My goal is to record new songs with my band Glitteratti in March 2017. Steve Garrington, the bass player from Low, will produce. Brett Bullion, a Minneapolis based engineer, will track and mix the songs. The outcome of these sessions will be brought to music management and booking companies that are currently available to me through the band's association with Trampled by Turtles. Dave Carroll and Tim Saxhaug from Trampled by Turtles are in this four piece. I will also make a CD of our recordings that will be sold at our performances and regional record stores. The goal of this project is to record new songs with a specific qualified producer and engineer. This will help me in reaching my outcome of being a successful, touring musician with a well-crafted example of my work. This grant allows me the opportunity to spend more time pursuing and incorporating valued input in the recording studio, thus producing songs of my highest quality work yet. This new project also incorporates my goal of progressing as a songwriter. As an artist, I measure myself in my ability to write and record new songs and this project continues that growth.
With the grant money received my band Glitteratti was able to record, mix and complete 5 original songs. We achieved this task with Producer Steve Garrington and Engineer Lance Conrad at his Minneapolis recording studio Humans Win. We will be releasing this music on CD and digital download later this year, tentatively scheduled for October 2017.
