Horns o' Plenty, and an update!

Posted February 20th, 2008 by Jars of Clay

Hey friends - We're well into February and things are rolling along quite nicely. There are early discussions about starting to rehearse some new tunes. The writing has gone really well.

I'm sure we'll have some music for you to hear as the process continues. One of the things we've enjoyed is the infancy or first draft of the new music, and we'll want to let you behind the curtain a bit to see how that's come along.

Example

In other news, our dear friend/producer/engineer Mitch Dane is continuing to make great music with all sorts of artists that come through Sputnik, his studio. Charlie and I got pulled in to play some sax on a few cuts...pictured here. It was a blast! The artist is Jon Troast. He's not only a kind soul, he makes great music. Check him at out @ www.jontroast.com.

Peace!

Yay! Thanks for the update Steve! I'm very excited to see what y'all come up with for the new album.

And very cool pic. I didn't know y'all could play sax. Y'all are just so talented. :)

Fabulous Hidden Talent!

I know I shouldn't find it hard to believe, but I do. Saxiphones! Wow! You guys are true musicians. Oh, and about the album your working on; I pray that God will help you as He has through the past years. Gotta go. I can't wait to tell my younger sister that you, Steve, and Charlie play the saxiphone. That will definitely make her day.

so much talent

I agree, you all are very talented! Being a fellow musician, I have a question. Did you each learn to play a lot of instruments when you were in school, or do you just say, "Hey, we need a sax on this song, who wants to figure out how to play it?" Either way, it's working, so keep up the great work. Can't wait to hear what you have in store for us next!

That's so awesome. I can't wait to hear it ^ ^ Good luck with the whole process.

I also heart that Matt did a show with Andrew Osenga. I wish I could have been there for that! It sounded great.

Shock and Awe
