Release Day! “We Are Soldiers” is available everywhere you stream music, and available for purchase on Bandcamp. Endless gratitude to the amazing McKail Seely for joining me on this one. Please enjoy and share.

Big weekend coming up. “We Are Soldiers” is out Friday, I’m bassing for Jess Bush at Lowerdeck Sessions in Encino on Saturday, and then Sunday? I’ll be playing a bunch of my tunes at Ojai Pub. Come out if you’re in range.

The loneliest monk
Alone in his funk
Kneels down at the ivory to pray
In walks blood
In an unending flood
The blue notes run purple today

Last night I had a rehearsal. I got to make good music with my friends. It was the brightest spot in the existential gloom I've had in a while. Grab the little joys wherever you can find it, friends. They're as good as a shot of B12.

Hey, by the way- I have a homepage. If you scroll down past the header just a bit you’ll find an email list sign up. I’d love it if you joined it. I promise it won’t be spammy. Promoting it on IG is like screaming into the void. Hoping it’s better here. Thanks, friends.

I’m releasing my first new music in over a year this Friday. “We Are Soldiers” features the amazing McKail Seely on background vocals, and I wish it weren’t as timely as it is. It’s about stepping up with love and support for the marginalized. Let’s all be soldiers.

URGENT BULLETIN: Currently as happy as I have ever been with my guitar sound.

*Arrives on Bluesky like Axl Rose at the beginning of the "Welcome to the Jungle" video...
