Notes:
The debut album from Brad Bensko. After years of building up a collection of vintage studio gear and writing and arranging songs, Bensko sought to record an album in the vein of some of his favorite musicians (Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren, and Harry Nilsson just to name a few.) Taking on the majority of the recording, arranging, and performing tasks, he crafted these songs from the basics and up, all on an old Otari 1" 8 track reel to reel tape machine. Bensko wasn't completely on his own, however, and with a little help from his friends (Kathleen Parks, Tyler Bensko, Jason Banta, Danny Motta, Chris Rival) the record was seen to completion. We hope you enjoy! credits released August 24, 2018 The Players: Brad Bensko: Vocals, guitars, bass, organ, piano, mellotron, harpsichord, drums, percussion Kathleen Parks: violin and backing vocals on “Winter Solstice Suite” Danny Motta: trumpet on “Winter Solstice Suite” Tyler Bensko: backing vocals on “Long Gone” Produced and Arranged by Brad Bensko Recorded onto 8 Track Reel To Reel Tape (HAL) by Brad Bensko at Bearded Cat Studios in Mystic, CT Mixed by Jason Banta and Brad Bensko at Bearded Cat Studios in Mystic, CT Mastered by Chris Rival at Middleville Studios in North Reading, MA All songs written by Bradley Joseph Bensko © 2010-2018 Front & back photos by Catie McClelland of Fox & Laurel Photography Additional photos by Catie McClelland, Jennifer O’Malia, Alee Rogan, Jason Banta, and Brad Bensko Artwork and design by Paul Wallen Thanks to all else who made this record possible: Brian, Debra, Jill, Tyler, and Jenna Bensko for supporting me and putting up with the noise throughout the years.
