You may have heard me refer to a mysterious “rock record” that I’ve been busy producing. Well it’s for real. The band is called Black Swan Green, centered around the songs, voice and guitar playing of my old friend and mixtape maestro Hugh Crickmore. We have a few tracks that are near completion. Full album should be available by end of summer. I’m really honored to be able to give these songs the care, attention and guitar overdubbing they deserve.
