Liner Notes – Little Big Things

Little Big Things
Jeff Engholm

All instruments and vocals by Jeff Engholm, along with the amazing help of:

Scott Chabot – drums, bells, & percussion on everything (except “Believe In Yourself”), Muggsy Lauer – electric guitar on “I Can’t Look At You,” Paul “Stretch” Diethelm – electric madness on “Flipped,” Al Asmus – alto flute on “Startup Man.”

“Believe In Yourself” features Muggsy Lauer on acoustic and electric guitar, Nathan Nesje on acoustic guitar, George Maurer on keys and organ, Andy Deckard on drums. Jeff, Muggsy, and Nathan sing the backup vocals. Thomas Cabot engineered the session at Rockhouse Studios in St. Joseph, Minnesota.

I would like to thank: All the amazing musicians I work with who are both on this record and off who constantly inspire me. Amy Grinsteiner, without whose constant encouragement and advice this album would not exist. My family, and especially my mom, who lived what I became. Collective Unconscious and all of our incredible fans of the last 20 years. Scott Chabot, who I hired as a drummer, but became a valuable sounding board and enthusiastic supporter of this project in every way. Krista at Tinderbox Music for helping me get it out there. Thomas Cabot and Rockhouse Productions for rockin’ drums and good vibrations.

This album is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Kathy, who left us much too soon.
