#ThrowbackThursday brings you back to #BehindtheScenes Part EIGHT inside the #Tempermill studio in Ferndale, MI the home of a vintage #Harrison3232. I have had the pleasure of being friends with #PaulRandolph for a long time. 🎸 Paul is a charting international artist based in Detroit as well as an in demand bassist, vocalist, and producer. Among his most recent accomplishments is the #Billboard #1 #Rockalbum of 2021 #AliceCooper “#DetroitStories” on which he played, sang and co-produced. He is a musically diverse artist with an impressive recording and touring history that includes frontman and songwriter with the German collective #Jazzanova in addition to his solo and collaborative works. ⭐️ I have asked Paul to record with me and he appears on many of my songs you have heard on #SiriusXM #Bluesville CH.74 hits like "#anotherlifetime© " and "#breakingandentering🚨." In this session Paul lends his incredible feel to "#GotaGun (feat. @billydavisd," & "#Heathen" both of which you can hear now on my bandcamp #linkinbio. As artists, we over time find tools that fit the job, sometimes it's necessity other times its a love thing. Here Paul talks about his latest #fenderbass that he has customized and gotten some very famous Detroit signatures on. If you get a chance to hear Paul live don't miss him you will be glad you did. That's super engineer and bass player #EricMaluchnik in the background doing one of his many cool jobs. 🎥 #TBT #MusicMakers #PeopleYouShouldKnow #RecordingArtist #Producer #TouringMusicians #DetroitBased #MusicLover #Creator #BassMusician 💙 Full Video Here: https://youtu.be/CUxNCbcA29E 🎞 (at The Tempermill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTmHixgx_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#BEHINDTHESCENES PART SIX inside favorite Metro Detroit analog studio "The Tempermill" in Ferndale MI. Longtime music friend and sista in voice #KymberliWright who has graced many a stage, even was nominated for a Grammy for her hometown band "Straight Ahead." Kymberli recorded only on this one song on my forthcoming album "Badder to the Bone" and I was happy to have her there. I wrote "#HEATHEN" on very very frustrating day during the covid pandemic. Have a listen to the structure of the vocals as I had already put my arrangement and parts down and Kymberli was doubling my backing but with her own unique voice. Longtime tracking and recording engineer #EricMaluchnik makes a quick appearance. Now with just a few days away you will get to hear the entire album so get your special vibrant color limited edition disc before they are gone forever. #BADDERTOTHEBONE Now available for a Listen and for Pre-Order #linkinbio See the entire video here https://youtu.be/cV6EozGczHo #BTS #BluesMusic #gospelblues #bluesvocal #contemporaryblues #pianoblues #modernblues #femaleproducer #recordingengineer #analogboard #Harrison3232 #vintagemicrophone #soulblues #newmusic #arranger #backupvocals #choirvocals #soul #Detroitsoul #likeapro #feelit #arethafranklin #churchpiano #oneofakind ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (at The Tempermill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CclBKzClY0E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Recording next week!

Tomorrow we have our last practice before we go into the recording studio (The Tempermill in Ferndale, MI) to do our next album. We had the opportunity to check out a few studios around the metro-Detroit area but our feelings were cemented about The Tempermill when we got the chance to do one track there a few months ago. The strings sounded like butter from the get-go and everything about the process was smooth. It didn't even feel like we were working! 

So we're glad to be going back there for the next album. Tomorrow's rehearsal is going to be pretty epic and long as we give these songs their last few tweaks. We've got 13 songs ready to go, including 3 that have not been played live, so even if you've seen us in the last few months there will still be some surprises for you. We couldn't be more excited about this. Onward and upward!

Love, Kaylan (& The Juliets)
