This is my second full length album. It’s been a few years since my last release, and I’ve been thinking about this project for a long time. After ending up a finalist at the 2015 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, I decided it was time get these tracks recorded. So I spent the summer with Gary King at Refraze studios (Dayton, OH) recording this CD. I usually play solo but I had a rhythm section on this one: Brian Hoeflich on drums and Leo Smith on bass. After Gary King finished the mixing, the tracks were mastered by Kevin Nix at ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. The cover photo was taken in the Orpheum Theatre by Kelly Thornton at the 2015 International Blues Challenge Finals. To publicize the release of this album, I was fortunate enough to be signed with Betsie Brown of Blind Raccoon. I want thank everyone I worked with throughout the process of getting this project completed, I think it went really well. So I hope you like it, and I’ll see you around.
