About Me |
|
The New Deal was born in the fall of 2005 when I began the daunting adventure of digging myself out of a creative rut by simultaneously writing and recording 50 songs in 50 days - one song a day (I drove everyone in my life crazy). From my bedroom apartment on Avenue C - overlooking the FDR drive, the east river and the lighted city skyline - I completed a new song each night between October 14th and Dec. 6th (with a few days off). Often recording until dawn, I played all the instruments - drums, bass, guitars, piano, and organ. Any harmonies and other vocals you hear are also just mine. Of the resulting 50 self-produced songs, 32 will be available in the spring of 2006 as a three-disc set entitled The New Deal. If you play it loud you'll hear the ambulances, buses and traffic roaring by on the FDR drive. - FDR, Dec 17th 2005, NYC Also check out my alternate myspace site every month to hear and download more songs and for a sneak peak at some post New Deal recordings and B-sides. myspace.com/FDRtheNewDeal Management and Booking contact: Gabriel@rtartists.com To sign up for the newsletter send an email to: TheNewDeal@rtartists.com with "subscribe" in the subject line or fill out the form below.
