Great job! Please tell us a little bit about your songs. Who does what (singer/instruments/composition/production), and maybe what the story behind them is, if there is one.
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Like Cave street says.....Blue Rodeo, thats a good comparison, and that is a high compliment indeed, one of the best loved Canadian bands out there....you done real good here Andy.
Vocals: Sabrina Doughty
Lyrics: Grant D. McLeman
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This is the 2012 remix.
This song was based on a free-form lyric by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland. Quite a challenge ... :)

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
An Original Hojo Riff, soon to be a classic. Recorded on Pro Tools featuring a '67 Tele and an acoustic Larrivee. The drum track needs help, any suggestions?
Guitars: Alina Yudaeva
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…
that's some vicious rhythm starting this but with a title like Vlad it could be nothing but.....great lead as always......liking that manic speed at about 2.30...impressive piece....
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
My version of this classic guitar instrumental. It was cool to learn that radio stations banned this back in the day since they thought it was too raunchy and violent, even though it didn't have any lyrics.
Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…
Louis was back in the cellar last night and he was telling Reg how Blue he was and they got to jamming...............This morning i arrived at the cellar to find Bon was passed out in the corner....Dave was right with his guess....He could never…
@ Dave:
Why, Louie Armstrong, of course!

I don't know brother - your basement is beginning to sound like the bar in Kubrick's "The Shining". I'm beginning to worry about you.
Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…
Rehearsal, from video capture. I think Christopher and Wade had gone through the song one time previously. I'm not crediting them cause I'm not sure they want their names on this, which is for illustrative purposes only in the context of an international…

You are definitely a master of your trade. This song has a nice, foot-tapping rhythm. Regards, Steffen
Very cool song
Very nice country-rock. Country the way I like it - and that excludes a lot of country songs. :) Regards, Steffen

Is that Brina singing? Sounds great. Another cool song.
Superb, this album. The multi-instrumental approach is definitely a big strength, but the way everything forms a cohesive whole is really impressive.
oh good :)
you should send this one to Sade (for a small fee, of course :)
nice, sad little song - hat's off to the vocalist, too :)
Solid road trip feel. Welcome to AT
I like this a lot - very nice work :) It would make a nice film soundtrack, I think
