The last few weeks of winter are the longest – and the snow storms New York had been avoiding up until now haven’t made things easier. Behind the scenes, though, we’ve been busy recording this new li’l record of mine, and I’m excited to say...
A self-proclaimed “listening room” space, where the person in charge makes sure you’ve got all the extension cords you need (and even has a keyboard stand for you).

I know New Years' resolutions aren't for everyone, but I find a lot of comfort in the ritual (and, let's be honest, the idea of getting a fresh start on something -- even if it's only in your mind). This year, I made the resolution to take...
