Album #1

Next week marks the recording of the first album.  I wasn't proud enough to record an album until it was perfect.  I wanted to record music I would want to listen to and its finally ready.  In under 2 years I went from saying I was a musician to being a real one.  I remember recording vocal clips without a band and what it felt like to sing alone.  Now its more beautiful then I could have ever hoped, it is time to put to rest songs that represent such a tragic yet transformative stage in my life.  

I can finally say that every song on this album brings me such joy and pride.  I have yet to feel that until now. I had a lot of musician leave never understanding where I wanted to take my music.  I felt heartbreak to the harshest degree and yet decided even then to take something ugly and make it beautiful. Every word, every note more pretty then the next.  I passionately believe that when you continue on through hardship you will eventually come to a clearing.  You will be given such a gift as long as you still believe.  Never wavering in the sight of hopelessness.  Continuing on even though you will at times feel like you stand alone.  You will always stand alone when it comes to the art of believing.   No one cares as much as you do. 

With the album to be recorded next week and released to the world soon I am hopeful and excited.  It has been a journey of many ups and downs but I wouldn't change not one thing.  I have learned lessons along the way.  I have been shown many truths and for that I am forever thankful. 

Heres to the first album and having it be recorded without smoke and mirrors.  The Ray Charles way of recording live and in under 3 takes per song. 

From Dani and The Mad Men to Dani Erin featuring The Jimmy Valentin Trio where it was once a idea to an actual thing.
