At Studio Loco, Montreal
Since September 2019 at Studio Loco here in Montreal, I've recorded some 25+ songs, including the five-song EP On This Shore and the song + video Planet on Fire. Here, a few snaps from that joyous, continuing collaboration: myself, Martin Bennett (arrangements/virtual instruments + electric guitar/recording engineering), plus guest artists Chard Chenier (harmonica), Jeff Deeprose (violin), Ellwood Epps (trumpet) and Leesa Mackey and Ema Jean aka Emanuelle Kami (back vocals). Some of these recordings are on this site; all of them are available for listening/download on Bandcamp.
