Bird Children

My very first release, ever, of a song I’ve written, recorded, sung, and played all alone, by myself. This song came out quickly — written and recorded on a weekend when I received delivery of a new guitar just before a snowstorm came to town. I liked how the song turned out and decided to get it mixed and mastered and release it. Then I had an idea for a video and shot and edited that on a day when everyone else was out of the house. All because, well, why not?

I recorded this at my own Brave Tiger Studio — which is just a room in my basement. It was mixed by my friend Bradford Swanson at his home studio and then mastered by Mark Alan Miller (whose credits include J Mascis, Dar Williams, Pernice Brothers, Stone Coyotes, New Radiant Storm King, and more) at Radio Valkyrie. I played acoustic guitar, tenor guitar, bass, organ (via MIDI controller), classical guitar, shakers, and tambourine. And I made all the vocal sounds.

This single is available on all streaming platforms including Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube, Amazon Music, and Soundcloud.
