Mid/Side Meditations

Mid/Side Meditations, 11/17/2016

Solo electric guitar, recorded in the dark of winter, in the dark of night.

Winter 2016 Instrumentals

Man is Still Dead

Robby and I had the idea of recording a project of Elvis covers on the last Horse Feathers tour - in hotel rooms and rehearsal spaces, documenting our love of his music as we traveled around, sharing our own.

Sadly, my recording laptop completely crashed, and we only had the chance to record one song...this is it. The mix is as close as it'll ever be. Enjoy!
