Ghost In the Grain album Pre-Order

Hello Friends! My fourth, and by far, most ambitious collection of music is nearing completion. We are already in the final mixing stage. I’m incredibly excited and grateful to all the extraordinary musicians and recording engineers who have helped me bring this very special music to life. The Album is titled - Ghost in the Grain, and contains 12 songs. It's not an album that can be easily boxed up and called one certain style. I've drawn creatively from my lifetime of musical influences, inspirations and experiences. I've also drawn from a wonderfully colorful pallet of life experiences which have fueled my creative drive. You can expect hard driving funk and rock grooves provided by premier funk drummer John Staten and myself, combined with a soulful blend of power house instrumental performances and soaring vocals provided by Alan Parsons Project front man - PJ Olssen. The album is also rich with fiery, and at times sublime guitars, cascading organ, piano and keys, in addition to enchanting horns. Finally, expect some very cool twists and turns that create a wonderful world music flavor via unusual instruments, and the masterful percussion of Gumbi Ortiz.

I'm offering a pre-release special here that will help me to pay for the final stages of completion, mastering and release expenses. I’m humbly asking for your help. By contributing only $15.00 here, you will have already pre-paid for the high quality download version, and you will receive it 2 weeks prior to the official release. You will get the album before anyone else, and be able to instantly download all the songs to your computer, iPad, iPhone, Droid, Tablet or any other device.   Should you wish to donate more, and provide some additional financial support that is certainly welcome and deeply appreciated, but not necessary of course.  Targeted pre-release delivery date is April 20, 2017 


Below are the details of all involved in creating this album, and each of the tremendous musicians who contributed.

Thank you for your on going support and I hope you will love this collection of music as much as I’ve loved creating it.
