I had the privilege of spending a few days in Joshua Tree, CA the other week recording music with artist Kerry Hart and amazing co-producer/engineer Yonatan Elkayam. We recorded everything straight to our Tascam 388 and did everything with no editing and didn't look at a computer screen the whole time. It was a incredible experience and was so inspiring to get to create in that setting and I am beyond proud of the new EP that we were able to record for Kerry on the trip. Also while there me and Yonatan were able to record some stuff and one evening I was moved to record this cover I worked out of the Ron Pope tune "You're the Reason I come Home". I don't sing much and am actually pretty uncomfortable with my voice but I felt very free and inspired to play and love the way this take came out. Its one take and one mic and I hope that the moment and the emotion comes through a little.
