The Waystation (slight return)

Continuing the creative journey we began 14 years ago, I am proud to officially announce Nick's return to the band and a new 5-song EP, called The Waystation (slight return), available now at CD Baby.

Featuring diverse rhythms & eclectic arrangements, but rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition, The Waystation (slight return) is more organic than 2007's downcounting. The new EP opens with Leave Me Be, a song written and originally recorded in 2001, but never released. The new version, re-worked from electric, bass, drums to a taut, acoustic number, exemplifies the old-is-new feeling of the EP. In addition, The Waystation (slight return) features Keep it to Yourself, Holding Pattern and Help Me to Fly, which are songs we have played live hundreds of times. And, the brand-new song, Perfect.

New touches for the EP include bluegrass-inspired dobro work from Dan Fuchs as well as Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano from one of Chicago's hot, young jazz players, Rob Clearfield. Also, two tracks were recorded and mixed by our college buddy and studio owner Steve Shirk, with longtime engineer Scott Ramsayer on-board for the other mixes and overall mastering.

Be sure to check out photos from the release party, see photos of us recording the new EP, or listen to a few of the tracks. And, pick up the MP3s or a CD at CD Baby!
