The Rubber Snake Charmers - Electric Mecca - CD/Vinyl

These recordings represent two collaborative improvised jam sessions.
One session recorded in 2013 at the studio of Robby Krieger, guitarist of the Doors. A gracious invitation went out to some of us desert musicians to come and get creative at his studio space, coordinating the sessions and engineering was Harper Hug from
Thunder Underground.
The musicians included myself along with Sean Wheeler, Vince Meghrouni, Mathias Schneeberger, as well as other friends of Robby’s gathered over three Sunday afternoons to jam and record the results. Harper Hug was coordinating the sessions and assistant engineer.
The other session we pulled tracks from for this album was recorded in 2023 at Donner & Blitzen studios in Crestline CA. These sessions were engineered by Mathias Schneeberger and featured the more recent snake charmers line up, including Brant Bjork, Ryan Güt, Sean Wheeler and myself as well as Mathias also playing the fender rhoads and other keys and synths.
The Rubber Snake Charmers is by principle a live performance project, the studio can tend to change the vibe and approach to the fundamentals of improvisation. The results are quite different than our live performances, but just as much fun….and nothing’s more important than fun to a Rubber Snake.
