This is the first show Obadiah will have played together in about five years. When the offer came through (not a week before the show), we all figured, “why not?” I don’t think any of us were certain as to what exactly was going to happen at our first scheduled session / rehearsal. That being the past now, I would say that it feels as if we never stopped in the first place. I won’t say that, though, because I feel we are all actually much better musicians now with a more mature sound then what it was when we left off.
This is likely going to be a rare one off as drummer, Josh Russell, will be shipping out to Oregon in just a few weeks. So come on down and see what Obadiah has become. You will not be disappointed.

So recently I have been working on a new project that’s mostly still under wraps. The scope of the thing is yet to be seen, but so far the music is being sculpted by myself, Megan Driscoll and Katie Collins. We began with some stuff I had written, got it downish and reconstructed here and there. Last Wednesday, however, we ended up with this track, which was a completely collaborative process.
We’re not entirely certain what to do with it yet and it’s definitely rough around the edges, but it’s really come together well to this point. You do have to forgive the levels on the thing. It was recorded very simply, which did not leave me a lot of room to work with when it came to mixing and mastering.
Recorded on July 21st, 2010.
Katie Collins – omnichord
Megan Driscoll – flute
Arrison Kirby – beats & guitar
