The Countdown

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

40% chance

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.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!

So for all you folks out there who have mellowed with age a bit, maybe a night of acoustic music at a place called the Library might not be such a bad idea.  It sounds pretty good to me.  I am trying to get connected with the old days when I use to play by myself in coffeehouses, subway cars, and on street corners.  It always feels a little more intimate and spontaneous to do so.  It’s a chance to see where all these songs came from and maybe where they are going. So if you don’t really feel like bangin’ at the club and getting sweaty on the dance floor come on out to the Library, but if you would rather do some shots and get a little crazy, I won’t hold it against ya.

This is where I spent most of my high school years. Got a lot of love for this place. Some of my first gigs were here. I look forward to workshopping some new tunes and having their bread pudding. Yummy!
