...beneath the moon, beyond the stars. I'm enjoying spending what little free time I have writing and recording this new 'Matty Metcalfe and Crewe d'Bayou' project with James McLaughlin at his Mountainside Studios. Mike D'Antoni lays down some heavy (New Orleans 'heavy', meaning 'phat') guitar grooves and sings, Drex Weaver tightens and wallops the skins, and John D'Earth blows trumpet as if from the mouth of the Delta herself. Whatever happened to Delta Burke anyway? The album should be out by June 16, when we perform at Fellini's on the mall with very special guests Spencer Lathrop on drums, and Robert Jospe--also on drums...and possibly one more drummer. We'll be stacking those toms three-high. John D'earth will also be shredding the brass..and might want a turn at drums too. Here are some upcoming shows, and I hope to post sound files soon.
