Drum Loop Project: Chill thing

We recorded this live for Balcony TV and it didn't go exactly to plan.  Alex got there late, it started to rain, the vocal chain was screwed and the guitar mic got knocked off-center before this take.  In the end, I think it still sounds kind of cool.

Featuring Mark Yoakum being the most ridiculous person ever.  

Engineered/Mixed by Jeremy Abrams/Ian Lutz

CASEY HOPKINS TRIO- RUN (LIVE 2013)

This was captured by ONE microphone OUTSIDE.  I pop my A string literally less than 20 seconds in.  It messed up my tuning for the rest of the gig.  Still a cool track to listen to and a fun night full of a lot of beer.  Dylan Fernandez on bass, Patrick Walsh on Drums, Chris Cope on Keys, me on guitar.  

Brennan Curtin recorded this bad boy.  


Casey Hopkins- Five String Blues (Jam 2013)

This cuts in after I sorta tuned my restrung guitar.  Also from Beer Fest but with Alex on drums.  We were just improvising this.  Once again a one mic recording by Brennan Curtin.

Enjoy.  


Casey Hopkins--- Funk (Jam 2013)

This song is an oldie and totally different than anything I've done in a long time. It was also recorded before I learned about bussing and how to properly apply reverb while mixing, but you live and you learn.

It seems like a lifetime ago at this point.
