Running Creek 2012. I seriously can't put into words how amazing of a time I had out in the wilderness. 

The Nichols brothers, the Oakley brother, Ben, and myself all had a fantastic time getting back to our roots. Garrett filmed material for the music video for the first single and we shot quite a bit of extra material that will come out as support for the record as well. 

One more week until I make the drive down south to start tracking for the record. Pre-production has been great, and I can't wait to see what Ben and I can come up with to make this release a true reflection of who we are and what we've always wanted to do.

Thank you for all of your support and I look forward to sharing all of this goodness soon,

Things have been picking up quite a bit this winter season. I'm working on setting up a live video session to film this winter, setting the dates for starting actual record production with Ben down in the Houston area, and helping Connor Oakley with his upcoming EP featuring a very special guest vocalist that I'm excited to hear. 

Purchased a new Special 20 harmonica for the record, so that's where all of my free time has been going over the past few days. Very excited to see how much I can master this ol' thing by the time the record is released.

Looking forward to all of the good new things coming up.

So I think hesitantly, writing the blueprint for the entire record is finished. I have 13 songs written and completed, all there is to do now is tweak them and mold them to make all of the songs have meaning, substance, and continuity. 

I know without a doubt that I'll continue to write for the record, and substitute other songs into the record as I write, then release the ones that didn't make it as a B-sides after the album is released.

It gets pretty surreal when you see it on paper that you've got 13 songs waiting on you for a full length.

Can't wait to share the new songs with y'all!
