Hi, everyone! We’re ending the year better than we started, and instead of writing an end-of-year recap, I want to share with you a nice capstone for 2022. I had the pleasure of performing in two fantastic live shows this past month that exemplify the range of what is possible as a performing musician, and… More »

A Showcase, A Video, and Being in Thin Air
I just spent four days in Bogotá, Columbia, and I’m now writing this at Toronto Pearson Airport (because of course the straightest line between Bogotá, Colombia goes through Canada, and I find no fault with that). Bogotá sits at about 8,500 feet above sea level, so while I have loved the city and the scenery… More »
Clock ran out
Just a short entry today. I finally got COVID – had a strange cough after my livestream on Friday, felt like I’d strained a bit. Then on Saturday was feeling a little worn out, but it had been a long week. Then last night in the middle of the night I felt like I hit… More »
Never Throw Anything Away
Happy Sunday, folks. I know it’s been a while since I wrote in this blog, but everyday life has gotten a little bit in the way. The good news is that writing and recording music is progressing nicely. I haven’t been able to get out to play live as much as I would like right… More »
So Here’s The Thing…
At the relatively young age of 53 I have in fact come to the realization that I will not be a top 40 artist. I am certainly okay with this. In fact, I’m overjoyed merely to know that I have developed the skills and the self-awareness to be able to get what is in my… More »
Back Among the Living
Just a short blog today. It’s been a pretty interesting week, and there were definitely a few very bright spots. This was a week of four shows – and for the first time in two years one of them was in person! On Monday, Washington’s Birthday, I played live, in person, at Porter Belly’s in… More »
Welp….
Another try, and unfortunately another no-go. Andrew Geano and Lady Mallory successfully did their show on Saturday, and Andrew’s single Head Voice got the launch it deserved. This great song, recorded at The Greenhouse studio in New Hampshire, captures a lot of the angst that we’re all feeling right now. Even the opening line about… More »
Closing 2021, Going Live in 2022
A very happy Tibb’s Eve to you all. I believe I have explained the holiday in this blog before, so I won’t do so again, but I did want to take a moment to say I hope that today begins a period of joy, rest, and reflection for you. For me, 2021 has been a… More »
Lull
So for a little while there, things were moving very very fast! The new EP was out, there were new listeners on Spotify, and a chance to play live! We took two bites at the apple to try and get a live show going in August and then in September. And in each case, Danielle,… More »
Recording and Eventing in the Age of Delta
Mark your calendars for coming to Framingham on September 24! I hope all of you are safe and doing well. Things here in Massachusetts are both better and worse than the last time I spoke with you. First off, thank you for your patience as I have not written in a while, but I wanted… More »
