"In an effort to capture the energy created while performing live, I wanted to record an album of myself and my friends in music Josh Gibbs (lap steel guitar) and Andy Gibbon (bass) in a simple format... the formula being relax, push record, and just play. So we gathered one afternoon end of December 2014 with only our instruments, four microphones, an out-dated recording device, and the drive to play music for the sake of playing music. I also wanted to revisit some songs previously recorded that have grown and changed a bit through the years... hence the title 'Old News'. These are songs we perform often when gigging and they remain in slow flux. This recording is raw, yet ripe with the spirit of music." -Dave Desmelik
