Christopher Smith + The Beckon Call

Very excited to have has JP Carter in the stu­dio. I’m a big big fan of his work. He has made an amaz­ing addi­tion to “Earn­ing Keep” mak­ing sev­eral appear­ances through out.

In this clip Andy Bishop of White Ash Falls, and Red Cedar lays down some Lap Steel, on the song “Meat and Mar­row”. Check out White Ash Falls here: http://​radio3​.cbc​.ca/​#​/​b​a​n​d​s​/​W​h​i​t​e​-​A​s​h​-​F​a​lls

Another Quick clip of record­ing. Here, my brother Mat­thew sings and plays “Sam­son”, a track off the upcom­ing Earn­ing Keep while cel­list Mishele Faehr­mann runs through here parts for the first time.

For months now, I’ve been in the stu­dio work­ing on my second album, “Earn­ing Keep” planned to release in Feb­ru­ary 2012. I’ve spent time record­ing at Vancouver’s Mush­room stu­dios (now Hip­po­sonic) as well as, at the albums pro­du­cer Todd Simko’s home stu­dio, Hear­ing Pro­tec­tion Required. This is a clip from a recent ses­sion at Todd’s where we’re record­ing piano tracks, along with some scratch vocals soon to be replaced by some very spe­cial guest artists.
