I am beyond excited about my new solo piano CD coming out on Friday, October 7th. This CD is special to me - I recorded this at Abbey Road Studios in London. Specifically, Studio 2, where The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tony Bennett, Ed Sheeran, and more have recorded.
Although my name and face are on the CD, I did not do this alone. It takes a village to record and produce a CD - especially this one. I am standing on the shoulders of many great people who contributed to this project. They include:
Abbey Road Studios, Studio 2, London, United Kingdom
Recording Engineer: Gordon Davidson, Abbey Road Studios
Assistant Engineer: Joe Wyatt, Abbey Road Studios
String Recording Engineer: Paul Scholten
String Arrangements: Austin Hoke
Cello: Austin Hoke
Violin: Laura Epling
Percussion: Alex Carter
Executive Producer: Tim Shelton
Record Producer: Alex Carter
Mastering: Andrew Walter, Abbey Road Studios
Mixing: Curb Studios, Nashville TN
Location Manager: Vickie Shelton
Stylist: Cindy Blevins
Photography: Carsten Windhorst
Videographer: Paolo Benetazzo
Video Editor: Chuck Crews
Album Art: Karissa Love
Publicity: Beth Hilton, The B Company
As you can see, this is truly a team effort, and every one of them has played an essential part in bringing this body of music to life.
Lastly, there is one unsung hero - who has been with me from the start—from my hatching hundreds of song ideas, endlessly working on them, arranging them, practicing, and rehearsing them for months. She has supported me without a peep, is constantly by my side, and only requires dog treats. And that is my Golden Retriever Honey. If anyone deserves credit - it is her. This poor dog has listened to more piano music than any dog should be allowed. Therefore, we officially have added Honey to the album credits as:
Piano Dog: Honey
