I want to start by saying that João is always a joy to work with. He is a super-pro who is always friendly, responsive, and goes the extra mile and beyond to make sure your songs shine. In this session, he once again outdid himself with remarkably sensitive, grooving, and uplifting guitar work, and the bass was just killer! Wherever my songs start out, he takes them to the next level and beyond - and I’m already looking forward to working with him again on the next tune!
