Hello & thanks for dropping by!

Despite recent hurdles (a couple of defective Apogee ONE's and an IT debacle when my notebook app didn't like the High Sierra OS update), the sessions are now officially booked!  :^)  One in April, two in May, and one in July.

Sorry if I haven't updated as often recently; work is actually proceeding at a feverish pace...and it's only because of your generosity!

Thanks again for your support & stay tuned - new music is on the way.  :^)

Blessings- Norm

GROOVES & SUSHI is ON!!!

My extreme gratitude for your interest & generous support; despite the Kickstarter campaign not reaching its funding goal, I'm ELATED to announce that some extravagant contributions have since come in and with the Kickstarter backers who stuck with me, the project is officially greenlighted!

To say that I'm excited is a huge understatement.  My first new music since 2009's Tea In The Typhoon is also my most ambitious project yet and will tentatively feature iconic players including Gregg Bissonette, Vinnie Colaiuta, Chris Coleman, Lincoln Brewster, and many others!

While sufficient funding has come in to proceed, my updated calcs reflect I'm still a bit short of getting all the way to the finish line.  I'd be honored if you would consider partnering with me.

To make it as simple & quick as possible, here's a PayPal button to back the project & receive the corresponding backer reward:

 

 

If you have any questions, please fill out the below & I’ll be in touch asap, ok?

My profuse thanks for your support.  Let’s make some music together! 

Blessings- Norm

P.S.  YES, I will still honor all backer rewards as outlined in the original Kickstarter campaign (see right column - many prices have been reduced)!  :^)

Domestic airfare to Orange County*
