Gabe The Real

A couple weeks ago Gabriel Griffith was up from LA recording some demos at my place to end his long songwriting hiatus. Back in the day Gabe and I had a band together, first Albatross and later The Idlers, and our roommate, Greg Peters, was a plank breaking karate man who'd never touched tone bar to string. One of the songs Gabe brought north the other day was just a verse, hook and riff until we put our heads together and wrote a few more verses to trade off singing, a little harmony, and a spare guitar part. My friend Alex Baum lay a track on the cello he'd recently acquired and hadn't played more than a couple times. Demos and One Offs by shadymaples
