The Carolyn Sills Combo releases debut album!

Well friends, it's been quite some time since I last updated the ol' blog, but I am proud to announce that we have a new record! The new cd features the beautiful and talented, Ms Carolyn Sills on electric bass and lead vocals, me on various acoustic & electric guitars and harmony vocals, and our west coast combo (sometimes referred to as the Santa Cruz Music Mafia) Charlie Joe Wallace on steel guitar, Jimmy Norris on drums and the lovely Ms Sunshine Jackson on harmony vocals.  The record is the culmination of our adventures out west, including a 6 month stint in Phoenix while I attended Roberto-Venn, to our lives here in Santa Cruz where we've been busy building guitars at The Santa Cruz Guitar Company, playing and writing new music and exploring the coastal wonders of Northern California. The album reflects our deep love of American roots music, from western swing, country, blues and even the spaghetti western soundtracks of Ennio Morricone (not exactly direct from America but hey...)

The Carolyn Sills Combo cd is available through our website, iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon.You can listen to songs at our CD Baby page and our SoundCloud page.

We also have the first of several videos available on our YouTube page.  Here's the direct link to the video for Johnny Cellars.
