"I know that Jerry Lee Lewis, and I think the people ought to know this, and this takes nothing away from anybody, with all the misfortune and this guy has had some unfortunate things happen as I know most of you know, ah, but I still say that he probably, and I think it all stems from that intuitive thing about religion and fervor of the Holy Ghost in us all, in some way that we may not even know about, maybe it doesn`t have anything to do with the Bible, but maybe it does, but Jerry Lee Lewis will go down in the history of this business as one, so far as I`m concerned, as one of the most talented people that I ever worked with.

We are completely taken back and saddened by the news of the passing of our studio family member, Matthew Denham. Our condolences go out to Matt’s family.
He was a one of a kind individual, and we were very fortunate to have the pleasure of knowing and working with him.
Every time the dancing lady on the bathroom wall tries to make us smell her armpit, we will think of you.
Rock on Matt... We love you brother. 🖤

Recording for album #2 has officially begun in Memphis at @samphillipsrecording after a whole lot of quarantine writing. Really can`t express how good it feels to bring these new songs to life and work with the flat-out brilliant @monsieurmatt and the equally brilliant musicianship of @willsextonmemphis @ken.coomer @ricksteff and Dave Smith, along with ridiculously attentive work from @wes_lee_ . The follow up to Wooden Cave is already taking a shape that`s wholly more beautiful than what I was envisioning sitting in my Queens apartment three months ago. More updates to come...

Remembering the late, great Roland Janes today on his 87th birthday. Roland was a fixture in Memphis music from his time on guitar with Jerry Lee Lewis and at Sun, to his days as a studio owner of Sonic studio, to his days at Sam Phillips Recording as an engineer and studio manager. Icon, legend and champion of bad jokes. RIP my friend. ❤️🌟💔 photos by @rainer901 except for image #1 #rolandjanes #guitarstudio #sun #phillipsrecording #sonic #memphismusic #rockabilly

I can’t think of a bigger honor than to work with @ohboyrecords and the Prine Family on a songwriter they love ( so you know he’s good!!). @arlomckinley blew my mind with his songs and how he threw himself completely into each song. Give it a listen won’t ya?
