I let the desert take control yesterday

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I let the desert take control yesterday. A friend took me out to check out a really cool studio near Joshua Tree. It’s a fun place to ride dirt bikes, throw some horse shoes, shoot guns, drink Mexican beer by a fire pit, and make some music. It’s also mystical and comfortably unsettling. The desert carves the spirit of man. I am back at the sea today, but yesterday was a fun glimpse into the future, I’m looking forward to going back.

I hope to see you this Thursday at the House of Blues on Sunset: https://www.sjatr.com/hob

Here is a song we recorded with Peter Buck (R.E.M.), it’s called ‘Hear Me Now’, and it’s one of my favourites:


We’ll post some more songs in the coming weeks, but this should give you a taste of what we’ve been up to. Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

SJ

PS. I hope to see you at my House of Blues on Sunset show on 12 May at 11PM, get your tix here: https://www.sjatr.com/hob

Photo Gallery: 2010 Seattle Sessions with Peter Buck of R.E.M.

We finally posted an album of the photos of my sessions with Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., Baseball Project) and Bill Rieflin (R.E.M., Ministry). They’re a legendary team to have in the studio, I am blessed beyond comprehension.

We went in and recorded the songs together in Seattle, Washington. The sessions were a lot of fun, we had tons of freedom to record the songs how we wanted them to sound and we just fell in to a groove and recorded very quickly and easily. I can’t wait for you guys to hear the songs, I’ll see if I can find some videos to post of the sessions also.

Love,

SJ
