SUMMER 09

Have you noticed how many great concerts are coming around this summer? Billy Joel/Elton John, The Fray/Jack's Mannequin, No Doubt/Paramore, Coldplay/Killers...I mean I wish I had infinite dollars to see all of these because they're SO GOOD, but hey the money's gotta go elsewhere right? So here's what I'm doing (besides getting a job).

This summer, I will be all over the open mics in the Boston area. If you know of one that you want to see me at just shoot me an email [masterson.music@gmail.com].

FALL 09

There's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes lately. I am currently formulating a plan for writing, recording and releasing an album and talking with various studios and session players, so stay tuned for details on that. I plan to have something for you all in time for the fall, and of course if I hit the studio this summer as I hope to, you will be seeing pictures and videos throughout the process.

Perhaps you might even find those pictures and videos on danmasterson.net! I am in the process of choosing a website designer for my new and official website, and that, too, should be an early fall delivery.

Thank you all for being supportive throughout the past few months. You've really given me the push to get onwards and make some music.

More to come as things are confirmed!

As always, thank you,
Dan Masterson

Show and Guitar Tracks

Hey there,

Monday afternoon, the great Sung-Eun Park stopped by to record cello tracks for two songs and also provided back up vocals for another. Now it is time for the dreaded guitar tracks. Why dreaded, you ask? 1. It is difficult to get a good recording of an overdriven electric guitar. 2. Timing is always an issue. But we shall prevail!

Tomorrow, I will be playing a very low key show with three members of the Silver Lining (Rich, Rob, Sebastian) in MiddleOfNowhere, MA (also known as Hubbardston). We're basically just going out west and playing a like 40 minute set to practice the new songs and refresh some others.

I will update as soon as something else is accomplished!
Dan
