Preparing For The Last Full Band Session...

So we're set to hit the studio as a group on Saturday, March 20th with a goal to get Hello, Amy and the Ask You ending wrapped. How we do it EXACTLY is yet to be determined. With mic limitations and a few parts not quite clear and decided, we're not sure a full live take of Hello, Amy is going to cut it. If not, we are prepared to do it in pieces but the idea of playing spontaneously, in the moment and just "feeling it" has always been my concept behind this song and with the guys in the band; being most likely the last time we all get together for this particular project, it feels like it would be extra special to get this song done as a whole, together and finished up- an homage, if you will, to our year of full band practices together! Of course, there are piano pieces left on some songs for Marcin to come in for but Saturday will basically be the last session for us as a band on What To Keep & Let Go. I look forward to working all day with these guys and documenting the conclusion of this musical journey together. It's been so incredible and worthwhile. Saturday will be a celebration of our collaborative efforts and a tribute to these guys' dedication in helping me realize this long awaited project of mine.

Here is a full practice take of Hello, Amy recorded on February 28th.
