Me and the band had a productive and enjoyable session at Edmonton’s Department 9 studios in early March with pal and studio wonderboy Stew Kirkwood behind the board. We laid down some live-off-the-floor versions of songs off of my upcoming album Morning Stars Mournings Hush. The videos will be released on my YouTube channel over the course of the summer.

In addition to drummer Mike Silverman, bassist Tom Murray and vocalist/keyboardist Alice Kos, I was joined by my dear friends (and Idyl Tea bandmates) Hank Engel and Craig Metcalfe who happened to be in Edmonton, so they dropped by the session to lend a hand. Great to see them, as always, and great to be making music with them again as well!
