Dan Imhoff, 2012

In 2012, I released “Agraria” after a fairly productive year of songwriting. This time I turned to Matt Wright to produce and engineer the album. He helped me assemble an all-star Sonoma County cast for the rhythm section: Dave Rollans, a relocated 20 year-old drummer; Josh Fossgreen, an extremely tall and lanky local bass phenom; and Mike Emerson, keyboardist extraordinaire and touring musician from Sebastapol. I think many of the songs on “Agraria” began to reflect a deeper attention to craft, both musically and lyrically. Cahoots regulars Craig Anderson and Andy Dru Rodgers both appeared on the album, along with a corps of Sonoma County session players on pedal steel, fiddle, horns, harmonica and backing vocals.
