How things happen

Good morning, everyone. How are you? Sometimes inspiration comes from different things. In the case of the latest song posted here, Kick it on down the road, this came from a new pedal that I acquired. I ran into a builder online, Wyatt Abrachinsky, who owns WA Bethlehem Amp & Pedal. He had a pedal listed called the Bonesaw that looked interesting. I picked one up and started demoing it and saw a huge potential for me outside of what he envisioned the pedal for. Needless to say, next day I was in the studio writing the new track, Kick it on down the road. I hope that you enjoy the music. Have a great day!

Good morning - The 52 in 52 project

Good morning, everyone. How are you? It's been a busy year so far. The big project this year is the 52 in 52 project. This project will see me release one song a week for 52 weeks. This has been a great experience for me and I hope that you're enjoying the music as well. There's a lot more going on and I look forward to telling you about it soon. In the meantime, I wish you all a great day. Enjoy it!

What's been happening?

Good morning, it's been awhile. I hope that all is well with you. I'm honored to be the recipient of the Lina Jones Diamond Network "Most Popular Social Media Independent Music Artist" award. I'm deeply humbled and grateful to everyone that voted for me.

I've been spending a lot of my time teaching & doing studio work for some other artists. It's always interesting to be able to work with and surprise people who aren't quite sure what I'll bring to the table. I love the challenge.

I have been working on new material and have plenty now to start working on some new releases. I'm working on getting the first project finished and posted as soon as possible. I do want to you for supporting me all this time. I'm grateful for all the support & kind words I've received from you. I hope you're enjoying the music. I'm looking forward to getting you some new music to listen to and enjoy.

Have a great day

Who's on the recordings?

Good afternoon. I've been really busy writing, recording and mixing new music as well as going through some older things that I had laying around. I've been getting a number of questions regarding who is on the recordings. All the performances as well as production and mixing are me. I hope that clears it up. Thank you everyone for the support. I am truly grateful and appreciative. Enjoy the music
