Recording at the Sound Lounge with Kirk Douglas

September 24th, 2011

Here it is, I can’t believe that we’re into fall now  Our summer out here on the west coast lasted only about a month.  We had tons of rain this year and it was cold.  Not that I’m really complaining, I don’t like the scorching heat and prefer a milder temperature.  Ajaye loves the hot weather though, so she missed out.   She did take a trip to Hawaii this summer and caught up with some rays.  I went to San Diego for a nice get away.  Mild temperature there too, but the valley on the way home was really hot, around 38 C.

We are now in the middle of recording the new cd.  I’m leaning towards calling it “What ifs and the maybes”,  pretty cool title.  It comes as a line in one of the songs.  We had another working title, but I’m feeling pretty good about using this one.   Who knows though, by the end of it, it may change again.

So far we have everything done except for Ricky and his mandolin, Michael and his pedal steel and Douglas still has a few guitar parts.

Marc Gladstone is on board to help c0- produce this album.  It’s  a nice addition. We are leaning towards a more country pop batch of songs, more like Sugarland and Lady Antebellum.

Ajaye has written 3 songs on the cd this time, they are really good. I’m so proud of her.  She’s back at university in the Theater program.  Plus she’s recording songs for her solo career.

I’m busy with my other band Stone Poets.  A really cool – Alternative Dark Folk trio with Marc Gladstone and Scott Jackson.  We have been busy writing and recording and will be releasing a new EP, mid November.  You can check us out on our reverbnation site www.reverbnation/stonepoets

We’ll keep you posted when the recording for The Jardines is finished.  We’re looking at the end of October for mixing and hopefully have our cd ready, just in time for Christmas :)

At least just in time for festival submissions

Til next time, take care of each other and fill the world with love

Peace and love

Cherelle and Ajaye

April…

April 2nd, 2011

We’re back in the studio…

Starting next week, laying down beds at the Sound Lounge with Kirk Douglas.

We’ll be recording most of the summer and can’t wait to have you hear the new tunes

Our direction is changing a little, we’re going more towards a pop/country sound, leaving the alt behind.  I know you’re really going to like it

Keep tuned into the world, there is so much going on right now, stay close to each other and do what you can to make it better.  It’s all baby steps, but stepping makes it a leap of faith

Happy spring everyone

Peace and love
Cherelle and Ajaye
