New Collab: Sigh Figh 

It's amazing how these things happen. You meet people online that are into the same things as you, and before you know it, you're collaborating on great original music! Enter John Walker, the brain behind Sigh Figh! I added a lot of Sax, Lead Guitars, Rhythm Guitars, Drums, Bass, and even backing vocals to this Beatle-esque project. Great songs on this and I'm quite proud of my work on this! For a free listen, go here. Please consider supporting him by buying it!

 

New Single: AFRICA 

Wilson Fifer Rose’s cover of Africa (Featuring Philhelmon and Alessandro Bertoni) is live on streaming services. This is a re-imagined version of our version of Toto’s classic song. We added so many harmonies and really over-hauled the rhythm section. It also has new Queen-like guitar harmonies. I’m quite proud of this mi!

Here is the music video as well.

Thanks for checking it out!

Rolling Down Hill 

I had the great pleasure of collaborating with John Walker on the latest Sigh Figh album "Rolling Up Hill". It's a delightful distraction that I recommend everyone imbibe in. I appreciate John's writing and propsensity for dense arrangements. He's always got a lot going on in in his tracks and I love that. All the songs are worthy of a listen, but here are the ones I contributed to:

Time to Move Along

I played bari sax on this one. Basically followed the bass-line. Such a great opening track. I mean, sometimes you just gotta get the hell outta there, amiright?

I Won't Look

I played guitars. My direction was to play something "psychedelic". I ended up going more Dear Prudence than Strawberry Fields, but I am pretty happy with the outcome. To me the sitar player and the tasteful lady backing vocals really add to the vibe.

Showing

Ah, that 60's brit-pop shuffle. This is like a Monkees Davy Jones song with lyrics that aren't vapid. I had a great time arranging and playing bari and alto sax on this one. I was thrilled that John kept my ending. I tend to just throw a bunch of stuff at an arrangement. I thought it was super cool that he used that horn bit I wrote to close his album.

Slug Sax: Ky Fy Mix 

So - John Walker asked me to do some specific sax parts as part of his latest album. I did what he wanted the first night, but then... well I got inspired and did a TON of sax overdubs a week later. Unfortunately I got them to him a bit too late to make the actual album since he already had mixed it. BUT he liked what did a lot! So I was super pleased to hear he wanted to do a separate mix that incorporates more of the sax parts I composed for his latest single! Hear it here:

Sigh Figh Collab: Slugs & Sax 

I was invited to play and arrange sax on Sigh Figh's exquisite new album "Horrific". Specifically, you can hear me on the track "Toxic Mollusk Entity" which is track 11. I recommend checking out the entire album if you like new wave and They Might be Giants. It appears to be a concept album about horror which is just the kind of thing I like.

Get it here!

Jellyfest 

For those of you who aren't aware, one of my favorite bands is Jellyfish. I was invited to partake in an online festival celebrating the band - and I of course had to oblige! The festival includes contributions from other artists who perform, as well as the members of Jellyfish making appearances with interviews and live performances!!! Such an honor to pay homage to this fabulous band. Check out my version of their song "Sebrina, Paste, and Plato" complete with my interview immediately after where I talk with the festival's organizer, Paul aka "Pablo Melons".
