Earlier in the year of 2009, Laura Veirs invited me to record a bit on her new album. Tucker Martine was at the helm once more, and Steve Moore and Eyvind Kang were again going to be a part of what would become July Flame. On my last visit to Portland, I stopped by Tucker's and he burned a copy for me. I'm pretty much smitten with the songs. It's back to Laura's guitar on this record and her thoughtful lyrics are as prominent as ever.

I ended up contributing quite a lot to July Flame.  I played bass guitar on July Flame, Sun is King, Silo Song, and Summer is the Champion;  some saxophone on Summer is Champion and Carol Kaye, sang back up on Where Are You Driving?, Life Is Good Blues, Carole Kaye; one actual duet with Laura on the last track Make Something Good; harmonica and Carol Kaye; and one ripping guitar solo on Little Deschuttes.

Laura is self releasing July Flame, on her Raven Marching Band Label. So be sure and hound your local independent record store to carry it!
