SXSW was great fun this year. I started it off on Tuesday with two shows. I played an 83 year old church
in the santuary. They lit us about 60 candles and made it a reall special setting. I shared the bill with Graham Weber, Vanessa Lively, Aly Tadros, Gina Chavez, Chloe Charles.
Then I raced over to do an "in the round" with Danny Schmidt, Sam Baker and Andrew Pressman. We were also joined on stage by Anthony Da Costa, Raina Rose and Carrie Elkin. We had great fun playing songs together on stage.
It was an all around magical night of music. The other performers include, Steve Poltz, Southpaw Jones, Matt the Electrician, Ananis Mitchell, John Elliott, Anthony Da Costa, Nels Andrews, Robby Hecht, Danny Malone, Rachel Reis,
Chuck E. Costa, Anna Vogelzang, Matt Fockler, Carrie Elkin, Vanessa Lively, Jack WIlson, Rebecca Loebe and Andrew Pressman.
The Calm Waters of Youth. Released in October of 2010. A collection of songs about based around youth.
I recorded a handful of songs with my friend Dan Edwards in 2009 the day
before he was forced to head back to
the UK due to his visa expiring.
Some Say Leland field recordings
volume I: The Abandoned State School.
We recorded this project by candle light. It truly captures this band and this room.
I recorded a field recording project on the Annie Street Arts Collective label. It consists of amazing artists I have encountered, mainly in Austin, but some from other cities as well. There is some serious magic on this record. We will be
releasing it in Sept. of 2010.
In July of 2010 we recorded a Country
Willie album. Country Willie is an amazing
songwriter and a true one-of-a-kind.
Look for it to be released in the fall of
2010.
In 2009 I produced the debut CD of Austin's incredible band, The Electric Rotten Apple Mountain Gang. A unique blend of bluegrass and thrash. Check 'em out!
Ron Scott is an underground legend in
Austin. This is a collection of his songs covered by other singer/songwriters. The project was headed up by Johann Wagner. I recorded 3 tracks on this
record in 2010.
Most everything I do online is on this
site, but of course you can always
find me at the following places.
My youtube channel is pretty rad.
