It’s Here! An Audio Guide To Cross Country Travel is now available for downloading. I’m excited, and I hope that you are as well! To get it, click on the STORE section above… after a few clicks, sit back and enjoy! Or, if you’d rather order the physical cd, you can do that too. I’ve worked really hard on this album, and I hope it means as much to you as it does to me. I’m already hard at work on songs for the next one… but until then, ENJOY!…
Make sure you opt into the mailing list if you want to get a chance to win a free HOUSE CONCERT!!. After the first week of sales, we’ll randomly select one lucky winner and contact them via email to figure out all of the details.

Thanks to all of you for your love and support! Please know that each and every one of you are the biggest reasons why I believe in what I do. Making music is a family affair– from me, to my wife Holly, who made the original artwork for the record, to all of you, our extended family who love and support music as much as we do– I’m glad I get to share this next big step in my life with all of you.

So, in short– THANKS!!

House Concert Drawing!

Thursday, 22 October, 2009

An Audio Guide To Cross Country Travel will be available for purchase by digital download through this site starting on Tuesday, October 27th. To sweeten the deal a little bit, anyone purchasing the album will be entered into a drawing for a free, private house concert. The winner will be contacted via email to work out the arrangements. We’re just a couple of days away, so in the meantime, keep streaming the album to your hearts content!

I hope to be sitting in your living room, sharing an evening of music and friendship with you in the near future!

introducing, An Audio Guide To Cross Country Travel

There it is, ladies and gentleman!

An Audio Guide To Cross Country Travel.

I know, I know, it’s a strange title… but strangely, I think it fits.

So, for your approval, I submit the record in its entirety. Click on that funny looking blue strip at the bottom of the page, sit back, and enjoy. If the spirit should move you, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment. I’d love to hear what you think about it. Any ideas for a single? Let us know. We haven’t made up our mind yet, and we’d love to have you help us decide. Hate it? Let us know that, too (though I hope with all of my being that you don’t!).

Soon (very soon!) you’ll be able to download the record from this very website… and then itunes (and it’s other less memorably named competitors)… and then you’ll be able to come and buy the album at a show. In the next several months, we’ll release a single to radio and the physical cd will be available for purchase in our online store.

I realize that this is a bit unorthodox… but that’s why I like it.

So sit down, make yourself comfortable, give the album a good spin. Help us decide what the single should be. Leave me a comment with your thoughts. I’m all ears!

If you like it, buy it! Come see a show!

If you don’t like it, then at least you got to hear the whole thing before you decided if you wanted to spend your hard earned money on my hard earned business.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the recorded version of the musical journey my life has been on over the past two years!

Good Morning

Tuesday, 13 October, 2009

The sun has not yet begun to make its way above the horizon, and the sound of a light rain is pitter pattering against my living room window. My most recent habit, which I acquired while I was in Italy a few months ago, is steaming its way through an espresso pot, filling the house with the familiar smell of flavorful alertness. Dogs sleep by my feet, sounding more content in their early hour slumber than ever could I. My father was the king of the pre-dawn during my youth– always awake before the rest of the house could even comprehend leaving the warm confines of our beds. I admit, I felt bad for him. I don’t know what it is that makes teenagers abhor the thought of an early wake up, I just know that such a sentiment is universally shared among the age group. These days, however, where once there were thoughts of sympathy now reside notions of reverence.

I find myself enjoying the order of the morning– darkness rising slowly to some sort of unfamiliar tint of color in the sky (a color unknown to sunsets), rising faster now to the color of an overcast afternoon, rising even faster to the first burst of sunshine as it dashes across the sky. Currently, we’re in the overcast afternoon portion of the morning. I’m waiting for the dash. Once it arrives, I will know that my morning is over. I have things to do, and I won’t be able to enjoy coffee or rub the sleep from my eyes carefree. My dad figured this out a long time ago, and told me that one day I’d figure it out, too. Once the sun is up, there are things to do that you have to do.

But the rain is still here. Perhaps the sun won’t be joining us today…

Maybe I’ll cross “Tuesday” off of the top of my list and write “Wednesday.”

Maybe I’ll go back to bed. Maybe I’ll…

Oh, there it is. It was a little late I guess. Now it’s official.

Good morning.

I’ll have some new album news for you shortly. Thank you for being patient with me!
