If I Had Just One Wish…

My new album If I Had Just One Wish… is now available on iTunes and with most digital distributors!

This album is special to me for a few reasons. One of which is because for the first time I did a full band record where I played everything. Aside from the handful of lovely singers that did some harmonies and backgrounds, I did everything you hear on it. It was a fun experiment and I learned a lot during the process. I’m not a control freak in my normal life, but I do like to have control over my music.

Many songwriters have told me in the past that my songs are a little too vague and that I need to open up to be more personal in my writing. A few people who’ve heard this record say that feels like they’re reading my diary. That’s a fairly accurate statement. I feel like I really put myself out there on these songs and hopefully the emotions and the moods I was trying to contain while writing them come through.

Here are the actual album credits, for those interested:
All songs written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by David Bowick
Mastered by Hans Dekline at Sound Bites Dog
Additional vocals on “Finally Found You” by Vanessa Parr
Additional vocals on “The Way Back Home” and “On The Other Side” by Trey Broussard
Additional vocals on “Meet Tomorrow” by Lindsey Bullen and Trey Broussard
Additional vocals on “27 Days” by Lucas Carpenter
