After some serious deep thinking, a bunch of meetings, a hectic few weeks in LA, and a long rainy drive in a truck through California and Oregon, I’ve finally arrived in my new home in Portland, OR. I’m sad to leave Los Angeles behind, but after being in PDX for only a week I can already tell it’s the right place for me to be.
I’ve already started planning the next Hip Hatchet record with Philippe Bronchtein, and we’ve been looking at studios since my second day in town. I’m hoping to nail down the right place today, because after a great show at Jade Lounge last night I’m really excited to record his new songs.
I’m also excited to get started creating a small studio and performance space in my house here. I’ll be working with the talented minds of Alex Lewis and Jake Nussbaum (both longtime friends and fellow members in The Early), and there are already some awesome ideas floating around. Sunday brunch shows, anyone?
I hope to post regular updates here of the Hip Hatchet sessions, as well as photos of any performance or studio buildouts in the new space. I have high hopes for the coming months, and am excited to share everything that develops.
