Hey everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying the new website! I know that I sure enjoyed designing it for you. I wanted to take some time to give you an update on everything that’s going on. Married life is great! Melissa and I had an amazing time on our honeymoon and when we got back, I hit the ground running. I am currently in the studio recording a full length (LP) that will hopefully be finished within the next few months.

I’ve decided to take on the role as producer on this record as all of the songs have a special place in my heart. I can’t wait for you guys to take a listen. It’s a working process but I’m taking my time and making sure that everything is right! As of right now, all of the basic tracks are recorded and complete (ie. bass,drums,acoustic guitar, and electric). I’ve been so blessed to have some of my amazing friends help out on the record and feel so thankful for all of the hard work that they have put into this. (You know who you are!!)

I’m also in talks with getting a licensing deal for the old record ‘Rise and Shine’ Please keep your fingers crossed as I enter into this new stage of my music career. Once again, as always, I can’t thank you guys enough for all of the love and support that you show me. It really does fuel the fire! Please keep checking back for more updates, as I will be posting on here more frequently.

With Love,

Derek Stroker
