New Music Coming October 6th! 

3 SONG SLICES was recorded and produced in Nashville by Teddy Morgan at Creative Workshop studio and will be released October 6th. The songs also feature Iowa friend and guitar wizard Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown). Mastered in Nashville by the uber-talented Richard Dodd (George Harrison, Tom Petty, Alan Parsons). On a personal note, my mother passed away after a cancer battle this year and these songs are dedicated to her. I think she would have liked them and it was important to me to write, record and release them in 2023. To get the new music first, please signup for emails on the homepage. Thanks!

 

 

Summer 2023 

So I just recorded a few new songs with old friend Teddy Morgan in Nashville. Boss lady had a work conference in music city recently and we were able to sneak in a day of studio time. Stolen audio moments squeezed into beautifully full lives. To my ear, these new songs are a natural continuation of last years AUTUMN EP. I'm really happy with the new sounds and you can already tell from the roughs that we got something good. It's taken 30 years to get efficient enough to track songs quickly with talented music friends helping out. Most of my time is in the writing process, but there's certainly a lot to be said for being confident and experienced enough to record songs live in a few takes. For me, the magic and life of a recording is often captured best very near the birth of the song. When you have a hard deadline, you're forced to make quick gut decisions and I like working that way. It reinforces the concept of these song recordings being a document of time and place. I'm happy I was able to document more of them with Teddy in 2023. At the end of the day, I'm still compelled to get these songs out of my head and into the world. By my count, this will be recorded song numbers 105, 106 and 107. Been at it for a while now:)

I'm not sure yet how or where I'll be releasing these new songs, but make sure you sign up for my emails on the home page. You'll be the first to know and I only send 3-4 emails a year. Have a great Summer and thanks for checking in. KP
