Well, after a nice little break, I think perhaps it’s time to start filling the catalogue once again. For those who are not yet aware, February Album writing month is a thing. The challenge is to write 14 songs in 28 days. I have never hit that mark, but my songs “Heart of a Young… More »

Hiraeth
It’s New Year’s Eve, 2024. Quite an incredible, challenging, and rewarding year behind us, and a lot of possibility in front. I’ve just come back from spending a couple of days down in New Jersey with family. All of the joys, jokes, competitions, cooking, baking, headaches, indigestion, and new memories that you can possibly imagine.… More »
What’s Next?
I haven’t written in a little bit. Part of that is just having been busy, but part of it has also been because of the fact that I find myself at a little bit of a crossroads, or at least in a somewhat introspective place. It’s December, and that always seems to be a time… More »
Kindness
Sitting here at about 30,000 feet above Winnipeg. It is 11 November. The world seems to have changed quite a bit in about a week and yet it hasn’t changed at all. I’m having a hard time really understanding where we are as a society, as a community. Broadly speaking, it feels like we aren’t… More »
One of Us!

The Streets of New York
June was a fantastic month, with a lot of fantastic live music. The new album has gotten some decent play and support from some unexpected places, and I am very thankful for all of it. And now, at the beginning of July, I find myself with a little bit of a break. Today has brought… More »
Sam Ash Summer
It’s a warm and humid June morning here in Boston. Part of my brain still thinks I am maybe 14 or 15 years old, and is telling me I should head downtown in the place where I grew up, buy a Mad Magazine, maybe a pack of baseball cards, or maybe a model plane kit… More »
Fun and Live Music All Summer Long (UPDATED!)
Welcome to the last week in May! It’s getting much warmer, we’re all able to spend more time outside, and you know what that means, right? That’s right – outdoor music, porchfests, and a great chance to all get together! Tales Told Out of School is doing well since its release earlier this month, and… More »
To Thine Own Self Be True
This above all: to thine own self be true,And it must follow, as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any man.Farewell. My blessing season this in thee. – Wm. Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3 One of the things I’ve learned over this fairly interesting life is that it is very… More »
