Stefan Lessard solo album in the works

Stefan Lessard is recording a solo album in Los Angeles this week.

Sessions for the Stefan Lessard solo album are taking place at The Village studios in West L.A. Stefan first disclosed the news last week on Twitter.

eric fawcett studio“Going into a studio next week to start!” he wrote. “Time to really grow.”

Since that post, more information has come out. Eric Fawcett, drummer for N.E.R.D. and Stefan’s Yukon Kornelius band mate, posted a picture of his drum kit in the studio on Twitter yesterday with this message: “Out of shape and huffing through set up for sessions this week with @SLessard at @VillageStudios. Love these drums!”

And Fawcett’s music production company, Egg Music, posted this message: “Exciting things afoot at Egg! Including @ericfawcett in LA this week working w/ @SLessard of [@davematthewsbnd] on his new solo record.” Stefan also posted a photo of Fawcett “in the studio putting down some magic.”

The Stefan Lessard solo album will mark the third individual album by a Dave Matthews Band member. Boyd Tinsley released True Reflections in 2003, followed by Dave Matthews’ Some Devil later that year.

UPDATE (4/10, 8:57 P.M.): Stefan posted this message on Twitter this afternoon: “To clarify Solo Project = Stripped I’m not working on a Solo “album” Yet. Carry on.” This project is apparently the recording of the score for “Stripped,” a documentary about comics. Rashawn Ross is also working on this project with Stefan and Fawcett.
