ABOUT THE ALBUM
We’re going back to Pittsburgh again to record with Al Torrence, more commonly known as guitar player and producer for Charles Wesley Godwin. Al is a brilliant producer and overall musician, who will also perform throughout the record. Additionally, other players from The Allegheny High will be performing on the album along with us, adding instrumentation, production input and overall depth to the project.
We’ve been working on demos for the past few months and at this time have over 20 songs we’re in the process of narrowing down to what will likely be a 12-song record. This first session, slated for May 11-13, we have 6 songs chosen that we plan to tackle.
We’ll start sessions about 10am every day and usually wrap up in the evening once everyone is sufficiently fried.
Completing the album will require a second trip to Pittsburgh later this year, but those dates are yet to be determined. We are optimistic for a 2027 release date.
When we finished Little Crosses (also recorded in Pittsburgh and produced by Torrence), I wasn’t sure we’d be able to top it. But I can honestly say, I think this crop of songs is better.
Obviously, making records is expensive. When I set out to record an album, I’ve never had all the money I need. But our fans have always come through by the end. And I trust you’ll be there for us again, one way or the other. Thanks for considering playing a vital part in helping us make more music!
Joe
