Here's an update on the Email Community that I'll be launching later this summer. It's a ton of setup, but you only need to do it once! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Here are 2 originals that I played recently over the 4th of July weekend, just by myself with my acoustic. Working more on "honest vocals". The songs are off my 1st album "Soliloquy", the songs are "Subtlety In The Tone" and "Wildly I Seize You". Hope you enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I'm so damn pumped to upgrade my electric rig. I'm getting new pickups on my strat, selling my Egnater Tweaker and getting a Mesa Boogie DC-5 Combo. Can't wait to have this killer duo. For my strat, I'm swapping out the stock single coils for Dimarzios. Super Distortion in the Bridge, and Dimarzio Areas in the middle and neck. Also getting my guitar shielded. No more of that annoying hum!!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I'm honored to have been interviewed by Niagara Moon a couple weeks ago. We had an awesome hour-long chat about all things music. I highly recommend checking out his podcast. He's extremely kind and knowledgable, and not to mention his music is amazing! Here's the podcast: https://soundcloud.com/theniagaramoonpodcast I can't wait to collaborate with him later this year! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Here's a couple of raw covers I did outside in the park by house. Just a phone recording, but I've been working on doing some more honest singing. Focusing a lot more on the lyrics and the feeing of the song as opposed to pitch and technique. Let me know your thoughts! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Tuesday night was amazing - I rented out the First Church in Jamaica Plain here in Boston to lay down the acoustic, nylon, and lead vocal tracks for my next batch of songs I'm working on. Set up 2 mics: AT4040 about a foot from the guitar, and the Bluebird ranging between 2.5 feet to 5.5 feet. Natural reverb! Sounds so beautiful. I can't wait to edit and mix it, and share the sounds with you! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

Can't wait to tell you guys how it goes! I'm planning on recording 6 songs (acoustic & nylon guitar, hopefully vocals) tonight at a local church here in Boston. So excited to produce this next set of songs. More info coming! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

So damn happy with my new purchase of an Art & Lutherie Legacy Concert Hall CW with a Bourbon Burst finish. Can't wait to keep playing this thing and break in the strings (that's when a guitar sounds the best in my opinion!) - listen up guys! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

I had such an awesome time at Berklee On-Site. Susan Rogers opened it up with an inspiring keynote about seeking your own fulfillment rather than "success" as society defines it. She was Prince's engineer and she is a BADASS. The other workshops I attended were Mixing Home Recordings, Email Marketing, Natural Processing Techniques for Singers, and Deconstructing A Final ProTools Mix. Listen up to see some key things I learned! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This will be my 2nd time going to the annual Berklee event, filled with key notes and workshops on all sorts of topics. I'm going specifically for the Marketing & Mixing workshops: ProTools Mixing, Home Recording, Email Marketing, Building Your Online Presence & Audience. So excited for this guys, and I'm looking very forward to sharing you my thoughts and notes on what I've learned! Stay tuned :D --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support

This episode is about taking a step back and realizing that we actually have a lot of value to give to others when it comes to doing our craft. A lot of times we don't realize that that we do automatically can be broken down into steps, and then taught to others wanting to do the same thing. This is what I've been focusing on lately! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danbarracuda/support
