The Fitted Shirt played at Brew’d Awakening again last night. Another Fun show! We played 3 Vigor songs again and I felt better than ever about my voice. It’s been a long time getting my voice back to normal after the surgery and it feels absolutely wonderful to share it with people again! The rest of the pics can be seen here.

Fitted Shirt recording session 3 was percussion day. Tom is just about done with his parts. Next week Bryan will be coming. Dan and I will be recording some stuff on Tuesday as well.

Tara made me an AWESOME painting. She told me that since I’m allergic to pets, she painted me a bat. SO FUNNY!!! It makes me laugh hysterically!

Also, Steph and I are going to see Dredg at The Middle East in a few weeks!!!! sooooo grrooooood!

About Section Complete / The Fitted Shirt In The Studio – Day 2

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

That’s right, the about section is now complete! Head on over and enjoy. I wrote a new Vigor song as well! It’s  a jaaaaaaammmm.

Last night was the 2nd Fitted Shirt recording session for the new album, tentatively titled “Hibernation”. We got 4 of Dan’s acoustic tracks done. Things are sounding nice!

Day 2

Day 2 - More X's!

The Fitted Shirt In The Studio – Day 1!

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Day one in the studio with the guys. We’ve got a 10 track album all mapped out. Drums, melodica, and keys are done for “Caught A Cloud” and “Television” are done. They sound AWESOME!

Bryguy yelled out “pickledick!” before starting a piani part. SO FUNNY!

All lined up and tracking!

I can’t say enough about how talented these guys are. It’s so much fun and soooo easy to work with such incredible musicians! It’s one of the first times I’ve been in a band where I’m not better than most of the musicians. Not to sound conceited…it just feels wonderful to be around musicians that I can learn from and push me to be better! These guys are really good at their stuff, and we can all play one or two(or more) instruments , yes that means you Tom! Drums and percussion are different instruments to me, since I’ve realized I’m not as good as percussion as I thought I was! Yay room to grow!

It’s also cool to see a few of the guys getting their first or second time in the studio. Hopefully I’ll be able to teach them some of the random stuff that I’ve learned from working with Megan over the past million years.

In other news, Jeff wrote my “About”, so that’ll be finalized and posted soon(maybe tonight depending on how much I get into NBA Live 09)!

Wahoo! I feel complete now that music is %100 back in my life. It’s a wonderful feeling.

You can check out the rest of the pics over at facebook, when it decides that it will let me upload pics EDIT, It’s working now!

Check out Vigor on Facebook an be sure to become a fan! It still won’t let me upload music. I’m hoping it will eventually because I have exclusive awesome songs for you!!!

As for that interesting feeling from the last post. I figured it out(wahooo) but don’t want to post publically about it. Those close to me know! If you’d like to know, ask!

Even More Shows, TFS Recording, A New Geeetar, and An Interesting Feeling

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Friday’s show a Brew’d Awakening was wonderful! Sooooo much fun. We got invited back to play a full set, details below. We also managed to snag a show at Life Alive. We’re 4 for 4 in playing shows and then getting asked back to play again! As for the Life Alive show, we weren’t even playing! We were eating dinner! ahhaah. We’re playing another open mic in Groton, Ma at the end of the month, and again at Tupelo next month. More deets soon!

The Fitted Shirt
@Brew’d Awakening
61 Market St, Lowell, MA 01852
7-9pm / FREE!
The Fitted Shirt will be playing originals, covers, and Vigor songs for approx. 2 hours.

The Fitted Shirt will be here to record in my studio next weekend. We’re going to start tracking drums for a few of the hitz. We love music, yay music!

Now that playing shows seems to be routine, I bought a new acoustic electric yesterday. It’s beeeauuutifulll!!!! SEE!

Lily

yay!

It’s a Yamaha APX500FM OVS. I’ll take more pics when I get my camera back from Janelle this week. Plays beautifully and makes me happy :) .

As for the interesting feeling part. Now that I have music back in my life, when I get home after a show or the next day, I feel very alone. It’s a new sort of alone feeling. I believe that music is always a part of me, but nothing can compare to the feeling of sharing it on stage. It’s almost like I settle into the old me when I’m back home, but my brain thinks, “Don’t do that! You’re awesome now, remember?!?!?!”. A very, very interesting feeling.

I know exactly what is missing, I’m just not sure how to get to it.
