"The Allumette EP project was alot of fun! I brought in several of my favorite musicians. The rhythm section features Dann "Gildog" Gillen (Drums) and Dave Marotta (Bass). For keyboards, Molly played some wurlizter and for sweetening we brought in Ned Lott, Pat Deremer and Igor Len. Mikal Blue's engineer Andrew Dixon also played some slide guitar. And our good friend Marty Bartoli laid down some great drums during pre-production. The hardest part of the project was choosing a mic for Molly. She sounded great on all of them!"  - Gary Daniel Cook

VOCAL COACH

ROSEMARY BUTLER
If you've ever listened to Jackson Browne's "Roadie Song/Stay", then you must remember the amazing female vocal that belts out bluesy, soulful ad libs! That was the legendary Rosemary Butler. Her vocal resume is a mile long. In addition to Jackson Browne, she has worked with James Taylor, Paul Simon, Michael McDonald and few hundred other superstars.

One of Gary's goals has been to improve his vocal chops. He is thrilled to study voice with Rosemary!

"I've enjoyed working with Rosemary. She's not only a great singer, but is also an excellent vocal coach. In a very short ti
me Rosemary helped me develop stronger technique and improved vocal range. Her "Warm Up & Jam" is a an awesome vocal warm-up CD!" - Gary Daniel Cook
