On some material I must say some very amazing studio artists, and friends, who's professional contributions took some of these songs to a whole new level.
Awesome Studio Artists I've had the pleasure of working on projects with, and highly recommend:
Drummers: John Daner, Heather Brugioni, David Shaw, Bruce Harris, Brian Palmer, Danny Garret, Chuck BithornPercussionists: John Daner, Heather Brugioni, and Chuck Bithorn. They add so much with so little. Tasteful is an understatement.Guitar Solos: Paul Hanson, Dan Fincham, Kenny Porter, String Harris, Frank Mavrich, and Brian Morrison. Take your pick; they are all different styles, and all deadly bad to the bone.Bass: Steve Jenkins, Timothy Fritz. Are in the pocket, and can punch you right in the chest.Sax: Johnny Banko, I have to add, that John is freaky awesome, and a perfectionist, I love it!Trumpet: We call him "Tappy" He's very accomplished, and also a perfectionist I love!
Influences: Pink Floyd, Ben Harper, The Carter Family, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Almond Brothers, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tori Amos, NIN, The Beatles, AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeplin, Live, Faith No More, Kansas, David Mathews Band, U2, Sting, The Police, R.E.M., Henry Mancini, Xylaphone, Bellefleck, The Train Jumpers, Randy Keener(The Mad Hatter) and so many more. I think I'm mainly influinced by my surroundings.
Sounds Like: A lot of different styles... it depends. It's a song for a songs sake really.
