Built around fan favorite "Coffee House", the EP entitled "tips, drinks & gas money" contains four songs intended as an appetizer to his second full album, which he expects to release in 2013. In addition to "Coffee House", "Bless This Home", "I'll Take Care Of You" and "Now That It's Done" have all been staples of Keith's live show for the past few years. According to Keith "sometimes it takes a bit of time to find a proper home for certain songs. These four were orphans for a while, but now they feel like they're right were they were always meant to be."
Produced and recorded by Sean Glonek (SRG Studios Hamilton, NJ) and joined by a stellar group of musicians Mike Noordzy, Joe Harvard, Mike White, Adam Braun, as well as Glonek, all playing on select tracks. Always a storyteller, Monacchio writes with a more autobiographical pen on this offering. This small batch of songs gives a nod to the past, while pointing its head directly toward the future.
As always, the release will be supported with a bunch of live shows, where you can pick up a copy. However, there will not be any kind of "release party or release show". Keith is obviously enjoying himself these days and says he looks forward to the release of his next full-length album.
