The Blog is Back!

I'll admit I let the blog slide for a bit. We're working on a new record, and I figured my time would be better spent writing songs instead of blog entries.

But, as we get ready to move forward with the new record, I took a look back at the blog and realized how glad I was to have a record of what we'd done. So, now that the songs are mostly written, I'm going to be more active on here to document the making of the record.

This is the first summer in two years we won't be going on tour, and I have mixed feelings about that. Of course, I'll miss getting out on the road, meeting new people, and the adventures that come along with touring. On the other hand, I am really excited to record our new songs. Doing it in the summer will give us a chance to record for a long stretch at a time rather than squeeze in sessions on nights and weekends around school and work.

We're going to record this new record ourselves at home, and I'm excited about that, too. As grateful as I was to get to work on part of The Oak and the Acorn in the studio, I'm interested to see what we come up with without the money and time constraints of "studio time."

I'll keep you posted...
