We just had our guitarist

James Tanner drive out all the way

from Los Angeles out to our place

this weekend in Phoenix AZ 

(about a 7 hour drive for him)

to come practice with us for our

first full band rehearsal for our

upcoming album release show 🤘🏻

which is in ONE MONTH from now!

So many nerves and excitement 

boiling up at the same time!

We also have what I consider to be

a fifth band member join us

Matt Anderson, our sound guy

who is helping us with figuring out

how to play our songs with 

backing tracks on stage

which is its own instrument in itself.

Anyway all five of us got together

today and ran thru everything 

a couple times. About an hour set.

We have a LOT to work on

but it IS coming together.

It’s interesting though because

originally for this show I only

wanted to sing, without playing 

any instruments especially since

it has been so long since

performing on guitar on stage.

As a studio musician you get used to

pressing STOP whenever you mess up

but LIVE of course that’s not possible.

Well, when James offered to play 

guitar I realized there are so many

more guitar parts that need to be

played with his so i thought,

“Fine, I’ll just play the rhythm guitar”

(which is easier to sing and play

at the same time as opposed to

the lead guitar) BUT after running

thru things with James we both

realized that a months time is

not enough time for James to learn

all the guitar solos (lead guitar parts)

SO I went from only wanting to sing to

now also playing lead guitar

at this show which TERRIFIES me

but I know these songs like the back

of my hand so I’m more likely to

be able to learn these lead parts

quicker and easier than James so

STAY TUNED for how that will go!
