One month ago I was on vacation when Ryan Harris Brown released his record "Stranded in the Present Tense." I listened to it on our little Bluetooth speaker with so much pride for my friend, knowing what he went through to put this out.

Honored that all the vocals were recorded right here, as well as most of the track "Confidence Don't Go," one of my personal favorites.

So go 👍🏼 Ryan's page and buy the album to show your support for independent music!

Listen to songs from the album Stranded in the Present Tense, including "Begin", "Tell Me Who to Be", "Forever Means for Good" and many more. Buy the album for USD 11.99. Songs start at USD 1.29. Free with Apple Music subscription.

It's been a pleasure to have Daniel Harper, Tilman Acker, and Braden Stuart Land in the studio this week putting down tracks for the Simple Folk project!

We recorded an incredible Woodie Guthrie song today. Very powerful some 50 years later.

"Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?

Eyyyyyy! My friend Ryan Harris Brown's first single debuted today! He did an awesome job playing, Gus Berry killed the production, and all the vocals on the album were cut right here at South Town Sound!

Enjoy!

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ryan Harris Brown will release his debut full-length, Stranded In The Present Tense, on May 12th—a fitting title, given that a deadly illness kept the young artist…

Shooting videos with Allie Farris today. Digging the new lighting setup and my Microphone-Parts.com 990 mic on her vocals! Dolly has been a good studio hang the last couple of sessions. I think she likes Allie's voice.

I've known Ryan Harris Brown for years now and am beyond thrilled to have him finishing his record at South Town. We're hard at work knocking down percussion and vocal tracks!

NEW ALBUM UPDATE!!

It's been a long and unpredictable journey in making this new album, but I'm happy to say that today I'll begin recording vocals, and I'm getting so close to the finish line. I originally intended to complete this project in it's entirety by the end of this past January, but because of a crazy health scare that took me off my feet for the end of 2015 and most of January, it had to wait. For those who have stuck with me, thank you, for those who contributed to the Indiegogo, thank you, for those who have had me in their thoughts and prayers, thank you. Just hold on a little bit longer. I promise it will be worth it.

Built these Classic Audio Products of Illinois VP26 mic preamps last week. I love building my own studio gear and the satisfaction I get hearing it shine. Finally got to track some vocals tonight and these things sound great!

In 2011 I engineered a few songs for Daniel Harper. I knew immediately how talented he was and I promised myself when it came time for him to do a proper record I'd be the one recording it. Since then, we've spent countless hours together being roommates, recording demos, and becoming close friends.

In 2014 Gus Berry and I went to Boston to record basics for The After Life. Over the course of a very long, snow-filled weekend we finished, arranged, and cut these tracks. The rest of that year was spent adding and subtracting loops, keys, guitars, strings, exotic instruments, vocals. We tried it all! Thanks to all who made it possible.

"My Way Back" is the only one we recorded in 2011 that has made it this far, though in very different form than then. The rest show Daniel's songwriting and vocal progression since that time.
Please give this a listen and show Daniel some love.
