had a lot in common with it on a
much smaller level. I think that’s
what made me feel at home there
from the very first visit many years
ago during our first tour with
Mr. Reality.
It was the inspiration to bring
Writers In The Raw to Asbury Park
and help foster that kind of community. That show seemed to really take off and start a great energy
that continues to grow to this day.
I love that there are a whole bunch
of other writers in the round type
of shows now. I’m proud of that.
However, most of all it’s the craft
of songwriting that you really can
learn a thing or two in Nashville.
You can build relationships with so
many great hit writers and artists.
I’ve been traveling back and forth
since 2003. Reagan actually lived
there for seven years, was a session singer, worked with Dreamworks, but moved back to Jersey
to take care of her dad who was
suffering from cancer.
When do you hope to have a full
album available? We’re about
twenty songs in and we’re experimenting with all kinds of different combinations. Reagan and I
write together all the time but in
Nashville we got together with
very talented and well respected
friends like Paul Sidoti who is Taylor Swift’s guitarist and also one of
the nicest and most humble guys
you could ever meet. We also got
to write a great one with Cyndi
Thomson who had some monster
hits in her solo career a few years
back. Her voice is still as angelic
and amazing as ever. Among
many others, one of our favorite
writes was with the legendary
Billy Burnette, who Reagan knew
from her Les Paul days, and who
replaced Lindsey Buckingham
in Fleetwood Mac from 1987 to
1995. Once we feel we have the
right collection of songs together,
we’re planning for a full release in
Spring of 2015.
