Making A New Record

Adam — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:28:26 +0000

Thanks again to everyone who supported me this year, whether it was coming out to a show or buying a copy of my record. It has been a whirlwind year and just so much fun! I just finished the last show of the tour last night in Lexington, KY, and now I’m headed to Nashville to make a new record! I’m going to be working with producer John Mark Painter (Ben Folds, Sixpence None The Richer) on the new LP, and I’m very excited to get started. I have about 30-40 songs to work with, some of which I wrote recently while on tour in Europe and on holiday in Iceland. So, I’m quite interested to see what comes out of this collaboration. I’m going to miss being home in NYC for the next several months, but I’m looking forward to exploring a new city. Nashville, here I come!
