Ernie Halter' Tributes His Home Town With New Album
. In addition to playing most of the instruments on the record, this is also Halter's first self-produced album. Halter says, "Many people love the early recordings for their laid back, raw, acoustic vibe, and I wanted 'Franklin & Vermont' to be a studio record with the same soul. It's easy to lose something in translation, easy to lose the magic of a live performance when it comes to making a record. But for the first time, I feel like I really got it." "Franklin and Vermont" is named for two cross streets in the quiet Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles where Halter lives. "I wanted the record to carry with me a piece of home, since I spend so much time on the road," he says. It is the happiness he finds in the slow pace of his community that brought him to the studio, desiring to capture his newfound peace in this new collection of songs. "Ernie Halter shows an impressive level of maturity as a singer and a songwriter on this collection of recordings," says Rock Ridge Music President Jason Spiewak. "His new material is thoughtful, emotionally impactful, and it's been beautifully recorded" Halter is already well-known for his original interpretations of established songs, as evidenced by his extremely successful YouTube covers series two years ago (www.youtube.com/user/ernell42). A big believer in supporting and involving his fans on many levels, Halter broadcast his recording sessions for his last studio album, "Starting Over" (which peaked at #22 on the iTunes rock album chart) in real time online for fan feedback and comments as the work was being done on the record. Halter plans to continue on the road in support of "Franklin & Vermont," including an upcoming run with labelmate Tony Lucca which will lead up to their appearance at the annual Hotel Carolina singer-songwriter weekend (www.welcometothehotelcarolina.com) in August. Halter typically plays well over 100 dates per year, and within the past 12 months has shared tour time with Tyrone Wells, Gareth Asher, Miggs, Kate Voegele, Jay Nash, Sister Hazel, and others.
