about

All of the songs on this record were recorded at Phil's home studio in Holyoke before moving the setup to Martha's Vineyard, creating what is now TPS (The Print Shop) -- www.printshopaudio.com

Making this album was a 3 month process of writing, recording and collaborating with all the musicians involved. Some of the songs were written years before, while a few of them were created in those three months.
