Ever get into a project and say to yourself
“If I’d known how hard this was going to be……” ?
I’m there.
Here’s a quick recap, and a couple of reminders:
Joey Stuckey will be producing the album – which is officially called “It OUGHT to be called CHRISTmas”. Out of the 10-12 tunes on the album, 5 will have a band with me – a different band for each tune. This should be a lot of fun!
- Dan Wallace on bass
- Chet Burchfield on upright bass
- Vadim Volynets on cello
- Marcus Reddick on drums
- Miguel Castro on drums
- Brian Bogle on a variety of saxes
- Pam Rule on vocals, but not the way you’re thinking right now!
We are trying to get the sessions scheduled right now, and it’s been a bit of a bear, between all the work and studio and vacation and other schedules that we’re working around. The nice thing is that we have some flexibility in HOW we go about recording – we’d PREFER to record “live” – i.e. the entire group there at the same time – but in most cases isn’t absolutely mandatory.
Plans at the moment are to release a DIGITAL version of the album in late September, and then a PHYSICAL CD version with bonus material in October.
Finally, a quick reminder that members of the Tom Tribe are getting additional updates on the process, free tracks, discount codes at the Tom Store, and over $100 worth of free music just for joining.
