HARDCOPY – Jump the Fire

4.6/5
Category:

Release date: May 6, 2016

A year ago I sequestered myself in a damp, dark cabin in the woods with no phone, no internet, only a woodstove and my instruments for company, and I wrote. Wrote and wrote and woodshed, and emerged with the bones of our third release. Five years since my first solo project, the ELB has become a tight trio. While I bring the songs, Keith and Erik contribute mightily to the arrangements. The feel of the music, the conversation of our instruments and voices, is the original sound of the three of us. I am lucky to work and play with these two adventurous musical minds, fun performers and excellent tour companions. This record is a true reckoning of our ongoing collaboration.
