Marty Willson-Piper & Salim Nourallah present HOLD ON TO THE NIGHT (Official Video)

In autumn 2018 I went to Nashville, Tennessee, to work with Salim Nourallah and his band, Richard on keys, Joe on guitars, Jason on bass and drums, and John on drums and bass and in a co-production role with Salim and as a fifth member of his band. After Nashville we retired to Dallas where all but Joe live (he lives in San Antonio) and worked on overdubs, mixing was next…then the pandemic hit. Finally, the album is now mixed and will be released in early 2023 but before that, we have the See You In Marfa EP from those sessions released today on Bandcamp. A CD is also available and streaming will be from August 19th. The lead track on the EP will be Hold On To The Night, complete with a video featuring an animated yours truly and co-written (a bit) by me.

This whimsical video was done by an Australian videographer/musician, Jordan Thompson:

 
Here is the text from Salim’s FB page with the short version of how it all came together and below the text is a link to a magazine interview with the longer story. I hope you enjoy it.

It’s a big day here in Nourallahland. I’ve been waiting 3 1/2 years to release Hold On To The Night. We recorded it in Nashville in September 2018 with Marty Willson-Piper augmenting our band. Marty also helped me finish the tune. It’s part of a five-song EP available today on Bandcamp. Ten more songs from the sessions will be coming out on a full-length LP top of next year!

This is my stolen 1965 Rickenbacker 12-string, serial number EB157. If there's any chance of this guitar coming back to me before I go to meet my maker, then that would be wonderful. Please contact me if you have any information.

Songwriting & Guitar Guidance with Marty Willson-Piper
ORDER HERE

"These are awesome sessions that I highly recommend for guitar players of all levels. Very informative, frank discussions on everything related to guitar and music in general. Definitely a must for anyone pursuing songwriting."
(Stephen G., VA, USA)

"Marty knows how to bypass scales and get to the heart of feel and timing. His musical knowledge spans multiple cultures and genres. Perhaps most importantly, Marty is a cool dude. I highly recommend his guitar guidance." (Jed B., MN, USA)

"Ok, so you’re sitting in your home and Marty is across the world but is actually right here teaching you how to play guitar and write songs. He is a delight to talk to and he is your teacher, meaning he wants to see you get something out of his lessons. You know he’s paying attention and wants to steer you in the right direction. I am so grateful and humbled that he offers his time in this manner. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who admires anything from his enormous body of work. How often do you get to learn from somebody that inspired you in the first place? Amazing." (Ann S., CA, USA)
