The Widetrack Chronicles 51: Tribal

Tribal was one of the first songs Zach and I wrote together... It came together rather quickly... Basically, I sat down at the drums, he recorded me playing some beats, then I went and made some phone calls... When I returned, he had all the guitar and bass parts worked out... Just blew me away...

Once we found our groove, we realized we had a wonderful creative chemistry that allowed us to team up on the different aspects of these songs...

And so, it was decided…

Here it is... The premier of our second new monthly song of 2019! 

~Story behind the song~

A few years back, I had a friend who was a pretty nice, generous guy… We hung out a lot and had a lot of mutual friends… 

Then he got on Facebook, and, like certain individuals we’ve all known, he started to develop a pretty serious “god complex” of sorts… 

His “dime store wisdom” posts were incessant… and nauseatingly patronizing, to be honest… 

And even though it was a rare thing for him to receive much more…

The Widetrack Chronicles 47: New song announcement and backstory

It is not even halfway through January, and I can already tell that 2019 is going to be a monumental year for the band... 

As stated in a previous blog, Widetrack is now the partnership of my son Zach and I, and, beginning in just a couple days, we are going to be recording and releasing one brand-new song per month… 

Then, at the end of the year, we will compile all the songs for our complete fourth album... 

We already have roughly 15-20…

Looking back ay 2018 and forward to 2019

What a fantastic year it's been... Some highly significant milestones and goals achieved...

We began 2018 with the mixing of our third album, Widetrack III... Meanwhile, Zach and I had already begun writing songs for the next one (more on that in a minute)...

The album was finally finished and released on May 18th... Much to our joy, it was received very well, and even gained a few really nice reviews...

All the while, Zach's writing…

It's been a busy couple of months!

The Widetrack Chronicles 28: Bright Spots

"Ceaseless change is an unreliable basis for lasting fulfillment. Realizing this, many people begin to wonder whether a deeper source of well-being exists. Is there a form of happiness beyond the mere repetition of pleasure and avoidance of pain? Is there a happiness that does not depend upon having one’s favorite foods available, or friends and loved ones within arm’s reach, or good books to read, or something to look forward to on the weekend? Is it possible to…
