I have a couple more collaborations in the works, but I’ve been busy with other projects in the meantime check out this one from February that I love so much!!!

I had to go out of state to get this funky. Eastern TN bass face from Nick Castro. He just sent me an amazing bassline to add to one of our upcoming projects.

03/09/2021

Evan Richard Scott shares the CSTU studio space and he agreed to drop a hot beat on the current project. You will all love this one. Guaranteed

03/06/2021

2 new covers in the works!!! They couldn’t be more dissimilar songs, but both amazing. Completely different sets of players on each. I love doing this stuff.

***Please stay for Guitar Solo at 3:30***

Check out our latest cover video collaboration of the Smashing Pumpkins tune "Cherub Rock".

I asked my dude Troy Crossley to do the heavy lifting on this song by playing guitar and drums, so I could step out from behind the drums and focus on the challenging lead vocal. Super excited to add Pockets Ov to the team, tracking the bass line in 1 take like a total pro with class and style. I knew the tough part was going to be getting the guitar solo! Billy Corgan is a very specific guitar player and I asked Matt Evans to give it a try. He not only gave it a try but executed the very long solo note for note in the classic Corgan tone. Super impressed by all of the fine folks!! Enjoy

Troy Crossley: Guitar, Drums, Backing Vox
Courtney F X Cahill: Vocals
Pockets Ov: Bass Guitar
Matt Evans: Epic Guitar Solo
