This past weekend, Jake Tobias & Melissa Behring attended the ASCAP Expo in Hollywood. They had the fortune of meetings some of the most influential songwriters in the business today. They also heard Ludacris interview Quincy Jones, Erik Philbrook interview John Mayer and Justin Timberlake & Bill Withers interviewed. Word is, they have come back fired up, super inspired and ready to write and record some new material. Can’t wait to share it with you.
Jake & Melissa met Jack Tempchin (All Ready Gone, Peaceful Easy Feeling), heard Jeff Lynne play on one guitar string and met all kinds of amazing people.
Now home in Detroit, they’re back to work. Rockin’ out all weekend at the White Lake Inn, we finished up the vocal tracks on The Way Down. Now off to Big Sky tomorrow to do final the mixes. We can’t wait for you to hear them.
Jake & Melissa are representing at this awesome experience to connect songwriters, musicians, industry types of all kinds!
This is an amazing experience. Yesterday, we met Billy Steinberg (True Colors, Like a Virgin, etc), Craig Weisman (Big Loud Shirt Industries) and saw an awesome interview with Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart). There’s so much more that happened, we just can’t write about it all.
If you want to keep tabs on everything we’re doing, Melissa’s Tweeting it up on Twitter from the Expo.
The band will be in full swing next Friday night at 5th Avenue Billiards. Make sure you stop out and hear some of the new tunes.
Keep rock alive!
