I leave on June 6 for 10 days to play several dates with Nate Fancher and band. We’ll be playing in KY at Asbury Seminary and in VA at Liberty University for a youth rally event called “War Cry”.
We’ve had a couple of rehearsals with the band, mostly hashing out arrangements for Nate’s newest original stuff. I’m really enjoying the direction of the music. Quite Sting-like - with some disco-ish, pseudo-reggae beats from Dale and Jamie, who make up the rhythm section. Modern guitar tones and effects from George, the wonderkid. I’m playing keys - mostly ethereal pads and vintage wurly and hammond - but so far I’ve been able to add in some weirdness, like marimba and some analog synth leads. Pretty eclectic so far, really.
I love creating good music with good people!
