Holiday and Album Update
Happy Holidays!!! Last week, I was diagnosed with Bronchitis. Hate it, inhaler, steroids, antibiotic. I have a new respect for those with this illness. Hang in there. At least the fever stage is behind me. Have been really exhausted. However, to keep this real: I burn the candle at both ends, multi task on several levels at the same time, visiting Korea, Japan, UK twice to see my daughter, and numerous trips to Nashville to work on the new record. It caught up to me and now, I’m getting better. I sleep a lot which I guess is crucial too.
I have to get better because we’re doing our annual Holiday show at EvenFlow Music & Spirits in Geneva, IL. I really hope many of you can make it. We’re going to try and have a couple of surprises too, namely a couple of new tunes. This fun time is happening on Thursday December 22nd at 8PM. Perfect start to the Holiday Season. And I sincerely hope to see many old and new friends there!
New Record: All the words have been written, all the notes played, and I sang all of my lead vocals. There are 14 new tunes in total. All are different and all hold their own. Now on to Pre-Mix. Pre-Mix is really important, because it sets the structure of how it should be mixed at the end. Phil Tennant from London is flying over next week for this crucial stage. Looking forward to seeing Phil. He always has great ideas. And as always, my great friend and producer Rick Chudacoff will be at the helm.
After the Pre-Mix, we go to full blown mixing, after the base is set. That mix is when you can hear every instrument and sound. Then after that, on to Abbey Road Studios in London to have it mastered. This project will also be available in vinyl too. Spread the word. Sometime in the spring it should be completed. It’s really an enormous job making a record. Proud to say, I think this is my finest creative hour. I can’t wait to share it with all of you!
Lots of people have told me that TFB has been on IHeartRadio. This is so great and makes me so happy! It’s such an awesome opportunity! Be sure to check it out!
Miss all of you at this special time of year. I can’t think of a better way to end it, with a classic TFB rock party on the 22nd. Hope to see you there.
God Bless,
TF
