This upcoming record doesn’t have a name yet, but Orr said the band likes to get the names of their records from the lyrics on those records. His first two albums for them were titled ‘Putting Time Together’ and ‘Chasing Moonlight’.
“We’re already tracking some songs,” Orr says. “We are really, really excited. and put the best of those records on this new record.”
