“Detours” is coming this Friday!

I’m proud of this batch of songs. There’s some straight up rock stuff, songwriter stuff and some sonic weirdness. I hope you’ll take it for spin or 50.

Thanks for the support. It means a lot.

Will you be taking a spin?

Give it a spin.

Go Wolves!

Who played?

I wrote the song “Slowly Then Faster” in 2020 and Jim Soule slapped the bass on it.

He came up from Chicago for a couple of days last summer. We recorded some of his songs in my studio and I played him some stuff. He found himself in front of the mic and added backing vocals. Thx Xim!
