Hello readers!  

I realize that it has been quite sometime since I blogged about anything musical.  So here is a chance for me to hang my hat, grab a beverage, and chat with you! Lately I've been working quite hard on my progressive rock project, "West of Eden!"  Guitarist Kaleb McEwen, Drummer Seth McKenzie, and myself recently put some long hours into polishing up some old W.O.E tunes for an upcoming recording date in August!  We will be recording a 3-4 song EP which will help us throw our progressive sound to the wind!  The entire album is in pre-production right now and we will be entering Chicago's Flashpoint Academy for the Recording Arts in the second week of August to start cutting tracks! 

In other related news, West of Eden was fortunate enough to book a show at a local venue with the Prog-metal band, "Graphidum," and Dub-reggae artists, "Plain and Simple!"   The show was an incredible success with each band bringing talented, heartfelt, and energetic music to the club's listeners!  West of Eden will look forward to doing shows and collaborating more with our new and close friends, "Graphidum!"
