James Harman & Girl Group Harmonies

I spent a few hours this week singing backups in Nathan James' cozy Sacred Cat Studio for my friend, the amazing, talented, hilarious Mr. James Harman.  Get yourself ready for some rockin' witty blues tunes as only James can write and deliver! Backed by fantastic girl group harmonies by Candye Kane, Whitney Shay and myself...James' next record is going to blow your mind. Amazing that we managed to lay it all down with so many stories and laughter during the session. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by such talented folks!

Nathan took this photo while James was telling us about how he always compliments women on their shoes...he's a charmer that one...

Kiss You Goodnight

A new song is born at Lost Ark Studio in San Diego... "Kiss You Goodnight" will appear on a compilation album being produced by the studio. I can't wait to share it with you!

Here's T-bone & Turtle laying down the rhythm tracks

Recording the Album - Session 1

2 days at White Horse Recorders, San Diego CA. we managed to nail down rhythm tracks for 14 songs, scratch vocals and guitars, drink 2 bottles of bourbon, and give the album a cohesive flavor. in the studio with us on day 2, photographer Andrew Reilly patiently waited while demolished an indian food feast, then snapped these photos...thanks Andrew!

Mix it Up!

From punk shows to jazz jams, I am always inspired by going to see live music. I'll try to keep you up to date on good shows I plan to attend and performances that have moved me!

Last Wednesday I attended pianist Danny Green's official record release party at Anthology in San Diego. It was an incredible show featuring Justin Grinell, bassist, Dylan Savage, drums, Peter Sprague, guitar and Tripp Sprague, saxophone. This is world-class jazz...check out his site at http://www.dannygreen.net and buy the cd.

Last year I recorded a few tunes with Danny that were released in Europe. You can listen to "Gee Baby" and the jazz version of "Say You'll Be Mine" at myspace/nenaanderson.
