Buffalo Recording

Hi Gang.
Just an update on my recording and performing career.
The four-song album I recorded at the end of 2016 has been held up several times, but is currently being mastered. Taking a cue from my buddy Marcus King, The Austin Sessions will be released as a digital download as opposed to CD. The album was produced by Jim Hemphill and Billy Eli in Austin, Texas, and features Eli, Hemphill, bassist Joey Parrish (Silver Travis) and Michael McGeary (drummer for Jerry Jeff Walker, among others). We recorded four of my original tunes. Watch this space for a release date.

I have also been recording my "dream" album, produced by Capricorn Records legend Paul Hornsby at his Muscadine Studios in Macon, GA. We have had four sessions over the past few months and are getting close. The album will be released is a full on CD digi-pack with lyrics sheet and more, as well as digital downloads. Performing on the album are some of my bestest friends and some former band mates as well! Also legendary guitar player Tommy Talton of Cowboy and his own Tommy Talton Band; drummer Towson Engsberg (Tommy Talton & The Crosstown Allstars; Greg Yeary (long time band mate in Buffalo Hut Coalition); Joey Parrish on bass (Silver Travis Band and former band mate with Buffalo Hut Coalition); guitarist Daniel Jackson (Silver Travis Band); Billy Eli (Texas singer/songwriter) Paul Hornsby (keyboards Hour Glass, many album appearances including Marshall Tucker Band); EG Kight (the Georgia Songbird!) and Hal Brandstetter. The album is in it's final stages, and I can hardly wait to release it!

As for live music. My personal appearances have very limited this past year, but gigs will soon be picking up. I have been rehearsing with singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Rick Keller, who, along with his wife, recently relocated here to Spartanburg, SC from Ohio. I'm looking forward to bringing our originals and cover tunes to Upstate SC venues very soon!

Thanks. Y'all keep on rockin.' Buff
