Recording in Ireland

Dear blog reader(s?),
This past summer I was busy co-writing a whole bunch of new songs with my band, Radio Gold (John Kengla, Rob Heath and Jason Loughlin). A couple weeks ago we all traveled to remote Moate, Ireland where we recorded these songs at the incredible Grouse Lodge Recording Studio (http://grouselodge.com/content.php?ID=1). This was an amazing experience. Grouse Lodge is situated in the middle of the beautiful Irish countryside. Its visionary owner, Paddy Dunning, transformed 275-year-old, crumbling farm buildings into a state of the art recording studio where the likes of Michael Jackson, Muse and Snow Patrol have all worked. This experience was truly spectacular and I’m extremely grateful for it. I’m also excited about these new songs. I really love them and hope you will too. We’ll be playing them tomorrow night in Philadelphia at Lickity Split at 10pm. If you’re in the area, swing by. I’m posting a picture of my band and me at Grouse Lodge, along with our wonderful engineer, Fintan Moore.
