The Planets: New Record Almost Done!

Back in November (2009) I began a new record with Colorado music scene veterans and songwriters Ted Mentry and Allison Hawkins. Their band and original music project The Planets can be found playing gigs all over Colorado…

Pre-production was a blast. We dug in and collaborated to come up with some really cool production ideas for their tunes. Basic tracks were recorded at Immersive Studios with session players Christian Teele on drums and Chris Engleman on bass.

After a break for the holidays we came back and have worked on overdubs over the past several months. I’m excited to report we’re nearly finished and mixing is scheduled in a couple of weeks!

Also appearing on the project are Steve Johnson on keys, Leo Vigil on percussion and Sheryl Renee on background vocals.

I have also started pre-production on an EP for singer-songerwriter Olivia Rudeen as well as a new record for Melissa Axel and James Jacoby. Spring is going to be awesome and filled with a lot of great new music!
