Hey everyone - Thank you for checking out my new project! I have certainly been blessed by all the Tourniquet fans out there, and all of you who have shown an interest in what I do - plus it’s been cool to see so many of you at The Tourniquet Ark. Now I’m ready to record a new album called ONWARD TO FREEDOM. I believe this is a worthwhile project - I hope you’ll agree and join me.
This is a full album project with vocals - human vocals this time! (Many of you know I did a solo album featuring authentic animal sounds for the “vocals”.) I plan to make the music all of you have come to expect from the main songwriter in Tourniquet since the beginning. Joining me will be a few fantastic guest musicians to add to the mix - on vocals and lead guitar - maybe even a Milwaukee symphony musician or two ... I'm looking at probably eight brand new songs. The songs are pretty much written (in my head) - just need to get them recorded. It's no secret by now that I love beautiful music and I love very heavy music - you will surely hear both in ONWARD TO FREEDOM. My hope is that this is truly something you can feel good about being involved with.
