I had a wonderful, unexpected surprise this past week. My friends from the band “Leeland” – who if you’ve never met them are some of the greatest guys on the planet – were sound checking in San Diego for the Christian Music Awards. They had a few hours free, so they drove to the studio I’m recording in and sang some ‘gang vocals’ on some of my songs. Thanks guys!
Here are some pics…
Lots of headphone cables so everyone could hear and sing along!
The first step for recording was – turn off our phones! (You can see how many iPhone-users we had in the building!!)
Me teaching the songs on acoustic, and people learning the lyrics from their sheets…
Sarah teaching vocal parts… Baby Scarlett watches wishing she could join in the singing!
Some of the songs I joined the ‘gang’ and sang on… Others I just stood and watched as it was a special moment for me to see all those people singing my songs and bringing their voices and hearts to the record.
SINGING!
Jonathan, my Producer, at the desk recording it all!
Group shot! Thanks SO much everyone :-)
Look for my 3 song EP coming out this Fall. Then the full-length album early next year! I can’t wait for you all to hear it.
Also…. Leeland’s brand new album hit the streets TODAY! Go buy it here!!
Are you part of a music community? Do you have people that you play with, sing with, jam with? For any musician or songwriter, a good musical community is a real gift from God. Do you have that or are you praying/searching for that?
Love,
Vicky
