Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
Sure… Now You’re Gone was a song that Joy had done with Band called Restless Soul and Songwriter Gregg Marks. I heard the song and thought we should redo it… though there were no immediate plans. I just always like the song and it seemed to fit in what we already do. So we finally decided to give it a go. And we’re happy how it turned out. It’s a great song. Much thanks to Gregg Marks to allow us to cover it!
Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
Yes… 3 Remix/Masters of previoudly released tracks currently in Mixing. Then to be Mastered at Abbey Road.
