Amazing Grace

Top

Style: Acoustic, finger-picking, jazz
Story: Probably the most over-used song in the world, this song is most associated with Christianity, and probably most accurately represents it in ministry and worship.
During my acoustic sessions at Studio 17, I laid down this solo acoustic version that I'd been playing for years. It seems everyone's done a version of this song, and now I have as well; hope you enjoy it.

Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Top

Style: Rock, Hard Rock, Metal
Story: This song was co-written by and features a good friend of mine, guitarist Curt Harman. This song started out simply as a way for us to write something together to learn my Pro Tools recording equipment. Our approach was to take this as a "real" song utilizing the equipment in a way consistent with major production studios. It ended up being something we were both really proud of, and something very exciting to be a part of. It was cool working with Curt as he's a great player and extremely knowledgeable on the technical side of recording and engineering.
