“BANG! BAM! BOOM!” almost completed!

My new album with The Leftovers is just about finished and I couldn’t be more excited. “BANG! BAM! BOOM!” has been three years in the making. The album consists of tortured love songs sung by an unconventional vocalist who is backed up by a fourteen-piece chamber orchestra. WOW!! I still have a hard time believing that I actually found musicians of such high caliber that were willing to do this project with me. Most of them were performance majors from NEC; Half of them are also Tanglewood fellows. The recording sessions all took place in Boston at The New England Conservatory’s Carr Organ Room with no fancy studio tricks or orchestral overdubbing. All the reverb comes from the natural acoustics in the organ room. "BANG! BAM! BOOM!" sounds as if it might have been recorded in the 1950s, which is exactly how we intended it to sound. The Leftovers and I now plan on taking our new material to various art galleries and odd performance venues that will take a chance on booking such an unusual group.
