New CD in the works!

Jul

So August is almost upon us and is also the month that I begin the recording process for my new CD (and first original project!)! The disc will featue Reinhardt Melz (drms), Ramsey Embick (pno) and Chris Mosley (gtr) and all original music written by yours truly. Much different from my last outing and we’re all very excited about the music… Hoping to have this project pressed and available by the end of the summer! Keep an eye out for it and keep an eye out for us live next summer as I plan on trying to take this show on the road.. these guys are killing!

Ask Damian Erskine: Good Practice?
Q: What is considered a “good” practice session?? Say, if I take an hour to practice, what should I be working on… doing warm-ups, running through set lists of songs I know, learning new material, listening and trying to imitate players I like, etc. Just trying to be as productive as possible with my [...] […]
Ask Damian Erskine: Best way to Shine?
