"For the times they are a-changin'" - Bob Dylan

As the colective consciousness continues to awaken from compulsory hibernation and we as individuals are taking inventory of what we are left to work with, I just want to send out a note of encouragement as well as an update on what I have been up to.  It seems lately that the things that have had the most profound positive impact on me have been the simplest of things - a kind word or glance in passing, a feeling of gratitude for things once taken for granted, the folk wisdom of trite but true mantras  (for ex, The Serenity Prayer).

Hey all you astral souls! Well, a lot has happened since I updated this site, 2019 was quite a rollercoaster ride, and 2020 is completely off the freakin' rails, so I just wanted to reach out and connect with anyone who will possibly happen to see this. As a 1st responder, I have been able to  continue working, but my heart goes out to my fellow artists who have struggled to make ends meet through these pandemic restrictions, and I have  been trying to support them as best i can throughout these tumultuous times.

Exciting news! The first single, Scrapbook, is released!  You can find it on CD Baby, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and other streaming media,.  The Scrapbook EP is in progress once again, with a change in producers and a full head of steam, we will be finishing up the remaining 5 songs.  I will be releasing the next single, Comfort Blues, as a fund-raiser for the Marilyn Stroud Music Alive Program, putting instruments in the hands of young musicians to help them realize their dreams to become artists.  Good things ahead, stay tuned!

Summer 2019 has been a time of reprieve and recovery, but there are exciting things coming as fall finds its way through this heat wave.  The Scrapbook EP has been on a prolonged hiatus, and now is underway once again. The first single release, "Scrapbook" has gotten great reviews and is on local music rotation on 91.3 The Summit. The next single, "Comfort Blues" will be utilized to raise money for the Marilyn Stroud Music Alive program - stay tuned for more exciting developments. Thanks for listening!

I just recently launched a campaign on Indiegogo to raise funds for the Scrapbook EP. I wanted to give my supporters a chance to contribute to the project - and it was a chance to get some cool merch made. I got guitar picks, beer glasses, and t-shirts on the way. More importantly, I put out a sample of the real goods - the music - Scrapbook, the song, is done and I couldn't be happier with the results! I can't wait to see what else we can accomplish!
