One Step Closer

This album was written and recorded over a four year period. It contains nine new songs, and two songs from my catalog, which I thought would round things out nicely. I wanted a diverse album, with a little something for everybody, and that's what we have here. From catchy pop to Latin influenced, from blues to avant -garde, it's all represented here. I've always been influenced by melodic, rhythmic songs, and that is reflected in my writing. Since I played multiple instruments, it required me to lay rhythm guitar or piano to click, and then drums to that. I also did all the vocals, believing that your own voice blends well with itself. Rounding out the tracks are some stellar lead guitar work from Peter Storn, great keys and co-production from Gary Strausbaugh, and precision bass from Joe Salamone and Rich Kurtz. We had a lot of fun recording these tracks, and I think the listener will feel the same way. Clocking in at forty-three minutes, it's not too long, and upon first listen you'll want to play it again!
