Pearhead Project Progress

The Pearhead project has moved into its final phase. All recording is done and mixing is down to the final tweaks and nudges with mastering to follow. It's been a long road to get this far. We can't wait to share this with everybody. Stay tuned

Pearhead in the Park 2012

We had lots o' fun this year in the park. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and listen or join in. Thanks to Tam Lin for being there with us each week. For those who are not aware of Tam's talents check out his page. Tam builds hand-tooled Celtic instruments using ancient traditional methods utilizing recovered woods and hand tools.

During the course of the summer we picked up Rico. Rico is a Tex-Mex flavored guitarist with roots in good ol' rock and roll. Whenever we were at a loss for what to play Rico would fill in the gaps. Looking forward to what he can contribute to in the studio.

Looking forward to next year when we may even have a sponsor! More about that as details develop. Have a great winter and see you when the sun comes out again.

The Turtles Are Coming!

A new song. This is an embellished studio run through.

Pearhead - Barefoot on a Gravel Road (2009)

This project grew from some simple guitar and vocal demos which were slowly layered with, well, just about everything. Kenny Parisot wrote all of the songs, sang lead vocals, and played guitar and banjo.

Pat produced and engineered while Daniel acted as associate producer and 2nd engineer. A small group of friends jumped in and played a little bit of everything and a good time was had by all.

Out of all this emerged a core group of contributors (Kenny, Pat, Jay, Dan and Ryan) who have continued to record under the Pearhead name. We have already begun the next album and have done some sporadic impromptu gigs.
