We’re about a week into mixing the album and there’s a little over half of the tracks finished. I’ve been heading to Rye every day to mix with Ido Zmishlany and Yaron Fuchs, and I have to say, this is the best mixing experience I’ve ever had.

Quite frankly, mixing can be a downright boring process, fine tuning every little drum kick and lining up every last guitar track, but as I’m understanding more about all the mumbo-jumbo on the computer screen, I’m taking part in the whole thing a lot more too. That’s not to say I didn’t have any say in my music thus far, it’s just now I know what I’m talking about when I want something…

We’re back from Chicago and had an absolutely awesome time at The Next American Star National Finals… The band and I only had three days in Chicago, but managed to get to Uno’s, scarf down an Italian beef sandwich at Portillo’s, check out the Art Institute, and get around Chicago marathon traffic.

Oh, and we also rocked a street festival in the freezing cold.

Check out the recap from the show and see photos of the performance.

This past Saturday, I sang the National Anthem at the brand-new Citifield. I’m lucky enough to have sung during the last season at Shea Stadium, and now the Inaugural Season at Citifield.

Read on for pictures from the anthem and with the players.
