Chris West Blog - New projects, new tours

Hello friends!

Things have been a little busy lately, and I have some exciting things coming up!! First, the Dynamites next album, entitled Burn It Down, is finished and is set to be released in mid-September. I have a song on this one (a cowrite with organist Charles Treadway) that I’m very excited about. We just returned from a tour in Colorado that was very successful and we head back to Europe on July 9 for two weeks in France, Spain, and Switzerland.

I’ve also been touring with Columbia recording artist Mike Farris. We played at Bonaroo this past month and will be taking off to California to play the High Sierra Music Fest for July 4th weekend.

I’ve been working on finishing up my new project, the Surprise Trilogy. Most of the recording is finished and the first of the three discs should be released by the end of the year!!! Keep an eye open for that. I also purchased a new horn a couple weeks ago that I’m very excited about; an old King Super 20 made in 1954. This horn gives me a warmer, meatier tone than the one I’ve been playing.

Other than that, I’ve been doing a lot of arranging for different albums coming out soon, a couple that I’m really excited about: strings on an album by Pastor Seon Thompson entitled “I’m Out” and horn arrangements on an album by Sarah Williams entited “Ruby”. Keep an eye open for these projects coming out soon.
