Oudblues – Self Titled (2007)

So one day my friend and roommate, Brian, asks me to listen to some new songs he wrote on this new instrument that he had been messing around with, the oud. It sounded like middle eastern Alice in Chains. It was awesome! He quickly put together a group and we started working on arrangements. After several shows the studio session was booked at Tom Spiker’s studio in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, and shortly after, this record was finished. To this day the group continues to play sporadically in the cities of Philly and New York.
