Y'all have no clue how excited I am to be doing the two gigs I have this weekend. On Friday, Aug 1st, I'm scheduled to play Bond Park in Cary, NC. Kinda like a summer concert series. Rumor has it 300-500 ppl usually turn up. So I'm STOKED. It's gonna get me ready for the next day, which is the biggie. Headed to Franklin NC to open for the awesome 80'z Nation band at the 11th annual 80's Throwback Festival Weekend. All the proceeds go to the Shriners. Which is equally awesome. I have been fine tweaking my setlist, redoing this, remixing that. And, chipping away at another song that will be on the forthcoming album. I still haven't given it a title, but if it's got any consistency to it like 2023's “Vibes,” count on every song a damn near banger. It's also the first album that I've used an equal combo of both traditional multitracking and AI technology on every song. I'm hearing things that I never wouldve come up with in the first place. Complete game changer. And one of these days, I'd love to share that expertise with some of you technical enthusiasts, in maybe an online tutorial or masterclass teaching songwriting and production while using AI as a valuable tool. Closing off, I'd like to mention Foreigner. Had the opportunity to see them with my better half last night in Durham. After 48 years, this band still has some of the best stage presentation and timeless classics. Mad respect for vocalists Kelly Hansen and Jose Maldonado.
