The Viking Progress Sessions

I spent the first part of this week tracking some drums for Patrick Morales’s project The Viking Progress. The record is based on ideas and perspectives from people as the world ends. AND he wrote them while working on a fishing boat in Alaska. The songs are awesome and I’m really glad I got to be a part of the project.

We recorded with Suny Lyons at Popheart Productions. Dude, that place is nice. Suny was great and I’m really stoked with how my Stauffer Steam Bent sounded. All of this and Patrick wrote this wonderful recommendation:

“I’ve recently had the opportunity to have Lemuel do some session work for me and it couldn’t have been a more pleasant experience. Aside, from being a really great dude he’s also patient and a focused listener in the studio. He has the great ability to set aside his instincts and inclinations and play whatever a song needs or might be required of by the writer or producer. I highly recommend him for anything my musician friends might need. Seriously, he’s great. Contact him.”

He’s too kind.
