Rock, Country, Jazz - Long rider plays it all!

Long Rider was in the studio putting together a demo CD to generate some more gigs for the band. I was excited to work w/the band because I’ve seen them live quite a few times and I’ve always been impressed.

The band plays primarily covers & performs regularly at Lompoc’s, Wicked Shamrock bar, and other venues on the Central Coast.

Their repertoire includes tunes by The Eagles, Steely Dan, and the Charlie Daniels Band.

Gale their drummer brought in a set of electronic drums for the session.

Danny and Kevin of the 1st Line came in to record vocals for the 4 songs we recorded on Friday.

I’ve been recording vocals in the live room instead of the vocal booth lately because I think it’s nice for singers to have a little more room to breathe.

Kevin and Danny both did a great job. I was glad we were able to keep up the momentum and quality of the earlier sessions.

Now we just have to comp the 3 takes of each song and run everything by Dom. Dom is more than just the drummer; he’s also in charge of quality control.

We joke about Dom being somewhat of a tyrant but his leadership is invaluable. Kudos Dom!
