Have a Listen

All the takes on” After Hours” were in fact recorded after the gig at Creation Studios right across the parking lot from the club, “The Artists Quarter”.

Sometimes they ran a line and recorded the gig also. We did the sessions in the studio from like 02:00-05 or 6. It was a ball!
It was in my home town Minneapolis. When I would come back from New York.
