Vocalist Erika Lloyd and I are putting the finishing touches on a new collaborative album titled, Pour A Little Everything Else. It’s a set of 13 cover songs, ranging from the Pixies “Hey” to Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing” to Joni Mitchell’s “All I Want” to everything between.

She moved to New York City about a year after me along with her boyfriend Brad Whiteley, who you know as the keyboardist in my trio. Jill (my wife) and Erika are also great friends, so the sessions over at my apartment felt more like hanging out than work (not that this ever feels like work).
