Ground

* Saves the Day is selling our self-titled EP on the road as they tour with Sense Fail and Emmanuel. Saves' Pete Parada - aka The Undertaker - aka Dr. KungFU - but more often aka Sneaky Pete from Saves the Day and Face to Face, sat in with us on drums.*Reed on Ground:Ground is a keyboard-based powerpop trio with me, Reed Black, writing the songs/lyrics and playing keys; Stephanie Sanders singing backup vocals and playing bass; and Dawn McGrath playing drums. Our band was on hiatus for two years while I played keyboards and sang backup vocals in the studio and then on tour with Saves the Day. CMJ in 2004 and a Concert for Kerry were the last appearances we did together, after about 200 shows on 4 continents, TV and radio appearances, life in the fast lane.After one final appearance on their new B-Sides record, Ups & Downs, I came back to NYC where Stephanie and I re-assembled Ground bringing in Dawn McGrath on drums to make a keyboard trio. We started playing shows every week or two in the city.Since then we’ve been working on songs for a new album, which I'm pretty excited about. We’ve been working at Shabby Road Studio in Brooklyn with producer Roger Greenawalt (Ben Kweller, No Doubt) and composing, taking a quick break to play a show here and there. I’ve gotten really excited about working on my home demos, and after they're mixed by Marc Jacob Hudson, we'll posting them as an EP on the website.
