January freeze commences

What better way to spend a few cold winter days than working on new songs?! One complete - 'What About the Children', a tune I penned after the Newtown tragedy; two more are in the mixing/tracking/videoing stage, 'Pay It Forward' (featuring my new uke) and 'The Mailman and I' (no, not THAT way!)

Happy 2013

May the new year bring you happiness and contentment - and a new CD from me!

Studio time!

A good night in the recording studio! 11th take on an electric lead guitar part for a new song was the one I was hunting for! After that, I completed writing my first ukulele song - now I just have to get competent enough playing it so I can record it!

Christmas is over...

The days are cold and dark comes early, but New Years Eve approaches, and with it the hope of the new year! I setting my sights on learning to play my new uke - will have to include at least one ukulele song on my next album!

Christmas is 8 days away!

Need a last minute gift for that hard-to-buy for relative or friend? There's still time to get a copy of my CD shipped to arrive by Christmas, or go for the digital download! http://tinyurl.com/mikebirchCD

Tough holiday

Terrible tragedy in Connecticut yesterday. My heart goes out to all those affected.

Back to the studio!

Went back behind the mic yesterday and recorded some new vocal tracks for the song Used to Be - much better - according to a couple of listeners, so now to do some final mixing on it. For some reason a 'Jon Anderson' sound (and vocal range) was needed!

Working on the new album

Latest song is up on my Reverbnation player, but I'm not happy with it - I wrote a song that doesn't suit my singing! Looking for someone to do justice to this song - you'll get credit on my album, of course - and if I can help you out with some guitar tracks or mixing, it would be a good exchange.
