I'm tracking demos for my first "solo" (read NOT IN A BAND) CD, scheduled for a Spring 2010 release. No title at this time. Songs cover a range of topics from growing disenfranchised with Christianity to out right Praise And Worship.

The Line 6 Vetta II and Variax 300 have become the defacto tools for the sessions. The BassPOD bean is lending fire to a Washburn XB125 bass, while the DM4 Distortion Modeler has also been used with an ESP LTD M350 and Gibson Les Paul Studio. The Vetta II also ran an ESP Vintage Plus through a Covington Fireplace treble booster. Drums are Tama Swingstar series with CAD drum mics (7 pak). Vocals are being tracked with MXL990 condensers and Behringer B1. Early acoustic tracks were recorded with the B1 and a Behringer B5. So far, no other electric guitar tracks have been used, making the recording nearly 100 percent Line 6.

My old band, Under Authority, played heavily throughout WV, VA, MD, OH, PA, NJ, NC, TN and TX for almost a decade. This CD follows the musical trend closely, which was often compared to Styx. Thus far, I have performed everything on this current project and will provide more updates as they come.

Hang on tight!
