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

Welcome to the Blog

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd create this blog to keep in touch during the recording and in the future. I will be adding materials and possibly YouTube videos soon, so keep an eye out. I have yet to find anyone to help design my website, so I may just throw some links and info up. So here's where I'm at with recording:

I am aiming for a 10-11 song CD.

Piano has been recorded for 7/9 songs.
Drums have been recorded for 6/8 songs, courtesy of Rob McCarthy who has done an excellent job.
Electric Bass has been recorded for 6/8 songs.

This leaves guitars and vocals, plus a little extra percussion and strings. I have started doing editing and effects and mixing for some of the songs, and moving as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.

I'll see if Rob has any pictures of recording from the other day to put up.

Feel free to comment! Or just shout out that you've found the blog!
