I couldn’t be more excited to go into the studio next week. I’ll be recording a full album’s worth of material at Blackwatch Studio’s in Norman OK for a project I’ve named Shades of Jackson. It’s a collection of singer songwriter, alt-country, rootsy tunes I started writing last November. The band will be Chad Copelin on Key’s, Jarod Evans on guitar, James McAlister on Drums, John Spiker on Bass and myself on guitars and lap/pedal steel guitar. I’ll be doing posts over each band member in the following days as well as posting a couple of the demo’d tunes. This record will represent exactly where I am as a writer and musician right now. I love these guys and can’t wait to make some music with them. I look forward to sharing it with everyone once the project is finished which is slated for somewhere around the beginning of January. In the meantime, I just created a twitter page for the project (@shadesofjackson) so if you’de like to follow what we’re up to you can do it there. Thanks!!
