Inspired Update #1

On March 22, James, Matt & I had a wonderful session with Caroline Brooks, of the Juno Award winning group The Good Lovelies.

Caroline recorded vocals for two songs: our folkified hip-hop version of “Time After Time” and the bluegrass tinged porch jam “When I Get Home”. Caroline did a fantastic job and after a rough mix the tunes already sound amazing.

You can see a live version of WIGH from our Milton show earlier this month.

As far as the project, we are currently working on four songs with a few more demos in the pipeline

Thanks again for your support.

Check out the new Good Lovelies CD Let The Rain Fall and enjoy some ol’ timey happy music.
