Crude Monopoly

Now, consider yourself special:  I wasn’t supposed to realease this one for a couple months … but in a momentary lapse of secrecy I managed to bang out 150 “printed” copies of the song AND posted it here for you to listen to!

Nowhere Pennsylvania is one of my personal favorites.  It began as a response to a friend who went a little crazy over unrequited feelings and ended four years later as an homage to that moment in your life when you realize you, and a friend you’ve known forever are just moving apart. Whether it’s platonic or romantic, we’ve all been through it. We’ve all lost our way or found a new one.  If you haven’t, then I’m sorry. You haven’t lived enough. (continue reading…)

Saturday was stellar.  “The Imperfect Debut” was a hit … Only 50 copies remain!!

Thank you to all the fans and friends I know and more importantly to those I’ve just made … I hope to post pictures and video this week to share.  Until then,  all my love and gratitude.

Get more info: ABC Harrisburg

It is a great honor I have received in grabbing the opportunity to make a short cameo at the 12th Anniversary bash for the Appalachian Brewing Company this Saturday.  It’s not just that I get to sing for some bar’s birthday … it’s that I get to play a small spot before local favorite, Backyard Tire Fire, who in turn opens for someone else you may have heard of:  a little band I like to call “Cracker”

I’m plugging this not just because I’m going to be there. But because I’m going to be there with free music for you.  Free music that I’ll never copy onto disc and hand out again (so that makes it even special-er!) and to top that, the show is FREE in the first place!!

A million thanks to Jersey Mike, especially, and my many other friends and fans so far of course

Hope to see you at the show.

The Centralia Sinkhole

Ok.  Music AS PROMISED!!  This little beauty is a personal favorite of mine, and I hope you’ll enjoy it, too.  As I’ve often been overheard saying, “This song is the first song I wrote about someone in particular.  Be happy that someone isn’t you…”

Now, this could be the one time I’m wrong, and if I am: well, you know who you are – so, thanks for the inspiration After all these years, songs like this are my catharsis – I don’t hold on to the angry anymore – but I don’t forget how to relate.  I never could.  Or I would forget myself.

So listen on.  The new player is on the right sidebar for your enjoyment, or you can download it here.

I want to take this first moment to apologize publicly for my bad-friend-ness and overall inexcusable behavior, not having published this post sooner.

The Tempest

“One dark and stormy night two lost souls in Manhattan find themselves on the brink of major life decisions. It is a point of no return, a tempest; emotions are high and so are the stakes, and the only thing certain is that after tonight, everything changes…”
