The Midnight Toker. If you enjoy the likes of The Black Crowes, Magpie Salute, Tedeschi Trucks Band, even a dab of Delaney and Bonnie then the Family Hang is your place to kick back for soulful blues rock.

about

It WAS a family hang. Friday nights, bottles of wine, food and old friends. The kind that know the backstory, so its just about the now…and music of course.

Steve, Pete, Arne and I played for years as Vehicle, among various other iterations and projects. Gwyn came in to the fold when she met Steve and we made her first album. Dan was a brother from a previous life, who I serendipitously reconnected with during the making of this record.

After tracking some demos, Gwyn said she needed more music in her life. “So lets get together on Fridays, call Pete and throw some songs around.” We’d break bread, pour the wine and hang. Then we’d wander off and make some music. It was a joyous creative situation, just sharing ideas with no intent. It was nice to have a group dynamic again.

Life, as it will, intervened. It had other peripheral plans for everyone. Just the usual: life, death and everything in between. We built a studio in the downtime and when it was time to christen it, we reconvened.

Failed, which was the demo at the impetus of the project, was started in the old studio and crossed over into the new studio. Then Steve and Gwyn trekked down for the inaugural session and we cut 4 of the tracks live, a good portion of which remained in tact. Then Dan came in to drum on the last 2 tracks. Arne swooped in for the finishing touches and the family reunion was complete.

Im thankful for the way this manifested and for everyone involved in the process, including Lauren and Heidi who you won’t hear ON the record, but you can feel them IN the record.
