Robbie (or I guess Danny) is really ready to go to the beach! (Also, when I read the title, I thought of a hurricane warning... It’s been a long couple of years!) Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitars, bass, recording Daniel…

After we’d recorded some tracks for “Fog” at the first Saturday session of the month, I (Kevin) asked if we could just jam for a few minutes. Kenny came up with the chords, then played bass and sang, while Matt and Robbie played guitar and I bashed…

Robbie and his buddy Danny came up with the words for this one, and Robbie recorded most of the instruments on his own. I (Kevin) just added MIDI drums. Robbie Robinson - lyrics, vocals, songwriting, guitars, bass, recording Daniel Shea…

Rebecca wrote a sweet poem and we put it to music! Rebecca Tannehill – lyrics Kenny Tannehill – vocals, songwriting, acoustic guitar, recording Robbie Robinson – lead guitar, background vocals Margaret Bibb – background vocals Kevin Craig…

Robbie and his buddy Danny came up with the words for this one, then Robbie brought the guitar parts and we added the rest. Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, lead and background vocals, guitars, piano, recording Daniel Shea – lyrics…

At the first group recording session, I (Kevin) mentioned “Foggier By the Day” as a potential working title for this year’s RPM Challenge album, as that’s kind of how everything feels, and we’d all taken a few dramatic pictures over a couple of…

This one started out with me (Kevin) recording some drum parts to a click track after the group wrapped up a Saturday recording session. I took the drum parts home and threw some MIDI keyboard loops over them, consciously trying for a Boards of…

Robbie showing off his John Lennon influence. Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, lead vocals, guitar, recording Kenny Tannehill – background vocals, bass Margaret Bibb – lyrics Kevin Craig – lyrics, recording, MIDI drum programming…

Alternate version of a sweet little song that Margaret, Kenny, and I (Kevin) recorded for a different recording project. We re-recorded the acoustic instruments for the "real" version, so I used the original live-off-the-floor guitar and bass…

A catchy tale of love gone wrong. Kenny Tannehill - lyrics, arrangement, vocals, acoustic guitar Dan Hollands - electric guitar Mike Anders - Italian kiss-offs Kevin Craig - recording, drums, bass, mixing Get Out Of Here (Arrivederci…

Mike’s sweet meditation on the fleeting intersection of two phases of life. Mike Anders - songwriting, lyrics, vocals, guitar John “JD” Di Dio - harmonica Margaret Bibb - background vocals Kevin Craig - bass, recording, mixing Through…

Yet another casserole thrown together at the last minute! Added a homebrewed percussion loop and some Hainbach drum loops to the second half of a guitar and bass jam that Dan and Kevin had recorded previously, then ran all that through some AudioThing…

Some of the Collective got together at the studio on the last Saturday in April (the first chance we'd had that month!) to record some stuff. After putting down some tracks with the group for another song, Dan and I (Kevin) jammed to a click track…

Initial take for Mike's song. Not too bad for the first run-through. Mike Anders - songwriting, lyrics, vocals, guitar John "JD" Di Dio - harmonica Kevin Craig - bass, recording, mixing

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it! Robbie Robinson…

Everything was recorded live off the floor except the harmony vocal track, which was added a couple of weeks later. Margaret Bibb – lyrics, songwriting, vocals Robbie Robinson – guitar Kevin Craig – recording, bass, mixing These Old Boots…

Another lovely Monroe/Robinson collaboration. This one was recorded piecemeal across the whole month of February 2024, with Robbie adding the guitar lead on 2/29 while I (Kevin) was doing the final(-ish) mixes! Leum Monroe – lyrics Robbie…

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album. On 2/17, we recorded John’s drum tracks for the full 5-minute song, then got a take of Cody playing keys along…

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the…
