Wrapping up "Ties to the Grid"

Well, after all the hard work, preparation, multiple takes, late nights, Red Bulls, coffee, note-taking sessions, ideas, arguments, laughs and trips to Connecticut, we can finally say our first album is DONE...sort of.

We're fresh off our final recording session for "Ties to the Grid" after one last trip up to Hartford. We stayed up until 4am on Friday going over each song and thinking of ideas for improvements. On Saturday, it was time to execute them. After a short, yet EXTREMELY productive day of recording guitars, piano, claps and harmonies at the Hartt Institute, we wrapped up "Ties to the Grid" on our end.

Thank you to Mike (and his fiance Mary), Emmett,"Rusty" and all the engineers at Telefunken Studios for staying up late with us and helping so, so much throughout the entire recording process. We love you and we appreciate everything more than you know.

So as I mentioned, we are "sort of" finished with the album. Next up is having some studio musicians (and good friends like Emmett Drake) record some guitar, percussion, horns and organ tracks—then the mixing and mastering phase will begin.

In the meantime, TSGD will be taking photos, designing the album art, copyrighting songs and promoting the release of the album.

We are indescribably pumped for the final product. We can't wait for it to hit your ears. TIES TO THE GRID IS COMING!

Check out a few pictures from the weekend here.
