I had the good fortune earlier this year to work on a pair of EPs for a couple of very talented artists.

Rebecca Loebe's The Brooklyn Series EP started out life as a quick-'n'-dirty, one-weekend affair late last year, but the quality of the songs and the performances quickly outran whatever notions we had about this being a small record. Yes, it's short, but it's also the most intense work to come out of this young artist. Rebecca's CDBaby write-up says it best: "Folk-rock minstrel Rebecca Loebe pulled over to reflect on heartbreak, down some red wine, fall asleep to the evening news and wake up to a handful of dark chocolate in the 'peace and quiet' of Brooklyn."


Ken Kiser's eponymous EP gives the world a first taste of his brand of Mason Jennings-/Jack Johnson-flavored songwriting prowess. Anchored by Ken's voice, which moves easily from hilltop proclamations to whiskey-soaked morning afters, this set of songs gets into your throat and your foot so thoroughly that you almost miss its depth. We had a great time working on this record, and you ought to check it out.

Much more in the works for the second half of '07. Stay tuned...
