From the upcoming album Tremors. Here’s our latest single / video Mammoth Steps featuring the one only Jennifer Batten! Listen on Spotify, Apple Music… all links https://mrfastfinger.net/music/mammoth-steps/ This tune is a special thing to me. Having Jennifer Batten playing on a song I wrote… I never could have even dreamed of such. Teenage me was in total awe when I was listening to “Above, Below and Beyond” on my headphones back in 1992. The creativity she has in all her playing and music was and is on another level. Collaborating with her has been super inspiring. Damn, everytime I hear her playing on “Mammoth Steps”, I’m all smile!
And yes, I am aware it’s not an actual mammuth appearing on this video. Our video budget was limited and we had to settle for an elephant.

Bonus thank you to Loco Instruments and Kasleder FX, this piece was originally composed as a demo song for the Sensei (Loco) and Dirty Little Thing (kasleder) pedals.
