Ocean Street is in the process of recording their second E.P. For their sophomore effort, the band has enlisted the expertise of legendary producer Norbert Putnam and Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Casey Wood. The band, a few choice session musicians, and back-up singers have been in and out of Wood’s Nashville area studio, The Insanery, throughout March and April.
Putnam is an accomplished session musician in his own right who has played on 122 Elvis Presley tracks. As a producer, he cut platinum records with Joan Baez, Dan Fogelberg, and Jimmy Buffett. Wood won Grammys for his work with Randy Travis in 2004 and 2006.
All of the lyrics on the upcoming album were penned by lead singer Andy Kropf, and the music was written by keyboardist Mark Kovaly and Kropf collaboratively. The album is slated for post-production in May and should be available for public consumption in July of this year.
