Win 1 of 5 copies of Ernie Halter “Franklin & Vermont” CD

LA-based singer-songwriter Ernie Halter released his next album, “Franklin & Vermont,” on June 29, 2010, on Rock Ridge Music. Featuring 11 tracks – nine originals and two covers – the album was recorded with engineers Spenser Bishop and Carson Liccardi at MixOne Sound in Mission Viejo, CA. In addition to playing most of the instruments on the record, this is also Halter’s first self-produced album. Halter says, "Many people love the early recordings for their laid back, raw, acoustic vibe, and I wanted ‘Franklin & Vermont’ to be a studio record with the same soul. It's easy to lose something in translation, easy to lose the magic of a live performance when it comes to making a record. But for the first time, I feel like I really got it."

“Franklin and Vermont” is named for two cross streets in the quiet Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles where Halter lives. “I wanted the record to carry with me a piece of home, since I spend so much time on the road,” he says. It is the happiness he finds in the slow pace of his community that brought him to the studio, desiring to capture his newfound peace in this new collection of songs.
