Dave's in a coutry band?

I haven't written about this yet because I wanted to get some rehearsals under our belt and make sure that it was for real, but since I'm sitting around waiting to go to rehearsal I may as well let y'all know. I've recently joined L.A. singer-songwriter Julie Neumark's band as a utility player. Julie is a fellow Midwesterner whose music can loosely be categorized as roots rock/americana with a pop/rock bent. I'm sort of a jack of all trades in this band and am singing backing vocals as well as playing keyboards, guitar, bass and even a little violin.

We've been rehearsing for a couple of months and play our first show in L.A. on October 28 in the building where the Doors recorded "L.A. Woman". Since Julie is from Cincinnati I'm sure that we'll be playing there some time in early 2008 and will hopefully start touring a bit in '08 as well.

I should state, however, that in no way do I plan on slowing down with my own music as a result of playing with Julie. Rather I see this as a great opportunity for my musical career that has the potential to be successful and open a lot of doors while leading to other opportunities. Besides all that, it's a lot of fun to be playing in a band again (I haven't done that in about 7 years) and to be playing with some really good musicians.

If you want to check out a bit of Julie's music go to her MySpace page and add her as a friend. Also, stay tuned for show and tour announcement likely in the new year.

Cheers,

Dave

And so it begins

Alright folks, some exciting news coming from the offices of Dave Carducci and Associates.

This coming Thursday at 00:00 (PDT) producer Nels Jensen and I will enter Studio A at Musicians Institute in Hollywood to begin the recording of my follow-up to Trouble and Debris. After having a couple of production meetings, Nels and I are really excited about the direction in which these songs are headed. We hope to get all of the acoustic guitars recorded during the 6 hour session which will doubtless be the first of many on the road to LP2.

Wish us well (for we need not luck) and I'll keep you posted on further recording developments.

Ciao,

Dave
