Hey everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. Geno and I are currently sitting in our hotel in Omaha–good gig last night at the Dubliner; I hope for another good crowd tonight. Not much going on at the moment (Geno is watching Parking Wars on TV) so I thought I’d take a moment and update you all with what we’ve been doing…
So far the recording of the new album is going swimmingly! We’ve done a lot of work, and the basic tracking is mostly done. We still have some fiddle tracks to do, as well as vocals, but all the bass, drums and guitars are done and I have to say–it sounds AWESOME. Our drummer/engineer Greg Schutte has done a phenomenal job, and I really can’t wait for everyone to hear the fruits of our labor!
The album will consist of 11 “big band” tracks, including a whole slew of new WCB originals–super pumped about that. We will also be including 6 Adam/Geno acoustic arrangements of pub favorites–things from our acoustic duo live repertoire–so whether you prefer us as a duo or as a five piece rock tour-de-force, this album will contain something you are gonna like!
We plan on having things done by late July. We are hoping to have a August 11 CD release–more info on that will be announced as it becomes available.
We’ve also been working on nailing down all of our festival dates for the summer–check out the gig calendar for those. I’m excited because we just booked the Iowa Irish Festival in Waterloo, which has been on our radar for a couple of years now. Gonna play right after Gaelic Storm–should be a nice big crowd!
So that’s what I know today! Like I said hope you’re all well, and we’ll talk soon!
Adam
