I had the opportunity to record this record last year with Todd Zimberg and Michael Gotz at Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio. Mastered by Dana White. Here is Alone Together.
Here’s a little impromptu video of “Rough and Tumbled” recorded on the Steinway at Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio on 8.8.21. You know I can’t resist a Steinway!!! 🎶🎹❤️
It was definitely a big ol’ tug on my heartstrings to sing in this room again. It’s where I learned how to sing in the studio, which is a whole different animal than live performance. Thanks Mike Moore and .sacha for letting us come by and hang out!!
Throwback Mack: trying to remember a song from long ago! Here’s a bit of “First Day of Forever”, a song we wrote back in early 1990s I think? This week while in Portland, we dropped by our old recording studio we built, called Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio . Scott and I made an valiant attempt to remember how to play it! 🎶🤷♀️😂
We wrote and recorded a lot of songs inside these walls before we sold the studio and moved to Nashville. This one got some traction on the local radio station KINK fm and kept the Caryl Mack Band workin’! 😎
Oh hiiiii! True Meaning is officially mixed 🤗 I’m really proud of this work and all the beautiful collaborations which make it so special ✨if you want some behind the scenes content and unreleased tracks, consider signing up to be my Patron. 🛸🙏

From "On The Road" to in the recording studio. When I heard Riley Mulherkar was going to be passing through Portland, I couldn't pass up the chance to record a series of duos at Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio. Thanks to Sacha Muller for the photos and engineering.
