Reno Bo’s album Lessons from a Shooting Star drops June 22nd, his first solo release since 2010’s Happenings and Other Things.

Giving us a second reason to call it a studio album, Lessons was recorded entirely in Bo’s Nashville apartment, with guitarist Sadler Vaden joining him on a single track, “How Do You Do.” The rest of the album features vocals, bass guitar and production by Reno Bo, who wrote 9 of the album’s 10 songs himself, and collaborated with Brandon Benson (the Raconteurs) on “The Brighter Side.” After spending a large part of his career performing and touring with the Mooney Suzuki, Albert Hammond Jr. (the Strokes), Caitlin Rose and Andrew Combs, Bo decided to take the reins and make his second album all his own.
