So, one of my all time favorite musicians / singers / songerwiters.. Brian Vander Ark (formerly the lead singer of The Verve Pipe) is planning to record his third solo album this fall. He's signed on some "legendary" producer whose name I can't remember, but apparently most well known for producing "Hotel California" for The Eagles.. Unfortunately for Brian, being an independent artist choosing to avoid major labels, he doesn't have any money to record the album, so he sent out this email yesterday explaining all this.
He says he wants to spend the entire months of July and August playing personal shows in people's living rooms and at back yard BBQs. How cool is that? He claims to be the master of priceline, and will pretty much go anywhere in the country that's near and airport, taking with him clothes, toiletries, and his guitar. My sister and I are going to try to get him to come play at a BBQ at my house in the raleigh area. That'd be awesome. As far as I'm concerned, as a songwriter, he's up there with Dylan and Joel and Taupin, so to have him play a gig in my back yard would be super cool.
