The results; the upcoming album titled, It’s All a Jam. A full album containing 12 songs with guest appearances from Steffano Lasso from Red Bredren and a few others. Lead singer and frontman for Fortunate Youth, Dan Kelly, shared his thoughts on the recording process: “The recording process with this Fortunate Youth album is different from the other albums in the that we made it specifically for our listeners. We took the next album like the pros do, and really thought through pre-production before we went into the studio. The Instrumental part of the album was already fully laid out before we even went into the studio because our guys worked so hard in the pre-production stage.”
Josh Heinrichs – Rooftop Sessions EP

Josh Heinrichs is set to drop his newest EP, titled “Rooftop Session.” Almost a year since releasing any sort of album or EP, this Midwest reggae artist is ready to put out a 5-song EP for all to enjoy.

This is my favorite way to record.”
