the world to me that you love on my music and I.
Yours Ever,
Ben
