Introducing my new EP “Go”. It was time to make some noise and reunite with bandmates, friends and my coproducer/husband to make some great music together. There is a better way….enjoy the journey, create music that is inspires us and have a whole heck of a lot of fun in the process. These songs were created with a lot of joy, some great Irish Beer and lots of dark chocolate!

I’m back with “the boys” (as I affectionately call them). They are drummer Dave Tavel and bassist Robin Hildebrant who worked with me on my last CD “Landing”. “Go” is another beautiful collaboration with these great musicians and wonderful friends who intuitively know how to embrace and enhance the heart and spirit of my songs. They “get it” even when it’s sometimes unclear to me.
The three of us recorded the basic tracks at Laughing Tiger Studios in San Rafael this past August ’09 with my husband and executive producer Manny LaCarrubba at the helm. Manny who is the quintessential audiophile broke the studio record by using 19 mics on the drums! Let’s just say, they sound phat!
I recorded the rest of the tracks in my home studio where I got to play the role of audio engineer/producer and try out all that I’ve learned working with Protools for the past couple years. I had the great pleasure of working with guitarist Tom Duarte (Edwards) whom I haven’t worked with in 15 years since we worked together as a duo and in my band back in the day. He’s been very busy as an accomplished latin jazz guitarist producing his own original music. (insert, check out his site here) It was like we never stopped working together. There’s a special musical language that we seem to know how to communicate, it’s pretty cool. A very special and unique addition to this project was bringing in David Phillips to lay down some pedal steel guitar on two of the songs. He is incredible and it just mesmerized me watching him play. It just rocked my world a little. I loved the texture and mood his instrument added. At one point I had to fight back the tears because it was so incredibly moving to me. We discovered we were both Ukelele fans and vowed to jam together sometime.
