Hi everyone! Welcome to my new single. (Or, to paraphrase the immortal Bob & Doug McKenzie: This is my new single, and you are welcome to it.) (And if you’d like to help me keep making more tuneage and get some exclusives along the way, please consider joining my Patreon!) First, let’s give you the… More »

Thank You to the Kind Voices
“Please tell me this isn’t like when your mom sings in church or something,” my friend said. I, the practicing musician of over 40 years and semi-professional musician with a few hundred appearances under my belt, replied “Hunh?” in my most coherent and intelligent way. “Yeah, I mean it’s a great hobby and all…” Dear… More »
The Last Few Live Shows of 2022
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
