In a Sentimental Mood

In My Life

Matthew Treder — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:54:28 +0000

Halie Loren and I recently made a special recording of the Beatles’ In My Life for a close family member. The arrangement uses jazz chords but retains its popular roots, modulating twice along the way.

With New Year’s Eve only 163 shopping days away, I submit this apt tune, a demo Halie Loren and I recorded for songwriters Ande Rasmussen and Donna Valentine.

Eden Hall Concert

Matthew Treder — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:51:54 +0000

Halie brought the whole band to the Oregon coast for a concert at beautiful Eden Hall. Here is a bootlegged recording from the set. It’s an obscure song by an obscure band that merits no lengthy introduction here.

Halie Loren on the Front Porch Revue

Halie and I recently performed on a KLCC radio broadcast of the Front Porch Revue, where we were joined for a couple of number by the Front Porch Band. Live radio is an energizing experience, and our in-house audience made it special.
