August 13th, 2009 - Satisfy

Things have become very busy around Ghost in My House Studio. I am working on recording demos of about 6 new songs and once I get that done I am going to start work on recording a new album. I also will be helping Michelle Lynn with a bit of additional instrumentation on her new album that is quickly nearing completion. I will be helping Nick Shattuck record his debut album beginning in September and I am hoping to get another track to local MC Hyphon within the next couple of months.

In other news I will be performing with Nick Shattuck next Thursday, August 20th, at Del's in La Crosse, WI, my favorite bar. I am going to bring down a stripped down drum kit and will also be playing some guitar. Should be a fun show, starts at 10:00pm and runs to close. We are playing for tips, so bring your ones and I will work on my pole tricks.

I am anxious to get a new Logan Custom Hot Rod Telecaster I ordered from Robert Logan. Robert is a custom guitar builder from right here in Wisconsin who makes amazing hand-built guitars for a much lower cost than Fender, Gibson, etc... Definitely worth checking out if you are a guitar or bass player. This will be my second Logan Custom Telecaster. Check out a pic below:

August 12th, 2009 - Strange Behavior

Today's featured free music download is "Best Behavior", a Vision Question B-Side. This song was originally written around 2003 and I had done some initial demos of the song at that point but ended up not doing anything with the song until 2007 when I made some attempts to make an updated version. I like a number of the elements of the song but could never get a version I was totally satisfied with. Check it out!

Also, I have got the preliminary site done for Ghost in My House Studio done, check it out at www.ghostinmyhousestudio.com.

August 11th, 2009 - Spoke of the Wheel

Thanks again to Adam Wiltgen for recording the above video of my performance at the Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis, MN on July 30th.

I have about 16 songs written for the new album from which I think I can select my 10-11 favorites. Time allowing I would like to get the album recorded and released by early 2009.

August 10th, 2009 - Weekend Recap

The weekend was both relaxing and productive. I had a great time performing "Have it Back" live with Hyphon on Decorah, IA's KDEC 100.5 FM and am looking forward to working on some more tracks with Hyphon in the near future.

Besides recording my own music at my home/project studio I have begun doing some production work for other musicians and bands. I had a good meeting with local singer/songwriter Nick Shattuck on Saturday and will be helping him record his debut full length album in the near future. If you are interested in more information about Ghost in My House Studio and the music I have recorded there so far, just take a minute and stop by www.ghostinmyhousestudio.com.

My good friend Adam Wiltgen was kind enough to provide me with some more live Brahman Shaman footage. Just posted a live solo performance of Capture What Eludes You from my July 30th performance at the Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis, MN. Check it out here.
