As someone who was made fun of in school for my (admittedly neurodivergent) interest in Billy Joel's music, this is how it feels seeing everyone catch up after the documentary.

I've had a wild four year run. I'm so proud of all five of these albums. I genuinely can't believe all this in that time. Pick one. Any one of these and give it an honest shot. I bet you'll end up listening to another.

Don't Wake the Dreamer Pt. III is finally here!
It is the final installation of the series that tells the story of a young woman escaping the grieving process by reliving memories within her lucid dreams.

This Friday I have a musical/concept album coming out. I put a lot of thought and care into this thing. To prove it, here's a detailed look at some important recurring musical motifs. Listening to all three parts is an EXPERIENCE.

You can pre-order DWTD Pt. III digital downloads and on #cassette right now! Peep the comments if you like melodic #poprock, #progrock, #dreamcore, and #conceptalbums. This is loaded with a little bit of all of that.

New song tomorrow! It's about a lucid dream where you're inside a video game. You fly above the clouds and notice the ground beneath you hasn't rendered yet. At the end of the map you loop back to the beginning again.

It's so nice to finally have (most of) my vinyl, CDs, and cassettes (and cats) in one place.

It looks like my distributor dropped the ball, but the song will still be released tomorrow on Bandcamp. It'll be up everywhere else when it feels like it.

It's so rewarding to see all 3 of these together. I can't believe I wrote a musical and it's actually really good. Can't wait to get the last installment out there in July!

My eyes scan the deep blue skies. I don't see any wings, but I still hear them sing.

New song and album coming soon.

First track on Don't Wake the Dreamer Pt. III. This musical is to date the best thing I have ever done in the realm of artistic expression. I'm on the prowl for a cassette label that gets it.

Have you ever felt homesick for a home that no longer exists? Nostalgic for a dream you think you might have had when you were a kid?

Don’t Wake the Dreamer is an ambitious concept album combining lofi/dreamcore sounds with melodic singer/songwriter sensibilities.

After updating the artwork for my concept album Don't Wake the Dreamer Pt. I, I decided it'd be a good time for a vinyl reissue!
