about

It all started in maybe 2018 while touring with the band, Lonestar. We had just finished a casino show in south Florida and were on the bus, headed home. Keech, Brad and I were having a few drinks in the back lounge while Forensic Files played on the TV. Donning my noise canceling headphones, I cranked up my iPad and started playing around with GarageBand. Minutes later, I handed the iPad to Keech and asked him to lay down a beat. At some point, Rhett walked in and laid down a keyboard part and then I had the bright idea to attempt vocals. Now, here’s the deal… I’m in the very noisy back lounge of a tour bus with only an iPad and no additional mics or interfaces of any kind. I lowered the volume of the iPad’s built in mic and positioned it up to my mouth while cupping my hand over the area. Finally, with no written lyrics or any idea what I was going to sing, I let it fly. Everyone was amazed at the result and thus, the idea of a bus song project was born.

There are rules:

1. No song ideas. Everything MUST be improv
2. Absolutely NO pre written lyrics. Must be spontaneous
3. No additional equipment. iPad and GarageBand only
4. Must be recorded on a moving bus

The project took about two years and was completed by May of 2021. All tracks were extracted from GarageBand (an extremely arduous process) and then moved to Cubase 11 Pro to be mixed and mastered. In some cases, I added additional instruments or replayed parts though very rarely. Absolutely ALL vocals are the original, recorded directly into the iPad on a moving, loud bus. No additional vocals were recorded.
