How Does everyone feel about Solo projects?
I only ask because i'm about to go into the studio and record a solo record. I'd like it to turn out like a mix between Billy Bragg and Steve Earle
(without the twang). My first solo show is on October 11th and i'm nervous as hell.
Just in case anyone was wondering The New Breed www.the-newbreed.com is still a huge part of my life, i've just got more to go around.

Good luck witht hat. Hope to hear a few mp3's when it is done.
What a coincidence I have port city rebels in my bookbag, here until 6:45 tonight, might as well have some music right?

I used to think it was an ego thing to do a solo project, but now I realize that people have other things going on inside them that may not always fit
with what their main band is doing and I don't think it would be right to just throw that away because it doesn't fit. I don't have a whole lot of
solo records, but the ones I do have I love. I say good luck to you, Jonny.

Thanks guys. Yeah The New Breed has been my band since i was a kid. I learned so much over the years with those guys and will learn a whole lot more
over the years with them. I just know that we'll be around for years to come to record albums.
But at this point in my life, its the only music i've ever made and i have so many songs that don't fit into the band thing. I'll definitly be sure
to post some songs for ya'll to listen too when they're done.

Solo projects are cool as long as they're not the same as your main band, and yours sounds like it won't be so go for it. Nothing tried nothing
gained as the saying goes. Good luck!

Solo projects never bothered me so long as long as it's clear that things are still cool with the band. Don't be a Justin, man!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

The band IS my life! I would just like to be playing more often, and i'd like to be able to tour a little more. The New Breed is my band and will be
my band for a long time to come. When I mean solo, i mean solo, i'm not playing with other musicians. No one need worry about us breaking up or
anything stupid like that. After 7 years together i think we're technically all married to eachother.

will you create a new 'johnnyaccoustic' screenname on the boards? or are you gonna play all kinds of instruments, cause then you can be
'johnnyonemanband'.

I could use those names i guess. The style would be more like Billy Bragg than Bob Dylan. I use both acoustic and electric guitars.

I figured i'd just use my name, Jonny Stevens. The record is turning out really great. There are some real rootsy songs and some great rockers. I'm
playing most instruments and getting friends of mine to help with the rest. It is very different than the new breed in sound. I'll make sure to post
a song soon.

yeah, keep us posted on website, mp3, records, labels, .... Always interested in new stuff, and although it will be different than The NB - which I
REALLY like - it's good to hear new vibes.
