Occasionally, I discuss how a certain song comes about or songwriting in general. I do it when I play all the time. Every song has a story, doesn’t it? I was asked to do this on my blog more often.. And because I am so compliant đ I’ll oblige that request. A quick note about […]
Okay.. ignore the fact that week 1 of my new schedule, I did not adhere to my new schedule. I could blame my trip to Arizona seeing my 3 older kids (see pics below the lyrics). And I could blame returning home on Monday and being exhausted. Add to that, client work that I’m behind […]

My bandâs configuration/membership changed almost a year ago and it was time to re-list members and get new information out there. Additionally, a friend has come on board to help with bookings this year. Feel free to download the […]
New Year! New Song! I wrote this song a couple weeks ago and made the video below on January 1st, 2013.. What better way to kick off the new year than with music. My friend Amber once told me, “The heart’s a bitch and then you die.” This song validates that notion. Lyrics and a […]
A tribute to the troops for 9/11 Last year, September 10, 2011, I was driving to my daughterâs soccer game. I had never written a song as tribute to the troops or for September 11th. I began writing this during the drive (I know.. writing and driving is NOT the best idea..). By the time […]
