Last Monday and Tuesday I spent several hours with my amazing, talented and compassionate producer Chris Gage. We went through all the songs I have that might be good for my new record. I already knew I had a few winners. Songs like “The Next Time”, a crowd favorite and the most likely title track, were a no brainer. I found a couple of new / old songs as well.

All in all I found the experience of going through my songs VERY confronting. I got positively freaked out thinking about not having enough songs for the project. I have to send a big thank you to Chris for being so great with me. I haven’t been “The Artist” on a project in quite some time. I’ve either been producing, engineering or working with my fellow Mystiqueros. I forgot how scary it can be to open your heart and the heart of your songs for public inspection.

So, now I have good homework to do. Writing, rewriting and collecting more songs for what will be an amazing new musical journey. I’ve also been gathering financial support from family, friends and fans. If you haven’t been to my pre-order page, you can check it out here: New CD

Thanks for all the great support so far and a big thank you to Chris Gage for his unfailing belief in me.
