I am proud to announce that the newest artist to join the Gotee family is ABANDON KANSAS. Since my return to Gotee in December I helped finish a deal with this band. It's hard to believe that it was almost a year ago that I saw them for the first time and now we're announcing their signing and the release of a brand new EP. It's been a blast getting to know these guys. Not only are they great musicians but their hearts are in the right place as men and as artists. We recorded the 6 song EP at the end of May with producer Mark Lee Townsend. I was then lucky have enough to have JR McNeely mix the EP. This is the same team that has help create albums such as Relient K's "mmhmm", House of Heroes "The End Is Not The End", Jennifer Knapp "Live", and The Wedding "Polarity". So sonically it sounds kick ass. I then had Ethan Luck take some photos and  BoerHaus.com design the cover and packaging. In all 4 of my best friends helped the band and I create what I think looks classic and sounds famous. I am extremely proud of it and maybe it's because it marks the first true piece of new music that I have A&R'd from the ground up since my return. So do yourself a favor and check out a few of their tunes, read the bio, and dive into the world that is Abandon Kansas.
