New album “NEW DAY”, out now ////

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Album release >>> “NEW DAY” has been “SET FREE” <<< I couldn’t be more excited to be releasing my new album “NEW DAY”! And with it comes a new single, “SET FREE”.

PLEASE LISTEN AND/OR PURCHASE HERE: https://hypeddit.com/joelapinski/newday (LINK IN BIO)

This album is a big one for me. I was pushed and pulled in all the right ways, although challenging to say the least. These songs came from those moments of joy, love, friendship, community, sadness, depression, trauma, healing, breathing, giving, taking, crying, and laughing. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Co-produced with the incredible @davidclarkmk1 . My brother from another mother. I don’t think I could have finished this record without him. What a beautiful human. What a musician!

There are many talented players on this record. Some folks who appear on many of the tunes are Dave Clark on the drums, Laurel Minnes and Jillian Rene Smith singing, and Ian de Souza on the bass. You all inspired me so much during the making of this record. Thank-you. Here’s the complete list of players and credits.

All music written by Joe Lapinski
Produced by Joe Lapinski and Dave Clark

Mixed by Joe Lapinski

Mastered by Jeff Elliott, at Fedge Mastering

🌞 I’m excited to be welcoming new music students this September and October! 🌞

Want to learn guitar, piano, ukulele or voice? Write your own songs? Explore improvisation, guitar tones & effects, recording or music production?

Lessons are relaxed, creative and shaped around what you’re excited to learn.

Drop me a line … I’d love to hear about you (or your learner!) and your musical dreams. taken in St. Catharines by @joelapinski
