A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT THE RECORDING OF MY NEW CHRISTMAS SONG :) - December 4, 2011
It's been a GREAT weekend! I spent these past 3 days with Eric-Jon at Architect Records in Boston recording my new song Christmas on Spring Island... and let me tell you.. it has been an insanely long weekend FULL of beautiful and inspiring madness..... After trying out a bunch of pianos and piano sounds, we FINALLY found one we liked. And after a day and a half, we finally recorded a killer track. (thank you Yamaha!) Next we started recording vocals (1 lead track, 3 backing "ooh" tracks and 2 more backing tracks which acted as harmonies to the lead)!!! AND.... after 8 solid hours of recording, I FINALLY nailed everything...despite my cold. (thank you mucus!) :)
Eric-Jon is now in the process of editing and mixing so we should have something VERY VERY soon! I hope you all love it as much as we have enjoyed creating it. Thank you to Eric-Jon for your brilliance and for pulling through this weekend with me. I heart you.
Here are some pictures and video clips for a "behind the scenes" experience... Let me know what you think of everything and if you'd be interested in a link to the song when it's released!
love, shannon xoxo

ON TOUR WITH STEPHEN STILLS & JOSH HISLE - November 22, 2011
So... I was given the opportunity to hop on the road with Josh Hisle and sing a few of his songs on the Stephen Stills tour this past October!! After killing it with Josh in Maine, VT and NY, Stephen asked me to join him on stage to sing "So begins the task" in VA and GA!!!
It was the most amazing 2 weeks of my life and below are a collection of videos of our live performances! ENJOY THEM! If you'd like to see some pics, you can head to the Photo Gallery on my site or head to my facebook page at www.facebook.com/shannon.corey
NEW MUSIC PROJECT VIDEO and UPDATES... recording session at Jake Antelis' Studio - September 2, 2011
YAY! So our first recording session was on 8/23 and I FINALLY edited all of the footage and got it up on youtube :) The First Session Video gives you an idea of what it took to go from piano/bass/drums to full production on "Done Me Wrong" with hardly any piano in the end! (which is pretty rare for me)... Keep an ear out for the sound as it changes as we keep layering instruments to the track! I think it's pretty cool... oh yea, and take a look at Jae getting freaked out because the earthquake happened as he was playing! yup... I also added a slide show of cool shots from the day with a rough, unmixed track of "Headin' Out To Philly"!
Yesterday I went back into the studio to finish up everything with Jake and to record vocals! we added some great harmonies to Done Me Wrong which I think you'll LOVE!
PLUSSS... I have GREAT NEWS... My EXTREMELY talented friend Josh Hislewill be on the road this year opening for Stephen Stills, but before he heads out he took a second to lay down some BANJO tracks for me! "Headin' Out to Philly" will now also feature JOSH HISLE on BANJO!!!! (Thanks josh! I'll see you in Boston!!!)
More to come including instructions to everyone that has a new song headed their way!
Let me know what you think of the video! It's a bit shaky because i MIGHT have been dancing to the music a bit.. hahhaaa :)
