Summertime and the living is easy, with the Blaire Reinhard Band in Morris Township

Spectators who braved the heat to catch the Blaire Reinhard Band at Morris Township’s Ginty Field on July 12 were treated to a sneak preview of the group’s next album.

Blaire Reinhard, Gray Reinhard, Wade Perrin, Keith Woodward and Phil Ward performed several original tunes of recent vintage. (Stay tuned for videos.)

They had been self-producing a followup to their debut CD,  Steps on the Ceiling, but that was scrapped when the band hooked up with producer Glenn Rosenstein, whose studio credits include Bruce Springsteen, U2, Keith Richards, Queen, David Bowie, The Go-Go’s, the Village People and Yoko Ono, among others.

Recording sessions are scheduled for early fall, said Blaire, who had a large hometown contingent of family and friends in the audience. She and husband Wade Perrin moved from Morristown to Hoboken last year;  the group is playing a lot of weddings between gigs on both sides of the Hudson.

(One of those gigs is Morristown’s Famished Frog on Saturday night, July 16.)

The BRB also has had some TV time lately, with song placements on FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance, NBC’s The Voice, and MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.
