The History... 

A serendipitous meeting with Raz Koren at the Drake Hotel bar in Toronto...  10 songs, a shot & a beer or two later, and we're making an album!  With Raz at the Production helm, a bevy of Martin guitars, the Steve Sofferin Songbook, and Calvin Hartwick, Head Engineer, we headed into Dream House Studio. 

Over the next 24 months, with the help & collaboration of...

  • Raz's expertly crafted charts & arrangements.
  • Clifton David Broadbridge, taking us to the edge of the analog sonic frontier.     
  • Dream House, El Mocambo Productions, Revolution Recording, JCM.
  • My wife Lisa (my biggest fan), along for the entire ride.
  • The beautiful & talented Mara Sofferin, always by my side.
