We’re back in the studio with our new guitarist Chris Mares. Chris is lying down some cool licks on Beutiful Lies, our coming release. We’re getting very close to completing the recording of this one, and once we’ve got it mix4d will be adding it to our discography. Even some plans in the works for a fun video for this track. Stay tuned.
Christmas came early this year for The Brilliant Deductions. In the wake of a bunch of delays and injuries, our good friend Jan Bugaiski found work with another band that does a much better job paying the bills. We wish him the best of luck in this endeavor and intend to call him in for guest appearances in the months ahead.
Filling the void Jan left in our line-up was not an easy task but I’m delighted to say we’ve found a great player and fabulous co-conspirator in the form of Chris Mares. Chris has a great sense of melody and is right on our same wave-length when it comes to style and approach. He’s already jumping in head first learning some of our set and, even more importantly, contributing to the arrangements of the tracks we’ve got on our calendar to record in January.
Chris is a local Fallbrook man, with influences that include Oasis, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Noel Gallagher, and Beady Eye. He also writes and sings his own Christian Rock music and lends his talent to the worship team of one of our local churches.
We’re delighted to have Chris onboard… more photos and musical sneak-preview very soon!
This is a big weekend for Christopher Cash & The Brilliant Deductions! We are performing at the San Diego County Fair tonight at 9pm on the O’Brien Stage. Tomorrow we’re playing at Legacy Brewing in Oceanside also starting around 9pm. At the Sonic-Rocket Legacy show our friends Greg & Ian from The Topaz Duo will dazzle with some classical music starting about 7pm followed by our pals The Ron Franklin Band around 8pm. The boys and I will be doing a full 90 minute set packed with original material old and new. See ya there! Gonna be F-U-N!!!!
One of our favorite clients just paid for a half page ad in the coming edition of Professional Musician’s Local 325 publication called Soundpost. There’s nothing sweeter than a personal endorsement from a guy as talented as Greg. Thanks a million!
He added the following text:
“Local 325 member violinist Greg Lawrence with Sonic Rocket’s Chief Recording Engineer Shea Thompson.

We had a good time playing the Sonic-Rocket night at Aztec Brewery with our pals the Ron Franklin band and the Satellite Sons. There were a few technical difficulties but we pressed on through them and had a lot of fun. Thanks to Daniel Salas, Kenzie Espinoza-Finch, and James Berry for their excellent help. Big thanks to our friends and neighbors who came out to be part of the fun!
