The debut album of Alaskan folk singer/songwriter Britt Arnesen a.k.a. 907Britt is scheduled for release on April 8. It represents 11 years of songwriting for Britt, and 8 months of mixing and mastering for me. Working with Britt was a real treat! She granted me unprecedented freedom in my approach, which ranged from simple mixing to adding my own elements to the arrangement. We ended up using my piano, bass, and percussion on “Cinderella,” piano and backing vocals on “Continental Divide” (my current favorite), and backing vocals on “Maybe You.” You can preview the entire album using the player above, and pick it up here (or just click on “download” in the player). Even though the release date is a week off, all purchases include immediate download in the format of your choice.
In support of the release, Britt has five appearances lined up for next week (listed on the banner at the top of 907Britt.com), three of which will be streamed on the web at KTOO.org. Monday, April 5th she’ll be interviewed at 3:30 on KTOO, then the mainstage of the Alaska Folk Festival at 8:15pm Alaska time. Tuesday April 6th from 5-7 she’ll be interviewed on Rain Country Radio KRNN (still accessed from KTOO.org) and play a few songs live.
Somehow Britt even found time to start working on her follow-up release! You can keep up with busy tour schedule on Facebook and see her latest videos on her YouTube channel. Speaking of YouTube, be sure to check out Britt’s covers of my songs “If It’s My Time to Go” and “Touch.”
