So, it’s hard to believe after all this time that the record is finally done and uploaded digitally to 35 different music sites. NO more tweaking, no more remixes, no more nothing. It is what it is. I’ve been holding onto it for a long time and it’s good to let it go. The idea that you have to let something out of your hands to receive new things, is at the forefront of my mind.
I think about when I started this record and how much things have changed over the past couple years. It is a real trip. A new family, a new marriage, new experiences, new growth it’s bound to be time to let the next thing manifest. I am one of those people that likes to hold onto things, it’s hard for me to let go , but now it’s time.
Look for it on I Tunes or your favorite digital distributor, June 21st

The Truth Is…
Well, if you are anything like me, I tend to run a lot more on inspiration than disclipline when it comes to the creative process. I have always been a bit lazy like that. My guitar has acted a lot like a best friend I run to sobbing because of heart break, confusion, disillusioment, or in joy and moments of gratitude. To be honest mostly lately I have just felt so busy all the time it is hard to carve out much time to pick up my ol guitar. So although I haven’t written many new songs lately it feels like a storm is brewing and some creative clouds could be on the horizon. So check the forecast and I’ll let you know if there is a chance of rain.
Hey there !
I had a fantastic chance to go out and support the Long Beach Summer Music festival at their kick off party yesterday, hosted by Fingerprint owner Rand. I am not sure what his last name is. He owns the awesome record store next to where I work. You should definitely check out their website because they are constantly having free shows, just last week Everest played…

It was all very spontaneous and amazing. We were sitting on the waterfront enjoying sushi and stellar coconut shrimp. More than anything it was just amazing to see all the talent that is so palpable in Long Beach, musicians, poets, actors, non profit organizations, art, life! I was thrilled to just sit back and chill, looking forward to the summer that lies ahead. If you aren’t feeling it, come out to Long Beach and check out what they are up to, there’s plenty of love to go around.
