Hey! I had a blast earlier this summer participating in the Acoustic Guitar Project. A guitar gets passed around from artist to artist in the city. You get one week to write and record a song, and sign the guitar. Really fun (and nerve-wracking!). My song is called Janus Dance. Hope you like it!
Thanks to John Hayes and the Pittsburgh Songwriters’ Circle for the opportunity!
In April I had the great pleasure of recording and mixing the music for WQED Sessions‘ episode on The Early Mays… You can see the final product here!
What a wonderful experience at the Friendship Perk & Brew! Thanks to everyone for coming out, and thanks to Christopher Mark Jones, Emily Pinkerton, Ellen Gozion, Brad Yoder and Jeff Berman for playing with me last night!
If you’d like to buy the music or the CD you can do so at Bandcamp or CDBaby (or ask me)!
Looking forward to playing for you (or with you!) again!
Pretty fun! Looking forward to seeing you and making this music for you at Friendship Perk & Brew, 300 S Pacific Ave, Sunday May 6 at 4pm!
…recorded in Studio 256, where the EP was recorded!
The CDs for the new EP are coming soon! Here is a preview of the new music… (send me a note if you need a password).
Almost every year, I relearn “Upon a Christmas Eve” by Hugh Prestwood, which came to me by way of Michael Johnson. It’s a sweet bit of sentiment for the holidays. Here’s this year’s version:
I’m all done with the audio portion of the EP I’m making, at Studio 256 with Christopher Mark Jones. Had a wonderful time with Emily, Ellen, Jason, Jeff and Brad!
Now, on to developing a cover design with Irma, building a website (you’re reading it now…), and getting ready for a launch party of some kind!
