Fun with Auto-Tune

In case you were wondering (and I'm sure you were) Sweetgrass took a little sabbatical over the winter while some of its members were "indisposed". Well what's a feller to do when his band is disbanded? Well there's always Garage Band. Program a little bass and drums, and phh! who needs band members?! Of course for maximum thrills (and to sound like modern pop-radio) you will always want to turn up the Auto-Tune function all the way to 11! Or not.... You decide.

Police Blotter

Clark Case dropped by the Lost Boot Recording Studio last Wednesday to "lay down a few tracks" as they say. We got a guitar and a couple of vocal tracks out of him, while Heather lent her voice to the chorus and a bit of extemporaneous squawking. Police Blotter is a Clark original featuring actual details from the Rio Grande Sun. I added some guitar, electronic bass, drums and sound effects. Admittedly, there's some goofy timing in our hastily composed effort, but it still manages to be an entertaining 2 and a half minutes. Calling all cops!

Sweet Nothings

Will we see a Sweetgrass album in the stores soon? Highly unlikely. What with two of our members departing for destinations unknown and returning who knows when.

If you got a chance to listen to the local foursome (now a precarious quintet) at one of its local showings this past summer, you might have heard this cover of a Cowboy Junkies tune. This version is just Heather, myself and a drum machine.

Crescent Moon by Sweetgrass

As soon as we hear back from that A&R man, we'll let you know.
