If you had told me 20 years ago that I would be involved in a guitar company working closely with a legendary band like the Yellowjackets, I would have thought you were crazy! We are incredibly grateful to the Yellowjackets for their hospitality during their week-long residency at Birdland NYC this past week. For David and me, this event is always a pilgrimage, as we've been fans from the very beginning—43 years and counting!
It was amazing to hear the other band members discuss Dane's playing and his unique sound. It was also fascinating to hear their thoughts on our next instrument project with Dane, and how it will again influence the band's music and direction when it’s played. Much like when we first heard the RSVP4-22, it was mind-blowing to witness that iconic sound, which gained prominence in the hands of legends like James Jamerson, Paul Jackson, and Rocco Prestia, envelop the Yellowjackets with that funky gravy of a tone.
The new record is nearly finished, just some post-production efforts, mixing, and mastering left. Dane hinted that this will be a NYBW tour de force if ever there was one! Stay tuned for updates—we’ll let you know as soon as we have a release date!
