Just about finished with touring for 2019 with just one private show later this month with Michael McD. So I've hunkered down in my home studio to make headway on what will be my 10th album. I have about 20 songs in the running but I've written 3 or 4 songs since I've been home and really like them so far. I always like to give songs a little time to prove to me they're good enough to share. I also enlisted my friends and bandmates Dan Needham (drums) and Mark Douthit (sax) to play on a song I co-wrote with Michael McDonald and Chris Eddy called "So Good". The track is really great thanks to those guys! I have a website on Patreon.com where you can subscribe to watch and listen as I write and record songs; many times from their inception all the way to the mix down! If you're interested you can check it out at: https://www.patreon.com/berniechiaravalle. I was also fortunate to get Dylan McDonald and Peyton Parker to sing background vocals for me on a new song called, "Nobody But You" and the great Jacob Lowrey played bass for me on "I Believe In Love (This Time)". All of these can be heard way before the actual release next year right now again at my Patreon site. Thanks and stay tuned....
