SO. i’ve been meaning to write some more personal blog entries since that seems to be the thing for artists to do these days and people do ask for that sort of thing. i will try to do that soon. in the meantime here is some real news. there is an article about the show tonight in the washington post: washingtonpost.com.

ALSO. been writing a lot. recording too. we finished recording 5 new songs ("On Your Side", "Wrecking Ball", "Can’t Save Yourself", "Loving Arms", "Sun Gonna Rise") i think i will release these as an EP. both digitally and in CD form to sell at shows.

ALSO. going to start recording a NEW record soon. these new songs are really fine. i think they call for a more intimate production - i might play all the instruments - probably all acoustic. that sort of thing. will keep you updated. i’ve demoed a handful and will do some more and then record it in no longer than 2 days.

WOLF TRAP. i will be joining the pat mcgee band on stage at the Wolf Trap this summer - July 18. this is a big outdoor venue (7,000 people) we got to see the band and stephen kellogg there last year and have seen Morrissey and more there. save the date. will make for a nice summer evening of music.

that’s it...
