The recording will take place at the iconic Dark Horse studios in Nashville.
Comfortable in the Alternative/Folk/Indie genres, Blane's songs reflect his musings on relationships, faith, love and fantasy. "I realize my song's messages regarding faith are universal- and extend beyond the scope of the Jewish world. So when I met Billy and saw him at work producing music during a previous trip to Nashville, I asked him if he would be interested in producing a Rabbi. Having heard me perform- he was all in!," says Blane.
