Nice words on Painting the Silence Vol. 1

Now lately I've been a little down. This happens post release. There is so much going on around the release of a record that my energy is high and focused and the excitement is easy. Then there's the let down period. I try to…

WEXT Interview Monday 11/13/17  

howdy

I got to go into WEXT and record an interview with Chris Wienk about the new album. It's always sooooo much fun when I get to go visit.

I was actually there for over 2 hours. It's been awhile since I released anything and Chris and Dave Michaels and I got talking. One of the best things about WEXT besides the fact they play my music, is that they are ALL music fans. Huge music fans. So we always get chatting about music stuff. Like music geeks do haha

Here's a sneak peak at one of the songs I…

Vinyl Pre-orders are still going. I've never made a record before and there are a few things I learned about the process. First, you have to mix and 'master' it slightly differently than for a CD or download. This took…

The album is done. Everything you've heard is crap!!! 

Weird headline.

So yes! The album is FINISHED!!! Woo Hoo! Fist bump! Moondance!!!

It's been quite the journey this time, but well worth the wait in my opinion. This one is pretty damn good.

Oddly enough this is the longest time between records and also most challenging release I've done for me personally. And yet--it's my shortest album! Ha. Part of that is due to the fact that as I've been saying this is Volume 1 with more to come (soon I pormise) and part of that is that I have always wanted to make a…
