Steve Postell * Renegade Music Group: News

We had a wonderful time on Sunday at Trilogy Guitars as part of the Acoustic Sunset Series, playing a show to promote my new CD, "Until You Get Here". Jeff Pevar, Joel Derouin, Peter Adams...doesn't get any better than that! Keep an eye out for DEC 4th gig at Trilogy with the wonderful Stephan Bruton.

Steve Ferrone, John & I just recorded some blues cues for BMG/Killer Trax. This was so much fun I'm posting some of them on the music page. I got to play Sam's old '67 Fender P bass as well! Getting ready for Nov 13th gig with Jeff Pevar (who just finished touring with CS&N) and the brilliant violinist Joel Derouin (who is currently touring with Sheryl Crow). New CD countdown...due NOV.6th!

I'm back to 12 hour days in the studio. We're producing 3 very talented young artists: Jack Dill, Erin Toland and Boo Ray. Keep an eye out for them all. Tonight I'm rehearsing with Cassy Denver and the band which incudes CS&N keyboardist James Raymond and Melissa Etheredge bassist Mark Brown for Sunday's gig. Recorded 6 blues tunes for Killer Tracks, that was fun...sorry bass player friends but I love playing bass with Ferrone. 3 weeks until my new CD arives.

The mountains keep calling me back. 15 hours and lots of tunes later I'm here with Casey Waldman & Cassy Denver where we will perform at John Denver's Windstar Symposium this Friday (Snowmass Conference Center) Drive was smooth, can always fall back on my driving skills if this music thing doesn't pan out!

Steve has finished his succesful tour with Tom Petty, and we're back to work, producing artists Erin Toland, Boo Ray, Jack Dill and others. My new CD entitled "Until You Get Here", a retrospective from the past 10 years work, will be released within the month on Renegade Records.

John Jones & I finally finished mixing the Rock School kids song "Zombie Love". Sounds great, future rock stars! I'll post it soon. Neil Peart (legendary drummer for Rush) was in the studio this week recording his part for the animation "Aqua Team Hunger Force". Almost done with new CD, thrilled to be working on a project with Jennifer Warnes, staying out of trouble. (I think)

I'm back to the studio after a terrific weekend of gigs with my friends Dana Pomfret and Freebo. I want to thank the owners of all 3 venues, all true music lovers who went out of there way to make us feel comfortable and appreciated. Paul Kulak at Kulak's Woodshed, John Silva at Trilogy guitars, and Michael Perry at Zoey's cafe.

Nathan East came into the studio Tuesday night and played killer bass on the Jack Dill CD we're working on. Rehearsing for the weekend shows with Dana & Freebo. Guitars today on Jack's CD.

Keb Mo was in this morning, he's producing one of my favorite bands, The Subdudes. Ferrone played a couple of drum tracks on that record, then played the most groovin' tracks on a couple of Motown style songs my buddy Steve Lang and I wrote for Kid Gloves Music. JJ got killer drum sounds using Phoenix plug-ins.

16 hours and 1 blowout later, I'm back home from Colorado. Off to the studio to say hello to partner Steve Ferrone before his Tom Petty gig tonight. I'll be rehearsing for Cassy Denver gig Sat. night at Zoey's in Ventura. Jack Dill, the artist we're producing, will be opening the show. See you there.

I just got back from Colorado with Freebo, where we taught "The Real School Of Rock". John Oates came by and talked to the kids, we played "She's Gone" for them. Freebo and I performed a house concert in the extraordinary studio of artists James Surls and Charmaine Locke. The kids did a great job and wrote a hit song called "Zombie Love". Keep an eye on the charts!

Today we finish up "The Real School Of Rock". We'll do the last bit of recording, and the kids will perform their original song "Zombie Love" for the parents. It's been a great experience, we hope to do it again.
