Update on Progress

I would like to update you all on my recording sessions and on how much I've got finished, and how much I've got to go yet. Also I will fill in on my life since my last post, which was in June.
I'm going to try to get a post on my blog atleast once a month now. Keep it kinda active. Now, for the recording side of life, I have four songs recorded for my debut album. One out of the four I need to redo the vocals..no big deal. I'm still not sure how many songs will be on the album, as I keep on writing more lol. I'm thinking around 12-13 songs. I've got a price figured up already, but I will keep that a secret for now. It ain't much at all! Most of those recordings were done today while I had the house to myself. Its good to be alone once in awhile!
Now, for the rest of my life in the past few months..hmm lets see! I had a birthday on September 8th, I'm now 22. I bought myself a b-day gift, you can now check out http://www.brandonroyer.com! I thought I might need a website for my music and pics! I didn't do a whole lot really since June...I did go to an open mic last Tuesday just to watch. Might play there someday, dunno. I've also been busy hunting, working on my motorcycle, putting brakes on my truck, and working at my real job!
Well, I guess thats all for now, I gotta sign off and go to bed. Thanks for reading, and check out my website!

First Recording

Tonight I decided to pick up the old acoustic Taylor and have a go at a recording session. I think I did about five takes and finally have a decent recording. Its not perfect, but this ain't a perfect world, and I'm not a very good guitar player! I think I might use it for the album though. I have to have some singing sessions in the coming days and see if I can polish it up alittle bit. Then I will only have ten more songs to record! Man, this is alot more work than I figured! I'm glad I am an independent artist. My own boss, my own time....but also my own money lol. Anyways, keeping you updated! I'll post again this month!

LIVE

Last night I played live at the "Grand Old Jamboree," a local picking parlor. This is the second time I played there, and the 2nd time total I played live. I was really nervous at first, but settled down by song two. I played two Waylon Jennings tunes, "Lonesome O'nry and Mean, and "Waymore Blues." The last two songs I did I wrote myself, which the crowd still seemed to enjoy it. I even had some old lady in the front row dancing lol. It made me feel really good about my singing and playing. I am looking forward to singing there again soon.
