I'm very excited to share this clip with you because it features a guest guitar performance from Steve Hackett, legendary guitarist from the band Genesis! I did some production assistance and keyboards on his Genesis Revisited album (which was a complete honor) and to "return the favor" he offered to play on my first ever solo album! (Don't tell him that he owed me no favor as the favor was letting me play on his album in the first place!). I'm such a fan of his playing and of Steve himself. He and Jo and Roger and his whole band have been so cool to be around... I could go on and I will when I get a proper blog. So, this is part of the closing track on my album which is the book-end to the "rock opera" that starts off the album. The title of this section of the song is "Ascension". This of course is just a rough work in progress mix for now to get a taste of what the album is going to be like. If you're into "old Genesis" there are some tips of the hat in that direction especially having Steve on board. But there are also people who have played with Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, It Bites, Big Big Train, Alan Parsons Project, Chicago and other bands all over the album. If you want to hear classic rock and Prog in a modern musical context then I'm making this record for you! That's what I like myself!

Share this! Help spread the word. This is my first solo album after leaving the band Sound of Contact. It has Nick D'Virgilio on drums who I used to play with in Kevin Gilbert's Thud. So many great players and songs filled with genuine emotion. Check out the other clips too! - Dave (aka Squids)

"Ascension" With Hackett for Dave Kerzner album "New World"

Here's another clip from my upcoming album "New World", although this one may end up being a bonus track for my Kickstarter campaign exclusively as opposed to a track on the regular release. Not sure yet. As usual this is a rough work in progress mix. This time I'm show cases the talents of Fernando Perdomo, a multi-instrumentalist who has contributed a ton of guitar and bass on this album. Here Fern, Nick D'Virgilio and I go wild in the middle section of a song called "The Way Out".

Way Out Guitar - feat Fernando Perdomo for Dave Kerzner's New World

I do a Deluxe Edition of every album I produce. It offers a chance for the albums to recoup the high costs of making them while streaming services do the exact opposite in the music industry today. So, it's a way to support the artists directly. But, when I do these Deluxe Editions they offer something I've always wanted out of albums I like. Alternate versions, demos, outtakes and surround mixes of the songs. 

For my own favorite album collection of music I like, I always buy the Deluxe Editions if they're available because I'm picky and there aren't that many bands, artists and albums I really get into. So, when I do, I get the max I can out of it. Because of that, I do the same when I make an album. For the music lovers out there who can appreciate the differences between an album track and an alternate acoustic version such as what you hear in this snippet of the song "Too Far Gone". It's more intimate and "storytelling" in this presentation featuring Fernando Perdomo, Mark McCrite, Matt Dorsey and myself on guitars, Joe Deninzon of Kansas on violin, Matt on Bass, Durga McBroom of Pink Floyd and myself on vocals.
