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 »

Live and In Person
Please read through the end, because I need your help with something. My To Do list is incredibly long these days. And I mean, sure, there are things on there like Clean the bathroom, Do laundry, and Shop for groceries, but now there are things on there like Ensure that the website is up-to-date, Coordinate… More »
Ok, Here We Go!
The past few weeks have been a fairly busy time on multiple fronts: I’ve started to go back into Boston on a more regular basis, I spent time with dear friends of mine down in Brooklyn last weekend, and I even got to see my dad for Father’s Day – in person. Much more on… More »
What’s Down The Road? No One Knows
Every so often I have a little bit of a writer’s drought. Sometimes it’s because I’m just out of ideas, sometimes I’m tired, and sometimes I just have too many other things fighting for my attention. I’ve had a little of all three over the past few months, and I guess that’s not uncommon. A… More »
Covid Day 434 – Are We There Yet?
So, please stay with me on this one. I have a question to ask you at the end. The fine folks at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and TripAdvisor contacted me (and a few thousand other people) and allowed me to get my two doses of the Pfizer vaccine over the past three weeks. Now, theoretically, within the… More »
