I am so happy to share DCBB's 2nd release "Big Shiny Tunes" and am so grateful to be involved with such a great group of people, musicians. It is an EP that has fresh, new arrangements of cover tunes you will probably know, but might not recognize initially. I personally arranged "Electric Lady", "Sorry", and was involved with the arrangements of the other tunes. It is a pretty high energy set of tunes that will keep you moving!
